Background: Worldwidely cultivated, melon is commercially an important fruit crop, as it is in Iran.
Objectives: Establishment of an efficient plant regeneration system plays a pivotal role in the plant transformation, hence, the importance of regeneration protocol for Iranian melon (Cucumis melo L. var. Gorgab) has encouraged us to work on melon regeneration.
Material And Methods: The effect of selective media, including various concentrations of the 6-benzyladenine (BA), cefotaxime, as well as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on regeneration of the cotyledonary petioles derived from a 6-day-old grown seedlings were assessed.
Results: The highest frequency of regeneration rate was recorded at 1.5 mg.L of the BA plus 250 mg.L cefotaxime in addition to 1 mg.L BA plus 1000 mg.L cefotaxime. The highest percentage of the shoot formation (100%) was recorded at 1 mg.L BA plus 1000 mg.L cefotaxime, while, it was relatively lower (75%) on than the medium containing 1.5 mg.L BA in combination with 250 mg.L cefotaxime. The highest root induction was observed in the medium containing 500 mg.L cefotaxime + 0.1 mg.L IAA. A significant positive influence on roots and leaves formation, as well as their number, in addition to regeneration of shoots was observed as well.
Conclusions: This is the first work reporting an appropriate regeneration procedure for the melon, an Iranian native crop.

Water contamination, particularly by antibiotics, poses a significant threat to both natural resources and human health due to the rise of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Addressing this issue requires an eco-friendly and effective solution. In this study, we synthesized a Copper-Carrageenan bionanocomposite for the photocatalytic degradation of Cefixime (CF) using a green route, avoiding traditional chemical methods.

Objectives: Since June 2022, there has been a rise in the number of ceftriaxone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae cases detected in England (n = 15), of which a third were XDR. We describe the demographic and clinical details of the recent cases and investigate the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of the isolates. For a comprehensive overview, we also reviewed 16 ceftriaxone-resistant cases previously identified in England since December 2015 and performed a global genomic comparison of all publicly available ceftriaxone-resistant N.

Article Synopsis
- Guidelines suggest giving kids with bacterial meningitis a medicine called ceftriaxone in certain doses.
- Researchers studied how well this medicine enters the brain's protective fluid in kids and found that the once-daily method works better than the twice-daily method for some bacteria.
- They learned that while the once-a-day dose is better, neither dose worked well enough for treating all kinds of meningitis.
