Bacterial infections often involve more than one pathogen. While it is well established that polymicrobial infections can impact disease outcomes, we know little about how pathogens interact and affect each other's behaviour and fitness. Here, we used a microscopy approach to explore interactions between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and six human opportunistic pathogens that often co-occur in polymicrobial infections: Acinetobacter baumannii, Burkholderia cenocepacia, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus.

Leafcutter ants are dominant herbivores in the Neotropics and rely on a fungus (Leucoagaricus gongylophorus) to transform freshly gathered leaves into a source of nourishment rather than consuming the vegetation directly. Here we report two virus-like particles that were isolated from L. gongylophorus and observed using transmission electron microscopy.

The mutualistic interaction between trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) can have a major effect on forest dynamics and specifically on seedling establishment. Here, we compared the EMF community composition associated with the roots of young saplings and mature trees of two co-habiting Pinaceae: Pinus halepensis and Cedrus deodara growing together in a post-fire forest plot, using fungal ITS metabarcoding. We found that the differences in the EMF community between the two sapling groups were mostly attributed to changes in the relative abundance of specific fungal species, with little species turnover.

Introduction Caregivers of individuals with head, neck, and face cancer play a pivotal role in providing support, yet they face distinct challenges. This study aims to explore caregiving experiences and consequences among this population. Methods A multicentric cross-sectional study involving 200 caregivers using a convenience sampling method was conducted in Pune.
