This study was conducted to explore the prevalence and transmission of mcr-1 Escherichia coli among healthy rural residents in Shandong, China, and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and control of spread and treatment of multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli. A total of 218 healthy residents from 3 villages in Guan County, Shandong Province, China were included in this study, and their fecal samples were collected. Colistin-resistant Escherichia coli were selected, and their drug sensitivity and plasmids' transferability were measured. After analysis, some conclusions can be drawn. The colistin-resistant Escherichia coli, most strains of which are MDROs, is common and highly transmissible in healthy residents in rural areas in China. Interventions should be implemented to prevent the spread of colistin-resistant Escherichia coli through health education and tighter regulation of antibiotics.

From a One Health perspective, dogs and cats have begun to be recognized as important reservoirs for clinically significant multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. In this study, we investigated the occurrence and genomic features of ESβL producing Enterobacterales isolated from dogs, in the province of Imbabura, Ecuador. We identified four isolates expressing ESβLs from healthy and diseased animals.

The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne virus with a long history of recurring epidemics transmitted through mosquitoes. The rapid spread of CHIKV has intensified the need for potent vaccines. Escherichia coli (), a vital part of human gut microbiota, is utilized in recombinant DNA technology for cloning.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare but life-threatening soft tissue infection, often accompanied by severe systemic toxicity. Early detection and prompt treatment are critical for survival. We report a case of NF in a 53-year-old diabetic woman following a subcutaneous insulin injection in the thigh.

Maintaining proper hydration is crucial for human health, physiological functions, and cognitive performance. This study sought to determine the hydration status and the microbial safety of tap water in an urban setting (Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology Campus) and a rural community (Adjamesu) in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The water safety perception and hydration status of 171 study participants aged 10-61 years were assessed.

Poor wear- and corrosion-resistance of 316L SS implants are critical problems in orthopedic implants. This study aims to improve the wear- and corrosion-resistance of 316L SS through surface coating. In this study, a bilayer composite coating consisting of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) as the first layer, and titania (TiO)- and Cu-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Cu-MBGNs) were deposited as the second layer on a 316L SS electrophoretic deposition (EPD).
