The World Health Organization (WHO) has been implementing antimicrobial surveillance with a "One Health" approach, known as the Global Surveillance ESBL Tricycle Project. We describe the implementation of the Tricycle Project (pilot) in Indonesia, focusing on its results, challenges and recommendations. The samples were 116 patients with bloodstream infections caused by ESBL , 100 rectal swabs collected from pregnant women, 240 cecums of broiler, and 119 environmental samples, using the standardized method according to the guidelines. ESBL-producing was found in 40 (40%) of the 100 pregnant women, while the proportion of ESBL-producing was 57.7% among the total -induced bloodstream infections. ESBL-producing was isolated from 161 (67.1%) out of 240 broilers. On the other hand, the average concentration of in the water samples was 2.0 × 10 CFU/100 mL, and the ratio of ESBL-producing was 12.8% of total . Unfortunately, 56.7% of questionnaires for patients were incomplete. The Tricycle Project (pilot) identified that the proportion of ESBL-producing was very high in all types of samples, and several challenges and obstacles were encountered during the implementation of the study in Indonesia. The finding of this study have implication to health/the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance. We recommend continuing this project and extending this study to other provinces to determine the AMR burden as the baseline in planning AMR control strategies in Indonesia. We also recommend improving the protocol of this study to minimize obstacles in the field.

Department of Medical Microbiology, University of Ghana Medical School, College of Health Sciences, University of Ghana, Accra, Ghana.
Background: Vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, are at increased risk of potentially life-threatening infections with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) for both mother and newborn. However, data regarding ESBL-E carriage and associated risk factors in Ghanaian pregnant women remain scarce.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ESBL-E carriage and its associated risk factors among pregnant women attending the antenatal clinic at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Article Synopsis
- The One Health (OH) approach to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is gaining recognition, but there’s a lack of clear guidance on implementing effective surveillance across different sectors.
- In Nepal, the Tricycle Project utilized a multi-stage method to collect samples from humans, poultry, and wastewater to assess the prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria.
- The study found the highest prevalence of ESBL-producing bacteria in wastewater (91%), followed by bloodstream infections in humans (49%), poultry (38.6%), and healthy pregnant women (15%), leading to important insights for improving waste disposal and AMR control strategies.
The Recent Progress of Tricyclic Aromadendrene-Type Sesquiterpenoids: Biological Activities and Biosynthesis.

The tricyclic-aromadendrene-type sesquiterpenes are widely distributed and exhibit a range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, antibacterial, insecticidal and cytotoxic properties. Several key sesquiterpene synthases (STSs) of this type have been identified, of which, viridiflorol synthase has been engineered for efficiently biosynthesizing viridiflorol in an strain. This paper comprehensively summarizes the distribution and biological activity of aromadendrene-type sesquiterpenes in plant essential oils and microorganisms.

Background: Breathlessness frequently becomes severe among people with respiratory disease. Mirtazapine, a widely used antidepressant, has shown promise in the modulation of respiratory sensation and the response to it, as well as reducing feelings of panic, which often accompanies breathlessness. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of mirtazapine to alleviate severe persisting breathlessness.
