Background: The 3M™ Molecular Detection Assay 2 - STEC Gene Screen (stx and eae) method is based on gene amplification by the use of real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification when used with the 3M Molecular Detection System for the rapid and specific detection of Shiga toxin gene (stx1 and/or stx2) and intimin gene (eae) from Shiga toxin-producing enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (STEC) in enriched foods.
Objective: The 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - STEC Gene Screen (stx and eae) method was evaluated as a Level 2 method modification to add new matrixes to the certified claim: 25 g fresh raw ground beef (approximately 75% lean), 375 g fresh raw ground pork (approximately 70% lean), 375 g fresh raw poultry parts, and 25 g sprouts.
Methods: Matrix studies were conducted to assess the method's performance compared to the U. S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service Microbiology Laboratory Guidebook, 5C.00 for meat and poultry, and to the U. S. Food and Drug Administration Bacteriological Analytical Manual, Ch. 4A for sprouts, using an unpaired study design.
Results: The 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - STEC Gene Screen (stx and eae) method demonstrated no significant differences between presumptive and confirmed results or between candidate and reference method results for any of the matrixes tested.
Conclusion And Highlights: The data collected in these studies demonstrate that the 3M Molecular Detection Assay 2 - STEC Gene Screen (stx and eae) is a reliable method for the rapid and specific detection of STEC in fresh raw ground beef (approximately 75% lean), fresh raw ground pork (approximately 70% lean), fresh raw poultry parts, and sprouts.

Background: Acute pulmonary embolism represents the third most prevalent cardiovascular pathology, following coronary heart disease and hypertension. Its untreated mortality rate is as high as 20-30%, which represents a significant threat to patient survival. In view of the current lack of real-time monitoring techniques for acute pulmonary embolism, this study primarily investigates the potential of the pulsatility electrical impedance tomography (EIT) technique for the detection and real-time monitoring of acute pulmonary embolism through the collection and imaging of the pulsatile signal of pulmonary blood flow.

Aim: The study was designed to evaluate molecular alterations, relevant to the prognosis and personalized therapy of salivary gland cancers (SGCs).
Materials And Methods: DNA was extracted from archival tissue of 40 patients with various SGCs subtypes. A targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel was used for the identification of small-scale mutations, focal and chromosomal arm-level copy number changes.

Background: Treponemal diseases are a significant global health risk, presenting challenges to public health and severe consequences to individuals if left untreated. Despite numerous genomic studies on Treponema pallidum and the known possible biases introduced by the choice of the reference genome used for mapping, few investigations have addressed how these biases affect phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of these bacteria. In this study, we ascertain the importance of selecting an appropriate genomic reference on phylogenetic and evolutionary analyses of T.

Background: The St-genome-sharing taxa are highly complex group of the species with the St nuclear genome and monophyletic origin in maternal lineages within the Triticeae, which contains more than half of polyploid species that distributed in a wide range of ecological habitats. While high level of genetic heterogeneity in plastome DNA due to a reticulate evolutionary event has been considered to link with the richness of the St-genome-sharing taxa, the relationship between the dynamics of diversification and molecular evolution is lack of understanding.
Results: Here, integrating 106 previously and 12 newly sequenced plastomes representing almost all previously recognized genomic types and genus of the Triticeae, this study applies phylogenetic reconstruction methods in combination with lineage diversification analyses, estimate of sequence evolution, and gene expression to investigate the dynamics of diversification in the tribe.
