Aztreonam/avibactam (AZA), as one of the novel β-lactamases and β-lactamase inhibitor combinations, is considered to be a promising option for bloodstream infection (BSI) of carbapenem-resistant (CR-Kp). However, decreased susceptibility of AZA activity in has been reported. The aim of this study was to identify the mechanisms of BSI CR-Kp with decreased susceptibility of AZA (minimal inhibitory concentration above 16/4 mg/L) (AZAH-Kp). Nine BSI AZAH-Kp isolates were screened from 317 CR-Kp isolates in Blood Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System (BRICS) program. Whole genome sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, and the relative expression of , , and were explored for CR-Kp with decreased susceptibility to AZA. The results revealed that elevated inhibitory concentration of AZA has emerged in CR-Kp before previous clinical exposure. In addition, decreased AZA susceptibility was associated with higher KPC expression and changes in OmpK35-37.

Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is a major concern for pig producers, as stress and early weaning increase susceptibility to enteropathogens like enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium).

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is an immunomodulatory molecule that may play an immunosuppressive role in nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC), specifically basal cell carcinoma (BCC). We analyzed the role of IL10 promoter variants in genetic determinants of BCC susceptibility and their association with IL10 mRNA and IL-10 serum levels. Three promoter variants (- 1082 A > G, - 819 T > C, and - 592 A > C) were examined in 250 BCC patients and 250 reference group (RG) individuals.

The mango cultivar 'Apple' is commercially important in Kenya but highly susceptible to russeting. Russeting refers to an area of fruit skin where the primary (epidermal) surface has been replaced by a secondary (peridermal) surface. The objective was to establish histologies, gene expressions and chemical compositions of a natural periderm, a wound-induced periderm and of cuticles of an un-russeted skin.
