Background And Aim: Slaughterhouses and their effluents could serve as a "hotspot" for the occurrence and distribution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the environment. This study aimed to understand the distribution of tetracycline resistance genes in isolated from the floor surface and effluent samples of pig slaughterhouses in Banten Province, Indonesia.
Materials And Methods: Ten samples, each from floor surface swabs and effluents, were collected from 10 pig slaughterhouses in Banten Province. strains were isolated and identified by referring to the protocol of the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase from the WHO (2021). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to detect the genes.
Results: The , , , , , and genes were distributed in the isolates from the floor surface samples, and the , , , , , and genes were distributed in the isolates from the effluent samples. The gene (60%) was the most dominant gene in the isolates from floor surface samples, while the gene was the dominant one in the isolates from the effluent samples (50%). The + gene combination was the dominant pattern (15%) in the isolates.
Conclusion: The high prevalence and diversity of the genes in floor surface and effluent samples from pig slaughterhouses in Banten Province indicated that the transmission of the genes had occurred from pigs to the environment; thus, this situation should be considered a serious threat to public health.

Few studies have examined outcomes for Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) in Black versus White patients. We compared time to surgery and defect sizes after MMS between Black versus White patients with cSCC. Patients with biopsy-proven cSCC treated with MMS at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania were identified from a prospectively maintained database (2006-2023).

Tulip poplar () is a member of the Magnolia family, is a large, fast-growing, long-lived, deciduous tree native to eastern North America. One-year-old tulip poplar seedlings grown under field conditions in a commercial nursery in Warren County, Tennessee, exhibited severe root rot in May 2024. Dark brown to black lesions were observed on the affected roots.

Rapid and sensitive detection of virus-related antigens and antibodies is crucial for controlling sudden seasonal epidemics and monitoring neutralizing antibody levels after vaccination. However, conventional detection methods still face challenges related to compatibility with rapid, highly sensitive, and compact detection apparatus. In this work, we developed a Si nanowire (SiNW)-based field-effect biosensor by precisely controlling the process conditions to achieve the required electrical properties via complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible nanofabrication processes.

Using the framework of an investigation of the stimuli-responsive behavior of peptide assembly on a solid surface, this study on the behavior of a chemisorbed peptide on a gold surface was performed. The studied peptide is a dimeric form of the antimicrobial peptide Trichogin GAIV, which was also modified by substituting the glycine with lysine residues, while the N-terminus octanoyl group was replaced by a lipoic one that was able to bind to the gold surface. In this way, a chemically linked peptide assembly that is pH-responsive was obtained because of the protonation/deprotonation of the sidechains of the Lys residues.
