Genome-based diagnostics provides relevant information to guide patient treatment and support pathogen and resistance surveillance. Recently, Coll et al. introduced a curated database for predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from Enterococcus faecium genomics data, offering excellent predictive values for susceptibility to important antimicrobials. Challenges to predict resistance to last-resort antimicrobials remain.

Objective: The innate immune defense plays a pivotal role in protecting the urinary tract from uropathogenic invasion and maintaining immune homeostasis. Dysregulation of the innate immune system can result in recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTI) due to heightened susceptibility to uropathogens. Despite this, predicting the risk of recurrence and the degree of immune compromise in patients who have had one urinary tract infection remains challenging.

Background: Pharmacological vitamin C (Vit-C), or high-dose Vit-C has recently gained attention as a potential cancer therapeutic. However, the anticancer activity of Vit-C has not been investigated in realistic 3D models of human cancers, especially with respect to breast cancer (BC), and its potential benefits remain under debate. Herein, we investigate the activity and mechanism of action of pharmacological Vit-C on two BC tumor spheroids.
