Introduction: are tick-borne bacteria affecting both human and animal health. The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence of in questing ticks collected in Lublin Province, eastern Poland.
Material And Methods: Ticks were collected by the flagging method. Total DNA from ticks was extracted by boiling in ammonium hydroxide. Detection of was performed by amplifying a fragment of the 16S rDNA gene.
Results: Overall, 626 I. ricinus ticks were tested for the presence of DNA. The prevalence of the pathogenic bacteria was 1.28%. The occurrence of among adults was 1.8%, whereas none of the collected nymphs were infected.
Conclusions: The study revealed the presence of in in eastern Poland, which constitutes a potential health risk for residents, tourists, forestry, and agricultural workers.

Introduction: Despite a scarcity of data, before 2022 Ukraine was already considered a high-prevalence country for carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE), and the situation has dramatically worsened during the full-scale war with Russia. The aim of this study was to analyse CPEs isolated in Poland from victims of war in Ukraine.
Methods: The study included 65 CPE isolates from March 2022 till February 2023, recovered in 36 Polish medical centres from 57 patients arriving from Ukraine, differing largely by age and reason for hospitalisation.

Three-quarters of the planet's land surface has been altered by humans, with consequences for animal ecology, movements and related ecosystem functioning. Species often occupy wide geographical ranges with contrasting human disturbance and environmental conditions, yet, limited data availability across species' ranges has constrained our understanding of how human pressure and resource availability jointly shape intraspecific variation of animal space use. Leveraging a unique dataset of 758 annual GPS movement trajectories from 375 brown bears (Ursus arctos) across the species' range in Europe, we investigated the effects of human pressure (i.

- The analysis explores the impact of the global pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian war on the epidemiology of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) in Poland from 2018 to 2022.
- There was a notable rise in MDR-TB cases coinciding with the influx of immigrants from high-incidence countries, highlighting concerns about pre-XDR and XDR strains among patients.
- The Beijing genotype was prevalent among both Polish patients and immigrants, indicating a significant potential for increased transmission of MDR-TB within Poland's population.

Introduction: In 2022-2023, examinations were carried out for the presence of a pathogenic bacterium in ready-to-eat (RTE) vegetable products (sprouts and vegetable mixtures and salads) sold for immediate consumption in retail shops located in Lublin, eastern Poland. The identification of strains were performed according to the Polish Standard and accomplished with the Microgen Listeria-ID System.
Results: A high prevalence of infections was found in the unprocessed sprouts of plants belonging to the cabbage (Brassicaceae) family - kale (30.
