Three pseudomonas-like organisms have been shown to metabolically oxidize 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). Capability for this oxidative dissimilation varied with each organism. Of the three, isolate "Y" was the most proficient, isolate "I" was less, and isolate "II" was the least. For accelerated TNT degradation, addition of glucose or a nitrogenous substance was essential. Complete dissimilation within 24 h by isolate "Y" cultures supplemented with 0.5% yeast extract is presumed since no TNT was detectable.

Background: Isolated subsegmental pulmonary embolism (issPE) is a commonly encountered diagnosis. Although the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes are used for research, their validity for identifying issPE is unknown. Moreover, issPE diagnosis is challenging, and the findings from radiology reports may conflict with those from expert radiologists.

Colibacillosis is a disease caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) isolates which results in significant morbidity and mortality in poultry, as well as in economic loses. In order to identify APEC strains in a population of 898 E. coli isolates from poultry samples collected from different avian flocks located in the Valencian Region, Spain, we analysed the most significantly related to highly-pathogenic colibacillosis virulence-associated genes (VAGs) (hlyF, iroN, iss, iutA and ompT) by multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

The European grapevine moth () poses a significant threat to vineyards worldwide, causing extensive economic losses. While its ecological interactions and control strategies have been well studied, its associated viral diversity remains unexplored. Here, we employ high-throughput sequencing data mining to comprehensively characterize the virome, revealing novel and diverse RNA viruses.

Hemoparasitic diseases represent a significant problem with a considerable impact on tropical and subtropical areas of the world. These conditions cause economic losses associated with multi-organic failure and even the death of animals. In these areas, the hemoparasites are transmitted in an enzootic cycle when infectious cattle, such as persistently infected animals, including cows, contribute to the success of transmission.
