Hybrid strains of enterotoxigenic/Shiga toxin-producing , United Kingdom, 2014-2023.

J Med Microbiol

January 2025

NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Gastrointestinal Infections, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.

Diarrhoeagenic (DEC) pathotypes are defined by genes located on mobile genetic elements, and more than one definitive pathogenicity gene may be present in the same strain. In August 2022, UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) surveillance systems detected an outbreak of hybrid Shiga toxin-producing /enterotoxigenic (STEC-ETEC) serotype O101:H33 harbouring both Shiga toxin () and heat-stable toxin (). These hybrid strains of DEC are a public health concern, as they are often associated with enhanced pathogenicity.

Bacterial sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remain prominent in the United States among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Doxycycline for post-exposure prophylaxis (DoxyPEP) is a regimen by which the antibiotic doxycycline is taken after sex to prevent bacterial STDs, such as, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Despite this, this study was conducted because there are a limited number of publications that describe GBMSM's knowledge of, and interest in, taking DoxyPEP and preferences regarding its implementation.

January 2025

Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, College of Public Health, Zhengzhou University, 100 Kexue Avenue, Zhengzhou, Henan, 450001, PR China.

: several adverse effects of ozone (O) and nitrogen dioxide (NO) are assessed using combined oxidant capacity (O) and redox-weighted oxidant capacity (Owtx) as surrogates. However, the associations of oxidant capacity (O and Owtx) with platelet-based inflammatory indicators and the potential modifying role of physical activity (PA) remain unclear. : 31 318 participants were selected from the baseline survey of the Henan Rural Cohort Study.
