Immediate identification of travellers' diarrhoea-causing pathogens may not be possible in remote settings, but samples can be stored for epidemiological and related research. We collected pilot data to evaluate the utility of three different preservation media for testing stored faecal samples compared to immediate testing of fresh samples using the BioFire FilmArray multiplex PCR gastrointestinal panel (bioMérieux). No previous studies have demonstrated the utility of testing faecal samples directly by PCR BioFire FilmArray following prolonged storage and transportation in OMNIgene, DNA shield and FTA cards.

Industrial data indicated that the fresh-cut FVH sector is characterised by process water at cooled temperature, operational cycles between 1 and 15 h, and product volumes between 700 and 3000 kg. Intervention strategies were based on water disinfection treatments mostly using chlorine-based disinfectants.

The increasing incidence of bacterial infections has led to rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a significant concern in public health across the globe. Henceforth, there is an urgency to address the AMR catastrophe, including developing new antibiotics, promoting the appropriate use of existing antibiotics, and investing more in research and development. Development of potent antibiotic derivatives is the call of the day.

The quantification of proteoforms, i.e., all molecular forms in which proteins can be present, by top-down proteomics provides essential insights into biological processes at the molecular level.

Bacterial infections, such as sepsis, require prompt and precise identification of the causative bacteria for appropriate antibiotics treatment. Traditional methods such as culturing take 2-5 days, while newer techniques such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and mass spectrometry are hindered by blood impurities. Consequently, this study developed a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based acoustofluidic technique for rapid bacterial detection without culturing or lysing.
