A normal (S2-N) and a Cr-tolerant (S2-T) strain of Scenedesmus acutus, grown in Cr-free medium or in the presence of 1, 5, or 10 mg/liter Cr(VI), were fed to Daphnia magna. An increase of growth and fecundity was observed in the daphnids when the algae had undergone an increase of dry mass following Cr treatment, which happened in S2-N in the presence of 1 mg/liter and in S2-T in the presence of 5 mg/liter. When the algae were pretreated with 10 mg/liter, growth and fecundity were reduced in the daphnids fed on S2-N, but remained normal in the daphnids fed on S2-T. It is concluded that the tolerant strain remains a good food source even if grown in the presence of a Cr concentration that reduces the nutritional value of the normal strain.

Three novel trifluoromethylated compounds were designed and synthesized by reacting trifluoroacetimidoyl chloride derivatives with acetamidine hydrochloride or thiourea in the presence of potassium carbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate as a base. In vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated the efficacy of the tested compounds in controlling root-knot nematode disease on pistachio rootstocks caused by Bis-trifluoromethylated derivatives, namely ,''-thiocarbonylbis('-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetimidamide) (compound ), showed high efficacy as novel and promising nematicides, achieving up to 78.28% control at a concentration of 0.

Critically ill patients are characterized by substantial pathophysiological changes that alter the pharmacokinetics (PK) of hydrophilic antibiotics, including carbapenems. Meropenem is a key antibiotic for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli, and such pathophysiological alterations can worsen treatment outcomes. This study aimed to determine the population PK of meropenem and to propose optimized dosing regimens for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in critically ill patients.

Tigecycline is regarded as one of the few important last-resort antibiotics to treat complicated skin and intra-abdominal infections. Members of the genus Staphylococcus are zoonotic pathogens and pose a serious threat to public health. Tigecycline resistance in this species appears to be a rare phenomenon, and the mechanisms underlying tigecycline resistance have not been fully elucidated.
