Background: Healthcare workers are exposed to an unhealthy environment that increases the risk of developing tuberculosis. Objective: To analyze the prevalence and factors associated with tuberculosis among healthcare workers. Methods: A systematic r...

Background/Objectives: Obesity is a growing problem in the feline population worldwide. An extract of unripe avocado (AvX) has been shown to attenuate gains in body weight and body fat in mice fed a high-fat diet. The aim of this study was to evaluat...

Klebsiella oxytoca originating from shellfish Scapharca subcrenata contains a number of virulence-related genes. In this study, we investigated its pathogenicity using a murine intestinal infection model and predicted its antibacterial compounds and...

The vital role of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in tea plant growth is well established; however, the mechanisms underlying how increasing cultivation chronosequence (CC) influences AM fungal distribution remain unclear. An investigation was cond...

Novel waterfowl reoviruses (nWRVs) have been reported in several countries, but their circulation and genetic characteristics in Vietnam remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated nWRVs in northern Vietnam through molecular detection, v...

Antibiotic resistance (AR) in environmental Escherichia coli represents a growing public health challenge. This study evaluated the prevalence of AR among E. coli isolates recovered from surface water bodies within the Ameca River basin in Jalisco, M...

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is the causative agent of caseous lymphadenitis, a significant infectious disease that affects small ruminants and poses economic challenges to livestock production. This study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of...

Salmonella is a major foodborne pathogen, yet real-time data on duck-derived strains in China remain scarce. This study investigated the epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), gene profiles, and PFGE patterns of 114 Salmonella isolates recover...

Biofilms are a spontaneously formed slimy matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) enveloping miniature bacterial colonies, which aid in pathogen colonization, shielding the bacteria from antibiotics, as well as imparting them resistance to...

This study evaluated the inhibitory efficacy of sulphur dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, copper sulphate pentahydrate, chlorine-based formulations, a chlorine-free formulation, ethanol, and acetic acid against Cladosporium cladosporioides, Aspergillus nig...
