Antimicrobial resistance is a growing health concern worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of beta-lactam infusion on the emergence of bacterial resistance in patients with severe pneumonia in the intensive care unit.
As the challenges to ecological systems from human induced landscape and climatic changes have begun to alter ecological systems globally, the need for ecological information about the responses to such changes has grown rapidly. Animal movement data has become a key resource to understand and quantify the changes ecological systems are experiencing, as well as understand baseline (possibly normative) ecological dynamics.
Anthrax is reported with frequency but poorly understood in Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam. In Vietnam, anthrax surveillance is national. However, case detection, prevention, and control are implemented locally at the provincial level.
Understanding the role of aerosols is critical to effective management and protection to reduce the transmission of viral diseases. However, quantifying the role of virus aerosols is inherently multidisciplinary, bridging the fields of virology, medicine, interfacial chemistry, and aerosol physics.
Quickly understanding the genomic changes that lead to pathogen emergence is necessary to launch mitigation efforts and reduce harm. In this study, we tracked in real time a 2022 bacterial plant disease outbreak in U.S. geraniums (Pelargonium × hortorum) caused by Xhp2022, a novel lineage of Xanthomonas hortorum.
Isogenic cells respond in a heterogeneous manner to interferon. Using a micropatterning approach combined with high-content imaging and spatial analyses, we characterized how the population context (position of a cell with respect to neighboring cells) of epithelial cells affects their response to interferons.
Xanthomonas euvesicatoria the primary causal agent of bacterial spot of pepper (BSP), poses a significant global challenge, resulting in severe defoliation and yield losses for pepper growers. We present the whole genome sequences of eight X. euvesicatoria strains associated with BSP in Vietnam.
HIV-related comorbidities appear to be related to chronic inflammation, a condition characterizing people living with HIV (PLWH). Prior work indicates that cannabidiol (CBD) might reduce inflammation; however, the genetics underpinning of this effect are not well investigated.
Arthropod-borne viruses, also known as arboviruses, are usually transmitted between hosts by the bite of blood-feeding arthropods, including mosquitoes, sandflies and ticks. A sub-group of arboviruses, which include dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV), are preferentially transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes.
Adolescents and young adults (young people) with HIV (YPWH) often struggle with treatment self-management. Many have symptoms due to HIV disease, medication side-effects, or comorbid conditions.
