Shifts in the rhizosphere microbiome and exudation profile of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) during infection by Phytophthora cinnamomi and in presence of a biocontrol bacterial... by Frédérique Reverchon, Mariel García-Meléndez, Edgar Guevara-Avendaño, Oscar Mora-Chávez, Itzel A. Solís-García, Wesley Dáttilo, José A. Guererro-Analco, Alfonso Méndez-Bravo, Juan L. Monribot-Villanueva, Violeta Patiño-Conde, Fernando Pineda-García, Eria A. Rebollar

“…Abstract Background Rhizosphere microbiomes are fundamental for plant health, development, and productivity, but can be altered by the incidence of soil-borne pathogens. The dysbiosis (disturbance of the microbiome structure of healthy plants) caused by these pathogens, combined with the recruitment of beneficial microorganisms by the diseased plant, may cause shifts in the rhizosphere microbiome during the infection process. …”

Compassionate Use of Omadacycline in a Down Syndrome Pre-Schooler With Critically Ill Atypical Pneumonia Caused by Macrolide-Resistant Mycoplasma Pneumoniae by Wu D, Xie FJ, Wang YJ, Jiang XH, Zhang GL, Zhang H, Zhu YC, Zhang Y, Tang YJ, Lin YL, Xu JX, Zhang JN, Liu BW, Kang K, Gao Y

“…The widespread application of targeted next-generation sequencing (t-NGS) in clinical practice demonstrates significant targeted advantages in rapid and accurate aetiological identification and antimicrobial resistance genes detection, particularly for difficult-to-culture, rare, or unexpected pathogens. An alarming surge of acquired macrolide resistance (MR) in Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) presents a substantial challenge for the clinical selection of pathogen-targeted antibiotics worldwide, especially for fluoroquinolone-restricted pediatric patients with limited options available.Case Presentation: In this case report, we present for the first time the compassionate use of omadacycline (OMC) in a Down syndrome pre-schooler with critically ill atypical pneumonia caused by macrolide-resistant MP. …”
