“…Absence of VIM carbapenemase-encoding gene in the DNA of the recovered isolates and a low level of phenotypic resistance (10.22% of isolates from cervical swabs) can be one of the reasons for recommending first-line carbapenems as antibiotics of choice to treat animal diseases associated with Escherichia coli, along with fluoroquinolones as reserve antimicrobials. …”

Sex Variations in the Oral Microbiomes of Youths with Severe Periodontitis by Ya-Qiong Zhao, Ying-Hui Zhou, Jie Zhao, Yao Feng, Zheng-Rong Gao, Qin Ye, Qiong Liu, Yun Chen, Shao-Hui Zhang, Li Tan, Marie Aimee Dusenge, Jing Hu, Yun-Zhi Feng, Fei Yan, Yue Guo

“…The Simpson and Shannon indices were not significantly different between the two groups. β-Diversity suggested that the samples were reasonably divided into groups. The Kruskal-Wallis test based on the relative abundance of species, combined with the LEfSe analysis showed that the dominant bacteria in males were Pseudomonas and Papillibacter, whereas the dominant bacteria in women were Fusobacteriales and Tannerella. …”

Can growth in captivity alter the calcaneal microanatomy of a wild ungulate? by Cottereau, Romain, Ortiz, Katia, Locatelli, Yann, Houssaye, Alexandra, Cucchi, Thomas

“…These results suggest that calcaneal microanatomy is more affected by population differences than by locomotor variation. For all these reasons, this preliminary study doesn’t support the use of microanatomy of the calcaneus as an indicator of change in locomotor behaviour induced by captivity in the archaeological record. …”

Rap1 and mTOR signaling pathways drive opposing immunotoxic effects of structurally similar aryl-OPFRs, TPHP and TOCP by Bilin Zhao, Shuang Zheng, Gaoxiang Yang, Zhijun He, Jiewei Deng, Lijuan Luo, Xinyan Li, Tiangang Luan

“…During individual omics analyses, we unfortunately only obtained highly similar results for both TPHP and TOCP, failing to identify the key reasons for their differences. These results revealed comparable disturbances induced by both compounds, including disruptions in nucleic acid synthesis and energy metabolism, blocking ADP to ATP conversion by reducing TCA cycle intermediates, consequently leading to ATP depletion. …”
