Bacterial contamination in public transport during COVID-19 pandemic: Characterization of an unusual Staphylococcus aureus isolate tolerant to vancomycin by Eva Smelikova, Marcela Krutova, Vaclav Capek, Marie Brajerova, Pavel Drevinek, Jan Tkadlec

“…Population analysis profile-area under the curve ratio (PAP-AUC) testing did not confirm the hVISA phenotype, but mutations in the hVISA phenotype-related gene vraR and other genes related to cell wall synthesis (fmtB) and intercellular adhesion (sasC) were found. Our study shows that in the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the intensive use of disinfectants, public transport was a source of opportunistic bacterial pathogens including S. aureus with unusual vancomycin resistance phenotype that could be easily missed by standard susceptibility testing.…”

What is the relationship between exposure to environmental pollutants and severe mental disorders? A systematic review on shared biological pathways by Pierluigi Catapano, Mario Luciano, Salvatore Cipolla, Daniela D'Amico, Alessandra Cirino, Maria Chiara Della Corte, Gaia Sampogna, Andrea Fiorillo

“…Studies carried out with humans, which are mainly focused on measuring the impact of particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) exposure on mental health, showed an increased risk of depression or psychotic relapses through the inflammation and oxidative stress pathways, or through the alteration of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Animal models showed the potential impact of pollution on brain functioning through increased inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, HPA axis disruption, hippocampal damage, and neurotransmitters dysregulation. …”
