Advances in whole genome sequencing for foodborne pathogens: implications for c...

The Supplementary Material for this article can be found online at: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fcimb.2025.1593219/full#supplementary-material; Foodborne outbreaks affecting millions of people worldwide are a significant and growing global health threat, exacerbated by the emergence of new and increasingly virulent foodborne pathogens. Traditional methods of detecting these outbreaks, including...

Swine industry: validated PCR-based method for detecting enterotoxigenic Escher...

[Excerpt] Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) infections lead to significant costs for the swine industry worldwide. Bacterial fimbriae (F4/F5/F6/F18/F41) allow the adhesion of the bacteria to epithelial cells, and when both the immunological systems and the gut mic ro biota are poorly developed, ETEC colonizes and produces one or more enterotoxins (LT/ STa/ STb) that can have local and systemic effects. Therefore, ...

Students' summer internships in a research centre: the impact on scientific lit...

Science communication is crucial for engaging society in real-life contexts. In this line of thought, research centres play a pivotal role in promoting dynamic and interactive communication that enables science to be disseminated. This study constitutes a qualitative research based on a case study involving middle school students, researchers and teachers, which took place in a research centre in Portugal that ...

Comprehensive molecular characterization of anti-EFG1 2'OMe effects on C. albic...

Candidiasis is a fungal infection primarily caused by Candida albicans. It affects millions of people worldwide and poses significant clinical challenges, resulting in high morbidity and mortality rates, largely due to increasing resistance to conventional antifungal therapies resulting from their widespread use [1]. Innovative therapies, such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), are being explored to address ...

An Uncommon Cause of Back Pain in an Adolescent Patient

Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis in Adolescents by 2017 McDonald Criteria: Two Case...

Although multiple sclerosis’ (MS) diagnosis is usually made in adulthood, clinical presentation before the age of 18 occurs in up to 10% of the individuals. McDonald’s criteria applicability in diagnosing MS in adolescents is already established with the 2010 revision. The first clinical case we present is an adolescent with a family history of MS and a right retrobulbar optic neuritis’ presentation. Magnetic r...

A meta-analysis on the role of sonication in the diagnosis of cardiac implantab...

One of the biggest obstacles in diagnosing Implant-Associated Infections is the lack of infection criteria and standardized diagnostic methods. These infections present a wide range of symptoms, and their diagnosis can be hampered by the formation of microbial biofilms on the surface of implants. This study aimed to provide insight into the performance of sonication in the diagnosis of infections associated wit...

Avaliação do potencial de sobrenadantes livres de células (SLC) contra agentes ...

Os agentes patogénicos de origem alimentar são um problema recorrente de saúde pública, causando surtos frequentes que podem ter consequências drásticas. De modo a combater estes microrganismos, diversas medidas são habitualmente aplicadas, nomeadamente o uso de antibióticos e desinfetantes. No entanto, o uso excessivo destas substâncias pode levar ao desenvolvimento de resistência ou tolerância por parte dos m...

The role of flagellum and flagellum-based motility on Salmonella enteritidis an...

Flagellum-mediated motility has been suggested to contribute to virulence by allowing bacteria to colonize and spread to new surfaces. In Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli species, mutants affected by their flagellar motility have shown a reduced ability to form biofilms. While it is known that some species might act as co-aggregation factors for bacterial adhesion, studies of food-related biofilms have ...
