Uropathogenic Escherichia coli in a Diabetic Dog with Recurrent UTIs: Genomic I...

Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) pose a significant clinical challenge in both human and veterinary medicine, due to antibiotic-resistant and biofilm-forming bacteria. We hypothesized that high glucose levels in diabetic animals enhance biofilm formation and reduce antibiotic efficacy, promoting infection persistence. This study analyzed Escherichia coli from a diabetic female Labrador Retriever with r...

A contribution of shortest paths algorithms to the networkX python library

NetworkX is a free Python library for graphs and networks and is used in many applications and projects to find the shortest path in path planning scenarios. For dense graphs, the library provides the Floyd–Warshall algorithm for shortest paths and the A* (“A-Star”) algorithm for shortest paths and path lengths. However, several extensions have been proposed to improve the A*, but they are not included in the l...
