Genomic determinants of penicillin G susceptibility and cefazolin inoculum effect in methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream isolates.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to describe penicillin G susceptibility, blaZ diversity, and genetic determinants of the cefazolin inoculum effect (CfzIE) among MSSA bloodstream isolates. METHODS: The first three non-duplicate MSSA isolates recovered each month from blood cultures a...

Inferring the perennial biomass and phytoremediation potential of thirty-one woody species from large phytomanagement field trials

Growing woody biomass on trace element-contaminated marginal lands is a promising phytomanagement strategy, provided that species combine high productivity with appropriate contaminant accumulation profiles. In this study, we evaluated the five-year field performance and phytoman...

Photovoltaic panels affect arthropod and plant communities: a systematic review

Due to climate change, photovoltaic facilities are being rapidly scaled up. However, such a development can come at a cost for biodiversity. We conducted a systematic review, including a critical appraisal, and meta-analyses to better understand the effects of photovoltaic panels...

From fluid loss to calcification: MRI and CT matrix features in cystic echinococcosis

Abstract Objective To characterize MRI matrix signal and CT calcification patterns across WHO-IWGE stages, compare them with lesion mimicking cystic echinococcosis (CE), and derive an MRI-based subclassification for inactive cysts. Materials and methods This retrospective multice...

Influence of spatial connectivity on the spread of Mpox in Maï-Ndombe province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2025

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold> The spread of Mpox in the DRC is strongly influenced by human mobility in a context of environmental constraints and inequalities in accessibility. The province of Maï-Ndombe, with its fragmented transport network and dependence on...

Population turnover and food-web reorganization sustain acetoclastic methanogenesis at 45 °C in tropical paddy soil

Moderately thermophilic temperatures (45 °C) are widely expected to suppress acetoclastic methanogenesis in paddy soils because thermodynamic constraints favor syntrophic acetate oxidation coupled with hydrogenotrophic pathways. However, tropical paddy soils often deviate from th...

Nanotechnology-Enabled Remediation of Contaminated Soils: Mechanisms, Soil Constraints, Environmental Risks, and Implications for Sustainable Land Management

Engineered nanomaterials have been increasingly proposed for the treatment of contaminated soils. Nevertheless, most available evidence has been obtained in water, artificial substrates or short-term laboratory experiments, and performance in real soil is substantially more varia...
