Near-drowning, a relatively common event, is often complicated by subsequent pneumonia. While endogenous and exogenous bacteria are typical pathogens, rarely fungi are as well. We report a complicated case of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in a 30-year-old man after a near-drowning event. We also review the medical literature for similar cases. All cases of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis af...

Biodiversity and economic losses resulting from invasive plant pests pathogens are increasing globally. For these impacts threats to be managed effectively, appropriate methods of surveillance, detection identification required. Botanical gardens provide a unique opportunity for biosecurity as they accommodate diverse collections exotic native species. These also often located close high-risk s...

Many bacterial species function as both commensals and pathogens; we used this dual nature to develop a high-throughput molecular epidemiological approach to identifying bacterial virulence genes. We applied our approach to Group B Streptococcus (GBS). Three representative commensal and one invasive GBS isolates were selected as tester strains from a population-based collection. We used microar...

Pinna nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758) is the largest bivalve endemic to Mediterranean. It distributed in a wide range of coastal environments, including estuaries. has recently become critically endangered species (with almost 100% mortality) along entire Spanish Mediterranean coast. This may be due coinfections caused by Haplosporidium pinnae and bacterial pathogens such as Mycobacterium spp. We exte...

Background: Streptococcus pneumoniae is recognized as one of the main pathogens inducing several invasive and non-invasive infections in children. Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate serotype distribution S. six–month–old carriers. Methods: This encompassed 600 six-month-old healthy infants whose pharyngeal swap samples were collected then cultured isolate pneumoniae. Twenty- five di...

The health and sustainability of trees are increasingly under threat from biotic abiotic sources, including rising incidences non-native invasive plant pests pathogens. island Ireland (Ireland Northern Ireland) is generally understood to have a high status, due its status because the national international regulations aimed at protecting health. To establish baseline current pest pathogen threa...

Invasive tree pathogens threaten forests worldwide, but their effects on streams are poorly understood. Nevertheless, infections that lead to changes in the characteristics of litter inputs may affect stream communities and ecosystem processes. We studied cross-ecosystem derived from Phytophthora cinnamomi, ×alni, Ophiostoma novo-ulmi infection Castanea sativa (chestnut), Alnus lusitanica (alde...

While antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues to be a major public health problem in Pakistan, data regarding trends of among pathogenic bacteria remains scarce, with few studies presenting long-term AMR. This study was therefore designed analyze AMR at national level Pakistan. We report here results comprehensive analysis resistance, pathogens isolated from blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)...
