Abstract

In these last years it was observed an increased frequency of human infections by Y. enterocolitica supported mostly in Europe by serotype 0:3 and 0:9, and by serotype 0:8 in U.S.A. As far as it is concerned the transmission form to man, in addition to the possible infection between men, the one from animal to man and the one consequent on water use, most important suspicions are about foods derived from infected animals or however contaminated by man (fresh or preserved or processed meat, milk and its products; the produce of sea). Y. enterocolitica was isolated from all the animals for slaughter (especially from the swine's pharynx and excrement, where pathogenic serotypes for man were isolated), this ascertainment has led the Authors to research the microorganism in foods of animal kind. It is a facultative anaerobe and this characteristic allows it to survive and multiply also in packed products kept in the refrigerator. For this reason the A.A. carry out a research of Y. enterocolitica on 484 samples of fresh meats and sausages as follows: beef (150 samples), superficial scratching of ox's skeleton (150 samples), minced meat (20 samples), sausages (164 samples). Sausages and beef were bought in some butcher's shops, the ot...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
