A Case of Sepsis Caused by ST80 Multidrug‐Resistant Enterococcus faecium With Concurrent Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection in a Dog

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
An 8‐year‐old dog developed acute respiratory distress that progressed to sepsis and death. Multidrug‐resistant Enterococcus faecium ST80 was isolated from the liver and kidney, while Klebsiella pneumoniae was detected in the lung by PCR. Whole‐genome sequencing showed that the ST80 isolates were genetically identical, suggesting hematogenous spread ...

Why, Immunologically, Housing‐Related Fungi and Endotoxins (and Other Chronic Pro‐Inflammatory Stressors) Risk Latent Tuberculosis Reactivation, Severe Asthma, and Translocating and Invasive Infections in Indigenous Communities in Canada

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Human Biology, Volume 38, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Type 1/M1/TH1 and type 3/M1/TH17 pro‐inflammatory switches are risks for latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) reactivation and ongoing infection transmission. This paper considers the heavy toll of reactivation risk in Indigenous communities in Canada and the chronic, everyday pro‐inflammatory stressors connected with type 3/M1/TH17 immune ...

Combination Adjuvants Enhance Recombinant Protein Vaccine Protection against Fungal Infection

open access: yesmBio, 2021
The development of effective vaccines against fungal infections requires the induction of protective, pathogen-specific cell-mediated immune responses. Here, we asked whether combination adjuvants based on delta inulin (Advax) formulated with Toll-like ...

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 346-367, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.
