Assessment of Oxidative Stress, Vitellogenin, and Human Health Risks Derived From Nile Tilapia Exposed to Metals and Metalloids in Southeastern Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urban coastal lagoons are highly vulnerable ecosystems increasingly affected by metal contamination, as well as multiple anthropogenic stressors. This study evaluated ecotoxicological and human health risks associated with chronic metal exposure in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from an anthropogenically impacted lagoon in southeastern ...

Survival of Fecal Coliforms in Frozen Vegetable Homogenates

Journal of Food Protection, 1982
The resistance to freezing of fecal coliforms isolated from frozen vegetables was compared to that of Escherichia coli isolated from fecal sources. The objective was to see if lower resistance to freezing might explain frozen vegetable samples that contain fecal coliforms but not E. coli .

Carriage of antimicrobial‐resistant E. coli in urban stray cats (Felis catus)

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli is a growing concern in both human and veterinary medicine, driven by the inappropriate use of antimicrobials. Companion animals may act as community reservoirs and sentinels for antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria due to their close contact with humans and other animals.

A retrospective analysis of bacterial pathogens in wounds in an equine hospital (2017–2022)

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Bacterial infections are a major cause of morbidity in horses, particularly in soft tissue wounds (STW) and surgical site infections (SSI). Rising antimicrobial resistance poses challenges for timely treatment. Knowledge of common pathogens and their resistance patterns is therefore essential.
