Carbapenem resistance and Acinetobacter baumannii in Senegal: the paradigm of a common phenomenon in natural reservoirs.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Incidence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is rising in several parts of the world. In Africa, data concerning this species and its resistance to carbapenems are limited. The objective of the present study was to identify the presence of A.

Phylogenetic relationship between the endosymbiont “Candidatus Riesia pediculicola” and its human louse host

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background The human louse (Pediculus humanus) is a haematophagous ectoparasite that is intimately related to its host. It has been of great public health concern throughout human history.

Human Lice in Paleoentomology and Paleomicrobiology

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACTLice are a classic example of cospeciation. Human lice confirm this cospeciation with lice specialized in hominids which differ from those of gorillas and chimpanzees. Head lice and body lice seem to belong to closely related species with different ecotypes and a different geographical distribution which may reflect population movements.

Molecular and genomic advances in breast cancer: A comprehensive review of predictive and therapeutic innovations

Precision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
Breast cancer subtypes, estrogen receptor‐positive (ER+), HER2‐enriched, and TNBC, are defined by genomic and epigenetic signatures. Multi‐omics profiling, immunotherapy, liquid biopsy, and AI‐driven radiogenomics enable precision medicine. Tools like Oncotype DX and PAM50 support personalized care.
