A Cas12a Toolbox for Rapid and Flexible Group B Streptococcus Genomic Editing and CRISPRi

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
We developed a resource set and protocols that allow researchers to quickly alter or silence genes in Group B Streptococcus. Using flexible plasmids and a drug‐inducible Cas12a system, the approach enables efficient generation of insertions, deletions, or knockdowns. These tools are publicly available.

Modelling vector and host distributions to inform potential disease risk: A case study of West Nile virus in the United Kingdom

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Correlative modelling approaches can be used successfully to predict the distribution of vectors and hosts involved in vector‐borne diseases of concern. For West Nile virus in the United Kingdom, host distributions are unlikely to be a significant factor influencing change. Vector distributions and urbanisation will drive increasing risk. Projecting to

Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) overlooked: A retrospective review of missed opportunities to diagnose CVI

Ophthalmic and Physiological Optics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) is the leading cause of paediatric visual impairment in developed countries. Earlier diagnosis provides access to early intervention, which may improve visual function, functional vision and developmental outcomes.

Minimizing Atrioesophageal Fistula Risk After AF Ablation: Risk Factors, Prevention, and Emerging Mini‐Thermal Technology

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atrial esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but life‐threatening complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, linked to thermal injuries by conventional radiofrequency (RF) and cryo‐balloon (CB) ablation techniques. AEF risk can be mitigated by considering several measures such as tailored power settings of ablation technique, mechanical ...

Photodynamic inactivation increases cell death rate on persistent Staphylococcus aureus

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Persistent bacteria have the ability to survive extended periods of antibiotic stress by entering a metabolically dormant state. This study investigated persistence formation in two S. aureus strains and evaluated the effects of PDI using curcumin. Post‐PDI time‐kill assays conducted after metabolic recovery showed a higher rate of bacterial death ...
