Diagnosis of Vitreoretinal Aspergillosis with Transvitreal Retinochoroidal Biopsy
Diagnosing culture‐proven endophthalmitis is complicated by the insufficient yield of intraocular samples and the variety of etiologies which mimic true endophthalmitis. In cases of impending vision loss where vitreous biopsy cannot provide a definitive diagnosis, transvitreal retinochoroidal biopsy can be an effective next step.

Abstract Bacterial black spot (BBS) of mango, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri pv. mangiferaeindicae, is an emerging disease affecting mango‐producing areas in Asia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. The disease spreads primarily through wind‐driven rain and farm implements, and its host range is limited, affecting mango, cashew, and pepper ...

Very little is known about the evolution of shell pigments found in molluscs, a highly diverse, species rich, ecologically important group of animals comprised of many brightly coloured taxa. In this study, we use transcriptomics and qPCR to identify genes involved in porphyrin pigment production in two species of marine snails.

Mycobacterium arupense, Mycobacterium heraklionense, and a newly proposed species, “Mycobacterium virginiense” sp. nov., but not Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum, as species of the Mycobacterium terrae complex causing tenosynovitis and osteomyelitis [PDF]
Mycobacterium terrae complex has been recognized as a cause of tenosynovitis, with M. terrae and Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum reported as the primary etiologic pathogens. The molecular taxonomy of the M.

Abstract The utility of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) for identifying bacteria in complex mineral matrices was investigated. Baseline signals from unlabelled Bacillus subtilis and Euglena gracilis, and Bacillus subtilis labelled with SYTO 9 were obtained using two‐photon excitation at 730, 750 and 800 nm, identifying characteristic ...

An experimental model of mycobacterial infection under corneal flaps [PDF]
In order to develop a new experimental animal model of infection with Mycobacterium chelonae in keratomileusis, we conducted a double-blind prospective study on 24 adult male New Zealand rabbits. One eye of each rabbit was submitted to automatic lamellar
