High Awareness, Poor Practice: The Cholera Prevention Knowledge‐Attitude‐Practice Gap in Ada Foah, Ghana—A Cross‐Sectional Study

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cholera persists as a public health threat in Ghana, particularly in coastal communities with inadequate water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) toward cholera among residents of Ada Foah, a high‐risk coastal district in Ghana, to identify gaps and inform ...

A universal vaccine for serogroup B meningococcus [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
Meningitis and sepsis caused by serogroup B meningococcus are two severe diseases that still cause significant mortality. To date there is no universal vaccine that prevents these diseases. In this work, five antigens discovered by reverse vaccinology were expressed in a form suitable for large-scale manufacturing and formulated with adjuvants suitable

Identification of Potential Vaccine Strains of Escherichia coli Isolates From Diarrhoeic Calves

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study aimed to identify vaccine candidate Escherichia coli strains isolated from diarrheic calves. Faecal samples collected from 500 calves were analysed, and E. coli strains were isolated and characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Antibiotic resistance profiles, virulence‐associated genes and MLVA genotyping were used to select 20 ...

Recognition of a second serogroup of Legionella longbeachae [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1981
A strain of Legionella longbeachae (Tucker 1) that was isolated from the postmortem lung tissue of a pneumonia patient was serologically distinct from four other strains of L. longbeachae. The recognition of a second serogroup of L. longbeachae represents the first reported instance of serogroup diversity within a species of Legionella other than L ...

Year-Long Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Profiles of Salmonella enterica Serogroups Isolated from a Wisconsin Dairy Farm

Pathogens
Salmonella enterica infections can significantly impact the health and productivity of dairy cattle. Asymptomatic carriage of Salmonella can make it difficult to identify and monitor this pathogen across a herd.

Characterization of auto-agglutinating and non-typeable uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2019
Introduction: Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the main etiological agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Association between different serotypes and UTIs is known, however, some strains are incapable to be serotyped.

Serotyping and Seroprevalence Estimation of Pasteurellosis in Ovine and Caprine in Selected Districts of Afar Region, Ethiopia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Small ruminant pasteurellosis remains a major constraint to productivity in pastoral production systems despite routine vaccination with inactivated Pasteurella multocida biotype A. Serological analysis revealed a very high overall seroprevalence (97.61%) and the circulation of multiple serotypes, including Mannheimia haemolytica A1, A2, and A7 and P ...

Practical Guidance on Initiating and Switching Targeted Immunotherapies in Generalised Myasthenia Gravis: A German–Austrian Expert Opinion Paper

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The therapeutic landscape of generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG) has evolved substantially with the approval of targeted immunotherapies, including complement C5 inhibitors (C5‐I) and neonatal Fc receptor inhibitors (FcRn‐I). While pivotal trials have demonstrated marked efficacy in defined subgroups, real‐world experience reveals ...

Pasteurella lipoprotein E interacts with host ABCF2 to facilitate adhesion and cell apoptosis

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 447-458, August 2026.
Abstract Pasteurella multocida can cause serious diseases in many animal species and humans, yet the mechanisms of its pathogenesis remain to be elucidated. In this study, we found that the lipoprotein E (PlpE) of P. multocida contributed to bacterial adhesion to host cells.
