Equine botulism. [PDF]

Equine Vet J
Abstract Botulism is a severe and often fatal disease in equine patients worldwide. Clostridium botulinum is a ubiquitous soil organism which produces a potent neurotoxin resulting in neuromuscular blockade and flaccid paralysis in affected animals. Definitive diagnosis is often impractical or impossible, leading to diagnosis and treatment based on ...

Survival of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium in Pepperoni With Reduced Salt and Sodium Nitrite Levels, and Sublethal Thermal Treatments

Journal of Food Safety, Volume 46, Issue 5, October 2026.
Reduced salt and sodium nitrite pepperoni formulations were challenged with Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium and subjected to fermentation followed by a postfermentation thermal treatment and drying. Enhanced thermal treatments improved pathogen reductions across formulations, supporting the importance of validated multihurdle ...

Pragmatic Phenotype–Electrophysiology–Genomics Integration in Pediatric Congenital Myasthenic Syndromes: Insights From 36 Patients in a Single‐Center Study in China

CNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
In 36 Chinese pediatric CMS patients, integrated phenotype, RNS, and genomic assessment revealed marked genetic heterogeneity across 17 CMS‐associated genes and frequent VUS‐related uncertainty. Genotype‐informed therapy improved MG‐ADL scores, while CHAT‐CMS identified a high‐risk subgroup for early respiratory failure and mortality.

Feasibility and Safety of Washed Microbiota Transplantation as Salvage Therapy for Refractory Non‐CDI Gut Pathogens in Critically Ill Patients

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Ten patients with definite gut infection evidence beyond CDI underwent 29 WMT infusions. 50% (5/10) of patients obtained clinical cure after WMT. 20% (2/10) of patients achieved clinical improvement and 30% (3/10) showed no response 7 days after WMT. One transient WMT‐related fever occurred (1/29, 3.45%).
