Bacterial Strains Isolated from Stingless Bee Workers Inhibit the Growth of Apis mellifera Pathogens
Curr Microbiol. 2024 Feb 28;81(4):106. doi: 10.1007/s00284-024-03618-8.ABSTRACTApis mellifera bees are an important resource for the local economy of various regions in Argentina and the maintenance of natural ecosystems. In recent years, different alternatives have been investigated to avoid the reduction or loss of colonies caused by pathogens and parasites such as Ascosphaera apis, Aspergillus flavus, and Paenibacillus larvae. We focused on bacterial strains isolated from the intestine of native stingless bees, to elucidate their antagonistic effect on diseases of A. mellifera colonies. For this purpose, worker bees of ...

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Viruses from Multispecies Outbreak, Argentina, August 2023
We report full-genome characterization of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b virus from an outbreak among sea lions (August 2023) in Argentina and possible spillover to fur seals and terns. Mammalian adaptation mutations in virus isolated from marine mammals and a human in Chile were detected in mammalian and avian hosts.PMID:38413243 | DOI:10.3201/eid3004.231725 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)

Digital health and the promise of equity in maternity care: A mixed methods multi-country assessment on the use of information and communication technologies in healthcare facilities in Latin America and the Caribbean
CONCLUSION: Digital health for maternity care provision relied on commonly available technology and did not necessitate highly sophisticated systems, making it a sustainable and replicable strategy. However, disparities in access to digital health remain and many facilities in rural and remote areas lacked connectivity. Use of ICTs in maternity care depended on countries' long-term commitments to achieving universal health and digital coverage.PMID:38412170 | PMC:PMC10898739 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0298902 (Source: Rural Remote Health)

Enterocytozoon bieneusi Infection after Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant in Child, Argentina
We report a case of Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection in a pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipient in Argentina. Spores were visualized in feces using Calcofluor White and modified trichrome stainings. PCR and sequencing identified E. bieneusi genotype D in fecal samples and liver samples, confirming extraintestinal dissemination of the parasite.PMID:38407164 | DOI:10.3201/eid3003.231580 (Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases)

Unsupervised machine learning models reveal predictive clinical markers of glioblastoma patient survival using white blood cell counts prior to initiating chemoradiation
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that in a subset of glioblastoma patients the incorporation of WBC count and PD-L1 expression in the brain tumor biopsy as simple biomarkers predicting glioblastoma patient survival. Moreover, machine learning models allow the distillation of complex clinical data sets to uncover novel and meaningful clinical relationships.PMID:38405202 | PMC:PMC10894654 | DOI:10.1093/noajnl/vdad140 (Source: Adv Data)

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2024 Feb;74(2). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006270.ABSTRACTFour yeast isolates collected from flowers from different ecosystems in Brazil, one from fruit of Nothofagus alpina in Argentina, three from flowers of Neltuma chilensis in Chile and one obtained from the proventriculus of a female bumblebee in Canada were demonstred, by analysis of the sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene, to represent two novel species of the genus Starmerella. These species are described here as Starmerella gilliamiae f.a, sp. nov. (CBS 16166T; Mycobank MB ...

Genomic characterization of Moraxella bovis and Moraxella bovoculi Uruguayan strains isolated from calves with infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis
Rev Argent Microbiol. 2024 Feb 24:S0325-7541(24)00004-X. doi: 10.1016/j.ram.2023.12.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInfectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK) is an ocular disease that affects bovines and has significant economic and health effects worldwide. Gram negative bacteria Moraxella bovis and Moraxella bovoculi are its main etiological agents. Antimicrobial therapy against IBK is often difficult in beef and dairy herds and, although vaccines are commercially available, their efficacy is variable and dependent on local strains. The aim of this study was to analyze for the first time the genomes of Uruguayan cl...
