The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the most widespread free-living carnivore in the world. Over the years, foxes have been recognized as hosts for a number of tick-borne pathogens. However, their role as reservoirs for zoonotic ...
Background: Although the tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum is currently described as a single species, studies using genetic markers can distinguish groups of variants associated with different hosts, pathogenicity, ...
Many environmental risk factors for hepatobiliary cancers are known but whether they are associated with specific cancer types is unclear. We present here a novel approach of assessing standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) ...
Epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) is highly fatal because of the risk of resistance to therapy and recurrence. We performed whole-exome sequencing of blood and tumor tissue pairs of 50 patients with surgically resected ...
BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer is the most common pancreatic solid malignancy with an aggressive clinical course and low survival rate. There are a limited number of reliable prognostic biomarkers and a need to understand ...
Animal models are essential in understanding of the mechanisms of sepsis moreover the development and the assessment of emerging therapies. In clinically relevant porcine model, however, a significant variability in the ...
Fosfomycin (FOS) has been recently reintroduced into clinical practice, but its effectiveness against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacterales is reduced due to the emergence of FOS resistance. The copresence of ...
DNA repair pathways are essential for maintaining genome stability, and understanding the regulation of these mechanisms may help in the design of new strategies for treatments, the prevention of platinum-based chemoresistance, ...
The resistance to carbapenems is usually mediated by enzymes hydrolyzing β-lactam ring. Recently, an alternative way of the modification of the antibiotic, a β-lactone formation by OXA-48-like enzymes, in some carbapenems ...
OBJECTIVE: To explore type 1 diabetes incidence patterns during the pandemic years 2020 and 2021 in Czechia, to compare them to the trends from previous decade, and to test its association with indicators of containment ...
