  2. [ASAP] On the Use of In-Source Fragmentation in Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Electrospray Ionization–High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for Pesticide Residue Analysis

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • In this work, a highly efficient pesticide residue screening and quantification method was established using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–tandem quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry based on in-source fragmentation. Over 400 pesticides were tested, among which 96 pesticides displayed in-source fragmentation.

  20. Commensal-derived metabolites govern Vibrio cholerae pathogenesis in host intestine

    • Microbiome

    • Background
      Recent evidence suggests that the commensal microbes act as a barrier against invading pathogens and enteric infections are the consequences of multi-layered interactions among commensals, pathogens, and the host intestinal tissue. However, it remains unclear how perturbations of the gut microbiota compromise host infection resistance, especially through changes at species and metabolite levels.

  21. Antibodies and Vaccines Against Botulinum Toxins: Available Measures and Novel Approaches

    • Toxins

    • Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is produced by the anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium Clostridium botulinum. As one of the most poisonous toxins known and a potential bioterrosism agent, BoNT is characterized by a complex mode of action comprising: internalization, translocation and proteolytic cleavage of a substrate, which inhibits synaptic exocytotic transmitter release at neuro-muscular nerve endings leading to peripheral neuroparalysis of the skeletal and autonomic nervous systems.

      Abstract
      Background

      Our study aimed to prospectively analyze the occurrence of colistin-resistant and extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales colonizing pigs in two farms in Portugal, and to evaluate the putative correlations with different antibiotic usages.
