  3. Norovirus Gastroenteritis among Hospitalized Patients, Germany, 2007–2012

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • We estimated numbers of hospitalizations for norovirus gastroenteritis (NGE) and associated medical costs in Germany, where norovirus testing is high because reimbursement is affected. We extracted aggregate data for patients hospitalized with a primary or secondary code from the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10), NGE diagnosis during 2007–2012 from the German Federal Statistics Office.

  22. [ASAP] Acrylamide Defects the Expression Pattern of the Circadian Clock and Mitochondrial Dynamics in C57BL/6J Mice Liver and HepG2 Cells

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Circadian rhythm helps organisms adapt to their environment and control a variety of physiological and metabolic processes. Acrylamide is a toxic compound that can be produced during food processing. The aim of this research is to investigate whether the circadian clock is involved in the toxicity mechanisms of acrylamide in mice liver.

  23. Characteristics of cephalosporin-resistant Salmonella isolates from poultry in Korea, 2010–2017

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTCephalosporins are the key drugs for the treatment of salmonellosis. Resistance to cephalosporins in Salmonella spp. has become a serious public health concern worldwide. Although the sales of cephalosporins have increased by five times from 2008 to 2016 in Korea, limited information is available on cephalosporin resistance in Korea.

  25. Enterotoxigenic E. coli virulence gene regulation in human infections [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a global diarrheal pathogen that utilizes adhesins and secreted enterotoxins to cause disease in mammalian hosts. Decades of research on virulence factor regulation in ETEC has revealed a variety of environmental factors that influence gene expression, including bile, pH, bicarbonate, osmolarity, and glucose. However, other...
