Exploring the evolution of <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> resistance during the COVID-19 era by Emine Sehmen (22457614)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The average age of the patients was 61.3 ± 21.9 years (range: 18–95), with a majority of 1306 (51.6%) being male. During the pandemic, <i>A. baumannii</i> isolates showed a significant increase in resistance rates for several antibiotics compared to the pre-pandemic period: imipenem (96% vs 35.1%), amikacin (84.1% vs 14.4%), ciprofloxacin (96.9% vs 36.9%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (66.4% vs 27%), and ceftazidime (96.5% vs 33.3%) (all with <i>P</i>< .001). …”

The impact of different acidic conditions and food substrates on <i>Listeria </i><i>monocytogenes</i> biofilms development and removal using nanoencapsulated carvacrol by Jina Yammine (17317048)

“…In food substrates, nanoencapsulated carvacrol induced lower log reductions (1.58–2.90) than the ones in TSB (2.02–3.61). These findings provide valuable insights into the impact of different acidic conditions on the development of <i>L. monocytogenes</i> biofilms on stainless steel surfaces and the potential application of nanoencapsulated carvacrol as a biofilm control agent in food processing environments.…”

Deletion of <i>RFX6</i> impairs iPSC-derived islet organoid development and survival, with no impact on PDX1⁺/NKX6.1⁺ progenitors by Noura Aldous (15429873)

“…Single-cell analysis revealed high RFX6 expression levels in endocrine clusters across various hESC-derived pancreatic differentiation stages. Upon differentiating iPSCs lacking RFX6 into pancreatic islets, a significant decrease in PDX1 expression at the PF stage was observed, although this did not affect PPs co-expressing PDX1 and NKX6.1. …”
