Biological invasions are an important threat to biodiversity especially in aquatic ecosystems, and their frequency is generally higher near urban areas. Potentially invasive non-indigenous molluscs were deliberately introduced into European waters for food (Corbicula fluminea) biocontrol (Melanoides tuberculata), unintentionally by ballast water (Mytilopsis leucophaeata, Corbicula fluminea), stock contamination (Sinanodonta woodiana), accidental escapes from aquaculture aquarium trade...
Background/Objectives: Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR)bacteria pose a significant public health threat worsening patient outcomes, contributing to hospital outbreaks, and increasing economic burdens. Advanced genomic tools enhance the detection of resistance genes, virulence factors, high-risk clones, thus improving management MDR infections. In Autonomous Community Aragon, diversity incidence carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) have increased during last years....
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most prevalent bacteria in skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). Multidrug-resistant strains emergence, particularly methicillin-resistant S. (MRSA), highlights need for alternative treatments. This study investigates antimi-crobial properties olive leaf extract (OLE) defines profile patient with SSTI who may benefit from it. OLE was tested two reference strains, methicillin-sensitive (MSSA) ATCC 29213 MRSA 700699, 126 clinical isolates patients SSTIs....
Different environmental factors could induce epigenetic changes, which are likely involved in the biological invasion process. Some of these driven by humans as, for example, pollution and deliberate or accidental introductions others due to natural conditions such as salinity. In this study, we have analysed relationship between different stress factors: time new location, salinity with methylation changes that be invasive species tolerance environments. For purpose, two mussels' species,...
Background Salmonids are native from the North Hemisphere but have been introduced for aquaculture and sport fishing in South inhabit most rivers lakes temperate cold regions worldwide. Five species included Global Invasive Species Database: rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss , Atlantic salmon Salmo salar brown trutta brook Salvelinus fontinalis lake namaycush . In contrast, other salmonids endangered their settings. Methods Here we developed a method to identify salmonid directly water...
Potamopyrgus antipodarum (New Zealand mud snail) is a prosobranch mollusk native to New with wide invasive distribution range. Its non-indigenous populations are reported from Australia, Asia, Europe and North America. Being an extremely tolerant species, capable survive in great range of salinity temperature conditions, which explains its high invasiveness successful spread outside the Here we report first finding basin Cantabrian corridor Iberia (Bay Biscay, Spain). Two haplotypes already...
European countries have included healthcare workers (HCWs) among priority groups for COVID-19 vaccination. We established a multi-country hospital network to measure the SARS-CoV-2 incidence and effectiveness of vaccines HCWs against laboratory-confirmed infection.
Background Many fish species have been introduced in wild ecosystems around the world to provide food or leisure, deliberately from farm escapes. Some of those introductions had large ecological effects. The north American native rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) is one most widely farmed world. It was first Spain late 19th century for sport fishing (Elvira 1995) and nowadays used there both aquaculture. On other hand, European brown Salmo trutta L.) catalogued as vulnerable...
Abstract Biological invasions are a global threat to biodiversity, and many arise from deliberate introductions. The American freshwater fish Micropterus salmoides Ameiurus spp. ( melas nebulosus ) were introduced Europe for recreational fishing, Gambusia holbrooki affinis mosquito population control, Lepomis gibbosus was as an ornamental species. Asiatic Pseudorasbora parva acquired inadvertently accompanying species in consignments. This article presents novel approach detecting these...
Marine biological invasions threaten global biodiversity nowadays. In this article, we have studied fouling communities from 10 port areas of south Bay Biscay (Atlantic Ocean) and Gulf Lion (Mediterranean Sea). A total 834 individuals were genetically barcoded corresponded to 95 different species. 76 native species 8 genera 1 family identified, 58 the 23 Lion. Furthermore, 19 identified as non-indigenous or cryptogenic (18 4 Lion). We found a high proportion Antipode (NIS) that represented...
In an increasingly globalized and interconnected world, the outbreak of infectious disease in one country can become a worrying health emergency for whole world. A current example is 2022 monkeypox virus (mpox) affecting multiple areas across this context, strategies to interrupt transmission as soon possible by identifying cases, clusters, sources infection should be developed around world prevent these crises. The aim retrospective collaborative study was perform external clinical...
The capacity of Mycoplasma genitalium to develop resistance macrolides makes detection macrolide genes by rapid real-time PCR assays increasingly necessary in clinical diagnostic laboratories so as initiate appropriate treatment rapidly possible. aim this retrospective and comparative study was conduct the evaluation three commercially available kits for detection. A total 111 M. positive samples analyzed Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Miguel Servet University Hospital, Zaragoza (Spain)...
The social value of natural aquatic ecosystems is very important to set management priorities. River connectivity essential for the conservation freshwater because barriers alter both abiotic conditions and biotic communities, compromising biodiversity; however, appreciation this river feature has been insufficiently considered in socio-environmental studies that are mainly focused on acceptance new dams. Here we used a willingness pay approach estimate connectivity, native species, fish...
In the frame of I-MOVE-COVID-19 project, a cohort 2050 patients admitted in two Spanish reference hospitals between March 2020 and December 2021 was selected range clinical factor data were collected at admission to assess their impact on risk COVID-19 severity outcomes through multivariate adjusted analysis nomograms. The need for ventilation intensive care unit (ICU) found be directly associated with higher death (OR 6.9 3.2, respectively). predictors ICU, advanced age, neuromuscular...

COVID-19 vaccination recommendations include healthcare workers (HCWs). We measured vaccine effectiveness (CVE) of the autumn 2023 dose against laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in a prospective cohort study 1,305 HCWs from 13 European hospitals. Overall CVE was 22% (95% CI: −17 to 48), 49% −8 76) before and −11% −84 34) after start BA.2.86/JN.1 predominant circulation. Autumn led moderate-to-low reduction incidence HCWs. Monitoring is crucial for prevention.
