Abstract Background The epidemiology of colonization with ESCrE in the community low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is largely uncharacterized. In community, household particular importance as it setting which individuals spend a majority their time. Identifying risk factors for critical to inform antibiotic resistance reduction strategies LMICs. Methods Participants were enrolled from 1/1/20-9/4/20, pause 4/2/20-5/21/20 due country-wide COVID lockdown. This study was conducted 6...
Prior exposure to a pathogen can greatly influence the outcome of secondary infection, and although invertebrates lack classically defined adaptive immunity, their immune response is still influenced by prior challenges. While strength specificity such priming depends highly on host organism infecting microbe, chronic bacterial infection fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster with species isolated from wild-caught flies provides broad nonspecific protection against later infection. To determine...
