Environmental determinants of recent endemism of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infections in amphibian assemblages in the absence of disease outbreaks.

TL;DR: Recent endemism of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis coincides with environmentally driven Bd prevalence fluctuations that preclude the build-up of Bd infection beyond the critical threshold for large-scale mortality and host population crashes, and suggests context dependent and species-specific host susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus chromogenes isolates from intramammary infections of dairy cows.

TL;DR: It was concluded that S. chromogenes can be identified reliably in routine mastitis bacteriology, and that the only resistance of importance is against penicillinase-susceptible penicillins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis zoospore secretions rapidly disturb intercellular junctions in frog skin.

TL;DR: B. dendrobatidis zoospores produce a complex mixture of proteins that quickly disturbs epidermal intercellular junctions leading to anoikis in the anuran skin, which supports the idea that the loss of cell contacts triggered apoptosis in the skin explants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular analysis of human, porcine, and poultry Enterococcus faecium isolates and their erm(B) genes.

TL;DR: Fifty-nine erm(B)-positive Enterococcus faecium strains isolated from pigs, broilers, and humans were typed using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), and the coding sequence of the erM(B) gene was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct growth responses to drought for oak and beech in temperate mixed forests.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the annual basal area increment of individual trees to drought severity from 1955 to 2015 and calculated growth resistance, recovery, and resilience for six contrasting drought episodes (spring, summer, or full-year drought).
