TL;DR: In patients with resectable colorectal cancers, higher amounts of preoperative circulating tumor DNA were associated with disease recurrence and decreased overall survival, and a method developed by Phallen et al., called targeted error correction sequencing, demonstrates the feasibility of detecting circulating cell-free DNA from many early tumors, suggesting its potential use for cancer screening.

TL;DR: Campylobacter (C.) jejuni and C. coli are the two species which are most important in food-borne infections of humans, which infect an estimated 1% of the population of Western Europe each year as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Differences in the occurrence of resistance and tetracycline resistance genes were observed among isolates from the different sources, however, similar resistance patterns and resistant genes were detected frequently indicating that transmission of resistant enterococci or resistance genes takes place between humans, broilers, and pigs.

TL;DR: The similar findings in the two studies provide evidence in favour of a causal association between the use of avoparcin and the occurrence of VREF on farms, and suggest that food animals constitute a potential reservoir of infection for VREF in humans.

TL;DR: Salmonella control programs of broiler chickens, layer hens, and pigs in Denmark are described and are applicable to most industrialized countries with modern intensive farming systems.
