Background Klebsiella species, including the notable pathogen K. pneumoniae, are increasingly associated with antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Genome-based surveillance can inform interventions aimed at controlling AMR. However, its widespread implementation requires tools to streamline bioinformatic analyses and public health reporting. Methods We developed the web application Pathogenwatch, which implements analytics tailored...

En esta tecnología se explican los conceptos básicos a considerar al momento de iniciar una producción de miel de abejas. Es muy importante conocer conceptos básicos de la apicultura antes de iniciar una explotación, ya que mediante la implementación de estas buenas prácticas se pueden obtener los productos deseados en...

Background Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is an emerging public health problem. This study explores the specifics of CRKP epidemiology in Colombia based on whole genome sequencing (WGS) of the National Reference Laboratory at Instituto Nacional de Salud (INS)’s 2013-2017 sample collection. Methods A total of 425 CRKP isolates from 21...

Small farmers participation in research processes associated with agricultural production systems has been a task difficult to achieve. For this reason, the purpose of this research was to link small cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) producers to the research processes in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Therefore, field tests were experimented...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is considered a global threat, and novel drug discovery needs to be complemented with systematic and standardized epidemiological surveillance. Surveillance data are currently generated using phenotypic characterization. However, due to poor scalability, this approach does little for true epidemiological investigations. There is a strong case for whole-genome...

Food Systems Summit Dialogues: A powerful opportunity to engage meaningfully, explore collectively and emerge resiliently for sustainable food systems. Anyone can be a part of shaping the change – help the world hear all voices of food systems – convene a Dialogue today! Food Systems Summit Dialogues are convened by national governments and individuals from across all of society. To create...

Cocoa beans produced in the municipality of Tumaco (Colombia) are very attractive for chocolate producers and consumers because of their fine and aromatic characteristics. However, optimal plant spacing that could improve income for cocoa farmers is uncertain.To address the problem, this study was carried out from 2016 to 2017 taking...

Summary The Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are essential to determine the genetic bases of either ecological or economic phenotypic variation across individuals within populations of the model and non-model organisms. For this research question, the GWAS replication testing different parameters and models to validate the results’ reproducibility is common. However,...

Physiological processes of plants infected by vascular pathogens are mainly affected by vascular bundle obstruction, decreasing the absorption of water and nutrients and gas exchange by stomatal closure, and inducing oxidative cascades and PSII alterations. Chitosan, a derivative of chitin present in the cell wall of some organisms including fungi,...

The bug Cynodonmiris corpoicanus inhabit the Cundiboyacense High Plateau in Colombia feeding on grasses (Poaceae). The authors carry out their life cycle in greenhouse and characterize the damage on oat (Avena sativa) leaves. The duration egg – adult last 49.3 days and undergo five nymphal stages. The morphometric study was...

Background: Diseases transmitted by invasive Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are major public health issues in the tropics and subtropics. Understanding the ecology of mosquito vectors is essential for the development of effective disease mitigation programs and will allow for accurate predictions of vector occurrence and abundance. Studies that...

The rumen soluble Cu and Zn can affect the rumen microbial populations. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of trace mineral sources (Cu and Zn) in the supplement of grazing steers on ruminal bacteria diversity. Eight rumen cannulated Nellore steers (541 kg ± 18 kg BW) were distributed in...

Encuentre en esta cartilla las estrategias y prácticas que han utilizado nueve experiencias en Colombia en el camino de la transición agroecológica, desde una mirada multidimensional de la agroecología.  Las experiencias corresponden a: la Asociación de Productores Orgánicos La Tulpa, Asociación de Productores Indígenas de San Antonio de Palmito-ASPROINPAL, Granja Agroecológica Pura Vida,...

The initiative takes place in the central part of the Brazilian semi-arid region. Due to climatic irregularities, this region has a high risk of losses of rainfall-dependent crops, with low and poorly distributed rainfall over time and space. Soil conditions are also varied; most are shallow and contain little organic...

La fuerza de corte del músculo del lomo de bovinos cruzados con criollo es menor que la de bovinos Cebú (C); sin embargo, no se conocen en su totalidad las diferencias en la calidad sensorial y su composición nutricional. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el color sensorial, la palatabilidad y la composición nutricional del músculo del lomo de bovinos C y sus...
