Article ID: 718824 Antibiotic Resistance Surges in Dolphins, Mirroring HumansFlorida Atlantic UniversityScientists obtained a total of 733 pathogen isolates from 171 individual wild Bottlenose dolphins in Florida and found that the overall prevalence of resistance to at least one antibiotic for the 733 isolates was 88.2 percent. Resistance was highest to erythromycin, followed by ampicillin. It is likely that these isolates from dolphins originated from a source where antibiotics are regularly used, potentially entering the marine environment through human activities or discharges from terrestrial sources.

 Article ID: 718980 How IL-6 allows the immune response to develop for a key cell, the T follicular helperUniversity of Alabama at BirminghamA preclinical study published in Science Immunology shows how the interplay of two interleukin signaling proteins, IL-6 and IL-2, affects the development of T follicular helper cells and germinal centers. Thus, the research may help guide future disease treatment for autoimmune diseases like lupus. Released:13-Sep-2019 3:05 PM EDTResearch Results
