Recently, they have also been found in non-hospital environments, such as poultry farms. While most studies in Ethiopia have focused on these bacteria's antibiotic resistance patterns in hospitals, information regarding their prevalence and resistance in veterinary settings, particularly poultry farms, is limited.

Species of the isolates were identified via routine biochemical tests, including oxidase, catalase, urease, Simon's citrate, sulfide indole motility medium, triple sugar iron agar and growth at temperatures of 37 °C and 42 °C. The Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion technique was used for antibiotic susceptibility testing.

The detection rates of perchlorate and chlorate in infant formulas were 46.0% and 98.7%, with mean contents of 9.98 μg/kg and 112.01 μg/kg, and the maximum values of 151.00 μg/kg and 1475.00 μg/kg, respectively.

In this paper, we explore the potential values of some of the Mayan fruit trees justifying conservation efforts in their native habitats.

Our review rendered two sets of articles including those focusing on the nutritional and medicinal properties of NUS and their products, and those focusing on their uses in traditional medicine. Both sets of papers strongly support arguments for conservation of NUS. Additionally, our scoping review expands and includes a case study on the conservation of NUS, highlighting the critical role of civil society on how it can spearhead rescue efforts of botanical resources through the creation of what is possibly the first arboretum of its kind in the Americas. Among the project's key selling points was not only the rescue of an important component of Yucatan's cultural heritage but its nutritional value as well as its potential medicinal properties.
