Survey on antimicrobial resistance patterns in Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 in Germany reveals carbapenemase-producing Vibrio cholerae in coastal waters by Nadja eBier, Keike eSchwartz, Beatriz eGuerra, Eckhard eStrauch

“…An increase in the occurrence of potentially pathogenic Vibrio species is expected for waters in Northern Europe as a consequence of global warming. In this context, a higher incidence of Vibrio infections is predicted for the future and forecasts suggest that people visiting and living at the Baltic Sea are at particular risk.This study aimed to investigate antimicrobial resistance patterns among Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio cholerae non-O1/non-O139 isolates that could pose a public health risk. …”

Can we trust CMIP5/6 future projections of European winter precipitation? by E Moreno-Chamarro, L-P Caron, P Ortega, S Loosveldt Tomas, M J Roberts

“…IPCC models project a likely increase in winter precipitation over northern Europe under a high-emission scenario. These projections, however, typically rely on relatively coarse ∼100 km resolution models that can misrepresent important processes driving precipitation, such as extratropical cyclone activity, and ocean eddies. …”

Lactase non-persistent genotype influences milk consumption and gastrointestinal symptoms in Northern Russians by Khabarova Yulia, Tornianen Suvi, Tuomisto Sari, Järvelä Irma, Karhunen Pekka, Isokoski Mauri, Mattila Kari

“…The frequency of -13910C/C genotype is known to be high among Northern Russians, exceeding the prevalence in northern Europe. In our study we tested two hypotheses: 1) subjects with lactase non-persistent genotype (-13910C/C) have more gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms associated with milk 2) subjects with lactase non-persistence avoid using milk.…”
