Identification of 76 novel B1 metallo-β-lactamases through large-scale screening of genomic and metagenomic data

Microbiome, 2017
Background Metallo-β-lactamases are bacterial enzymes that provide resistance to carbapenems, the most potent class of antibiotics. These enzymes are commonly encoded on mobile genetic elements, which, together with their broad substrate spectrum and ...

Diversity of mucoid to non-mucoid switch among carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae

BMC Microbiology, 2020
Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of intractable hospital-acquired multidrug-resistant infections and carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CPKp) are particularly feared.

Hospital-Onset Bloodstream Infections Caused by Eight Sentinel Bacteria: A Nationwide Study in Israel, 2018–2019

Microorganisms, 2022
Nationwide studies on hospital-onset bloodstream infections (HO-BSIs) are scarce. To describe incidence, mortality and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of HO-BSI caused by eight sentinel bacteria in Israel, we used laboratory-based BSI surveillance data ...

Identification of functional and diverse circulating cancer‐associated fibroblasts in metastatic castration‐naïve prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, Volume 19, Issue 7, Page 2074-2091, July 2025.
Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) promote cancer growth, invasion (metastasis), and drug resistance. Here, we identified functional and diverse circulating CAFs (cCAFs) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). cCAFs were found in higher numbers and were functional and diverse in mPCa patients versus healthy individuals, suggesting their ...

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii carrier detection: a simple and efficient protocol

Microbiology Spectrum
Timely detection of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) carriers is essential to direct infection control measures. In this work, we aimed to develop a practical protocol to detect CRAB from screening samples. To choose a selective medium

A comparative study of circulating tumor cell isolation and enumeration technologies in lung cancer

Molecular Oncology, Volume 19, Issue 7, Page 2014-2037, July 2025.
Lung cancer cells were spiked into donor blood to evaluate the recovery rates of the following circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment technologies: CellMag™, EasySep™, RosetteSep™, Parsortix® PR1, and Parsortix® Prototype systems. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are described.
