An 8‐year‐old dog developed acute respiratory distress that progressed to sepsis and death. Multidrug‐resistant Enterococcus faecium ST80 was isolated from the liver and kidney, while Klebsiella pneumoniae was detected in the lung by PCR. Whole‐genome sequencing showed that the ST80 isolates were genetically identical, suggesting hematogenous spread ...

The Hemoprotein Hhy1 Promotes Heme‐Dependent Catalase Activity of Ctt1
A Schizosaccharomyces pombe strain deficient in heme (hem1Δ) and siderophore (Fc) biosynthesis, as well as high‐affinity iron (Fe) uptake (blue), was used to uncover the hemoprotein Hhy1 that promotes the heme‐dependent activity of the catalase Ctt1. In contrast, hhy1Δ cells exhibit reduced Ctt1 activity and increased sensitivity to oxidative stress ...
