ABSTRACT Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) has become a global threat due to the convergence of carbapenem resistance and hypervirulence. Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) play important roles in bacterial pathogenicity, yet their functional coordination with strains remains unclear.

Characterization of an emergent clone of enteroinvasive Escherichia coli circulating in Europe [PDF]
Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) cause intestinal illness indistinguishable from that caused by Shigella, mainly in developing countries. Recently an upsurge of cases of EIEC infections has been observed in Europe, with two large outbreaks ...

Antibiotic resistance is linked to carriage of papC and iutA virulence genes and phylogenetic group D background in commensal and uropathogenic Escherichia coli from infants and young children [PDF]
P fimbriae, enabling adherence to colonic and urinary epithelium, and aerobactin, an iron sequestering system, are both colonization factors in the human colon and virulence factors for urinary tract infection. The colonic microbiota is suggested to be a site suitable for the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes.

Retail meat–derived E. coli frequently harbored multidrug‑resistance phenotypes, diverse virulence determinants, and plasmid‑encoded resistance genes with high conjugative potential. Results indicate meat and poultry as underrecognized reservoirs facilitating dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and pathogenic lineages, with imported products ...

Vaccination approaches for the prevention of urinary tract infection [PDF]
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common infectious diseases of humans, with approximately 150 million cases estimated to occur globally every year. UTIs usually start as a bladder infection (cystitis), but can develop into acute kidney

Mosses (Bryophyta) are well-established biomonitors of atmospheric deposition, including persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and microplastics (MPs). Using German Moss Survey 2020 data, this study identified factors influencing POPs and MPs in mosses ...

Identification of microplastics in wastewater after cascade filtration using Pyrolysis-GC–MS
The combination of a representative microplastic sampling method and a fast-quantitative analysis using Pyrolysis-GC–MS (Py-GC–MS) for investigation of the microplastic load and mass balances is presented in this work.

Abstract Background Neonates with hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) may require exchange transfusions (ET) for severe hyperbilirubinemia. We evaluated if ET in neonates with HDFN was associated with the maximum maternal titer and antibody‐dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and we determined the change in the number of hospitals ...

Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli sequence type 131 H30-R and H30-Rx subclones in retail chicken meat, Italy [PDF]
Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131), typically fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQ-R) and/or extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing, has emerged globally.
