Type I-F CRISPR-Cas Distribution and Array Dynamics in Legionella pneumophila

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
In bacteria and archaea, several distinct types of CRISPR-Cas systems provide adaptive immunity through broadly similar mechanisms: short nucleic acid sequences derived from foreign DNA, known as spacers, engage in complementary base pairing with ...

Mass‐Produced and High‐Performance Nanowell Biosensor Fabricated via Semiconductor Manufacturing for Rapid and Accurate COVID‐19 Diagnosis in the Clinical Field

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A semiconductor‐fabricated nanowell biosensor enables rapid, scalable, and highly reproducible detection of SARS‐CoV‐2 antigens from nasal swabs within ∼10 minutes. Clinical validation in 249 retrospective and 243 prospective patient samples demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity, minimal cross‐reactivity, and robust batch‐to‐batch ...

A large‐scale single‐cell transcriptomic atlas indicates the immune panorama of influenza A infection

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
The study presents a large‐scale single‐cell transcriptomic atlas profiling over 612,010 peripheral immune cells from 97 individuals to decode the heterogeneity of influenza infection. These findings indicate a fundamental immune dichotomy determining clinical trajectories: a protective, monocyte‐centric antiviral state in mild disease versus a ...

Streamlining antibiotic use in community acquired pneumonia: A quality improvement initiative

open access: yesJournal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence suggests a 3‐day total duration and early transition to oral therapy is safe in hospitalized patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP)—though such care is not standard in the United States. To implement these evidence‐based practices, a multidisciplinary group led by a hospitalist and antimicrobial stewardship ...

Toward understanding the catalytic mechanism for two classes of bacterial phospholipid N‐methyltransferases

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phospholipid N‐methyltransferases (Pmts) synthesize phosphatidylcholine in many bacteria. In this study, we compared the catalytic mechanisms of two bacterial Pmt classes: the Rhodobacter (R‐) and the Sinorhizobium (S‐) type. Representative enzymes for each class were derived from Rubellimicrobium thermophilum and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

Parenteral iron—Does it increase infection risk?

open access: yesVox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are prevalent conditions impacting various patient populations, both surgical and non‐surgical conditions. The advent of patient blood management (PBM) has promoted intravenous (IV) iron therapy as an alternative to oral iron and blood transfusions.

Validation of a Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification-Based Kit for the Detection of Legionella pneumophila in Environmental Samples According to ISO/TS 12869:2012

open access: yesMicroorganisms
Legionella pneumophila is a freshwater opportunistic pathogen and the leading cause of severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires’ disease. It can be found in all water systems and survives in biofilms, free-living amoebae, and a wide variety of facilities ...

Sodium levels and grazing pressure shape natural communities of the intracellular pathogen Legionella

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2023
Background Legionella are parasites of freshwater protozoa, responsible for Legionellosis. Legionella can be found in a variety of aquatic environments, including rivers, lakes, and springs, as well as in engineered water systems where they can ...

Learning From Errors in Simulations: How Individual Error Responses Shape Collaborative Problem‐Solving Skills

open access: yesJournal of Computer Assisted Learning, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In collaborative problem‐solving (CPS), individual errors such as failing to share relevant information are common. These moments can hinder performance, but if learners engage with them productively, they may offer powerful learning opportunities.

Rapid Detection and Differentiation of Legionella pneumophila and Non-Legionella pneumophila Species by Using Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Combined With EuNPs-Based Lateral Flow Immunochromatography

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2022
Legionella, a waterborne pathogen, is the main cause of Legionnaires’ disease. Therefore, timely and accurate detection and differentiation of Legionella pneumophila and non-Legionella pneumophila species is crucial. In this study, we develop an easy and
