Formation Dynamics of Honeycomb‐Like Capsules and Sponge‐Like Biofilms in Micrococcus Reveal a Novel Heavy Metal Avoidance Strategy

Global Challenges
It is unclear how Micrococcus adapts to leaf environments and why it exhibits exceptionally high heavy‐metal tolerance. Herein, we report that a Micrococcus strain isolated from camphor tree leaves forms previously undescribed sponge‐like biofilms and a ...

Renal ultrasound after first febrile urinary tract infection in hospitalized children: The ROUTINE prospective observational study protocol

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common reason for hospitalization in young children. American and Canadian guidelines recommend universal renal ultrasound after a first febrile UTI to identify genitourinary abnormalities that require further management, despite limited supporting evidence. The Renal ultrasOund after first febrile

Batch effects account for the main findings of an in utero human intestinal bacterial colonization study

Microbiome, 2021
A recent study by Rackaityte et al. reported evidence for a low level of bacterial colonization, specifically of Micrococcus luteus, in the intestine of second trimester human fetuses. We have re-analyzed their sequence data and identified a batch effect

Detecting Antibiotic Resistance in Strains of Selected Gram‐Negative Bacterial Species Using Raman Spectroscopy

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectroscopy successfully identified antibiotic‐resistant Gram‐negative strains. Resistant strains of four bacterial species were discriminated from sensitive ones with 99.1% accuracy using PLS regression. The method allows for rapid, label‐free detection of antibiotic resistance.
