Serious Bacterial Infections in Hospitalized Neonates in Eastern Ethiopia: Investigating the Emerging Pathogen Pantoea dispersa Compared With Klebsiella pneumoniae

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Serious bacterial infections (SBIs) are major contributors to neonatal morbidity and mortality in low‐income countries. We describe the aetiology and risk factors for neonatal bacteraemia and in‐hospital mortality in eastern Ethiopia, focusing on Pantoea dispersa, a rarely studied pathogen, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Characterization of the Human Blood Group Glycosyltransferases GTA and GTB for the Synthesis of Blood Group Antigens

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, Volume 368, Issue 8, 15 April 2026.
This study presents the highly efficient heterologous production of the human blood group glycosyltransferases GTA/R176A and GTB, along with their comprehensive biochemical and kinetic characterization. Tailored enzyme cascades, involving the bacterial fucosyltransferase FutC and GTA or GTB, generate milligram quantities of various blood group ABH ...

Multienzyme Platform for the Synthesis of UDP Sugars and Human Milk Oligosaccharides

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
Engineered Escherichia coli produces six enzymes (UMPK, PPK3, GALK, NAHK, GALU, PPA) that are purified and used in a cell‐free cascade to synthesize UDP‐N‐acetylglucosamine (UDP‐GlcNAc) and UDP‐galactose (UDP‐Gal) from inexpensive substrates. The cascades can be coupled with glycosyltransferases for in situ nucleotide sugar regeneration, enabling ...
