Antarctic soil microbiomes encode structurally conserved and phylogenetically diverse beta‐lactamases

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
An integrative metagenomic framework combining sequence, structural, and functional inference reveals a phylogenetically diverse and structurally conserved repertoire of putative beta‐lactamases across Antarctic soil microbiomes, with predominance of class A and subclass B3 enzymes and limited but detectable associations with mobile genetic elements ...

Genetic Variation in the blaZ Gene Leading to the BORSA Phenotype in Staphylococcus aureus

Antibiotics
Background/Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bacteraemia in Danish hospitals. Approximately 70% of clinical S. aureus isolates are penicillin-resistant, which is predominantly due to blaZ-mediated β-lactamase production.

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.

Genome Analysis of Corynebacterium ulcerans Isolates Chronologically Recovered From the Same Cat for Two Years: Circulation in a Cat Shelter

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans, a zoonotic pathogen, was isolated repeatedly from a cat in an in‐house group in Japan. Although the cat was cured once by antibiotic treatment, clonal isolates of the original pathogenic strain were recovered repeatedly during a 2‐year course.

The effects of far‐UVC irradiation on the presence and concentration of ESKAPEE pathogens on hospital surfaces: Study protocol for a multi‐site, double‐blinded randomized controlled trial in La Paz, Bolivia

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The protocol of a multi‐site, double‐blinded, clustered randomized controlled trial (cRCT) with a binary outcome of the presence of viable presumptive ESKAPEE pathogens on surfaces in and around hospital sinks is to be implemented in two Bolivian hospitals.

Aetiology and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Common Bacterial Infections in Hospitalised Patients: A 2019 Multisite Cross‐Sectional Survey in Jakarta, Indonesia

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To describe the aetiology and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of common bacterial infections in hospitalised patients in Jakarta, Indonesia. Methods We conducted a hospital‐wide point prevalence survey in six hospitals in 2019, capturing data from routinely ordered bacterial cultures taken before the start of antibiotic treatment.

Antibacterial Effect of the In Vitro Interaction Between Clotrimazole and Chlorhexidine Against Staphylococcus pseudintermedius With Known Resistance Patterns Isolated From Canine Pyoderma

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
The 2:1 chlorhexidine–clotrimazole combination demonstrated enhanced antibacterial activity against canine Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolates, including resistant strains. Reduced MIC values, predominantly additive interactions and absence of antagonism support its use as a promising topical strategy for canine pyoderma management.
