Transcriptional Landscape of a blaKPC-2 Plasmid and Response to Imipenem Exposure in Escherichia coli TOP10

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The diffusion of KPC-2 carbapenemase is closely related to the spread of Klebsiella pneumoniae of the clonal-group 258 and linked to IncFIIK plasmids. Little is known about the biology of multi-drug resistant plasmids and the reasons of their successful ...

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

Chain formation mediated by Escherichia coli immunoglobulin-binding proteins EibD and EibG depends on expression levels and localization of proteins

Scientific Reports
Escherichia coli expresses immunoglobulin-binding proteins (Eib), a subgroup of trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAA). Subtypes of Eib proteins mediate unique chain-like adherence patterns and autoaggregation.

Solar Heating Enhanced Selective Recovery of Metal Ions Through Flowing Electrodes Enabled by Hybrid Carbon Nanostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A new electrochemical system based on a microporous hybrid of carbon nanoplatelets and nanotubes to selectively capture Ni2+ from wastewater is constructed. The system temperature rises rapidly when irradiated with sunlight, which enhances the Ni2+ removal rate by 250% and the selectivity by 53%, and the energy consumption is also reduced by 51 ...

Antibiotics and phages drive region-specific diversity of OmpK36 in Klebsiella pneumoniae

mBio
The Enterobacterales outer membrane is impermeable to many antibiotics, but they can enter the cell via channel proteins, called porins. In Klebsiella pneumoniae, the porin OmpK36 is a major determinant of antibiotic resistance.

Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.

An institutional sociology perspective of the implementation of activity based costing by Spanish health care institutions [PDF]

According to institutional sociology, hospitals will respond to external environmental pressures and adopt Activity-Based-Costing (ABC). This theory overemphasizes conformity and fails to consider the advantages of organizational non-conformance.
