SAU1 was isolated from Tilapia () that was cultured in a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) in Bangladesh. The genome was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform and assembled using the de novo genome assembly method. The draft genome was annotated and virulence factors, antimicrobial resistance related genes, CRISPER-Cas systems, metabolic pathways, and biosynthetic gene clusters were predicted.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify the bacterial isolates from infected tilapia in an intensive cage culture farm located along the Shitalakshya River in Bangladesh.
Background: Global immunization inequities persist, reflected in the 25 million underimmunized and 18 million zero-dose children in 2021. To identify country approaches to reach underimmunized and zero-dose children, we undertook a structured synthesis of pro-equity strategies across 61 countries receiving programmatic support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
Methods: We extracted data from 174 Country Joint Appraisals and Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue reports (2016-2020).
UNICEF operates in 190 countries and territories, where it advocates for the protection of children's rights and helps meet children's basic needs to reach their full potential. Embedded implementation research (IR) is an approach to health systems strengthening in which (a) generation and use of research is led by decision-makers and implementers; (b) local context, priorities, and system complexity are taken into account; and (c) research is an integrated and systematic part of decision-making and implementation. By addressing research questions of direct relevance to programs, embedded IR increases the likelihood of evidence-informed policies and programs, with the ultimate goal of improving child health and nutrition.
