The complex [Pt(CHNO)Cl(CH)], (I), was synthesized and structurally characterized by ESI mass spectrometry, IR, NMR spectroscopy, DFT calculations and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the deprotonated 8-hy-droxy-quinoline (CHNO) coordinates with the Pt atom the N and O atoms while the ethyl-ene coordinates in the η manner and in the position compared to the coordinating N atom. The crystal packing is characterized by C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π, Cl⋯π and Pt⋯π inter-actions.

A quinoline derivative 7-((2-aminoethyl)amino)-5-bromo-6-hydroxy-1-methylquinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate (QEt) containing quinoline ring, - sulfonate, -OH phenol, and amine groups was synthesized and studied luminescence properties. The aqueous solutions QEt 10µM change luminescence color from green (λ = 490 nm) to yellow (λ = 563 nm) as increasing pH and the intensity at a peak of 563 nm is linearly proportional with pH value in the range of pH = 3,0-4,0. The QEt solution can be used as a chemosensor for Cu with an LOD value at 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) is a group of harmful bacteria causing severe diarrhea in kids in developing countries, especially Vietnam, with limited understanding of their characteristics.
  • In a study of 61 isolates from infants, researchers identified 57 different strains of DEC, with the majority being enteroaggregative E. coli (54.1%) and enteropathogenic E. coli (32.8%), along with some strains of Escherichia albertii.
  • Many of these DEC strains showed genetic traits linked to antibiotic resistance, posing treatment challenges, as up to 65.6% were resistant to ciprofloxacin and 41% to ceftriaxone, indicating the need for ongoing research and

Starting from eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) three new quinoline derivatives, namely 5-bromo-7-(carboxymethoxy)-6-hydroxy-1-methylquinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate (Q2, CHBrNOS), 5-amino-7-(carboxymethoxy)-6-hydroxyquinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate (Q4, CHNOS) and 7-(carboxymethoxy)-5,6-dihydroxylquinolin-1-ium-3-sulfonate (Q6, CHNO), have been synthesized and crystallised as dihydrate. The best planes through the quinoline ring and the carboxymethoxy substituent is 6.60 (14), 7.

A loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay was developed. It was designed for recognizing Vibrio cholerae O1/O139, where atpA, rfbN, and wfbR genes were adopted. The assay specifically detected the target with sensitivities of 5-67 copies per reaction in 1 h.

In this paper, silver (Ag) nanoclusters-loaded graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) nanosheets are synthesized and their physical properties as well as photocatalytic activities are systematically investigated by different techniques. The existence of Ag atoms in the form of nanoclusters (NCs) rather than well-crystallized nanoparticles are evidenced by X-ray diffraction patterns, SEM images, and XPS spectra. The deposition of Ag nanoclusters on the surface of g-C₃N₄ nanosheets affect the crystal structure and slightly reduce the band gap energy of g-C₃N₄.

Cholera is an infectious disease of major concern in Vietnam and other Asian countries. In 2009, there was a large outbreak of cholera in northern Vietnam. To investigate relationships among isolates of the causative pathogen Vibrio cholerae in this region since 2007, we carried out a multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) of 170 isolates collected between 2007 and 2009.

During the cholera survey in Namdinh province (northern Vietnam) in July, 2010, one strain of Vibrio cholerae O139 was isolated from 7 environmental water samples positive for ctxA, toxR,VCO139 genes and named as V. cholerae O139, ND1 strain. This strain was lysogenic harbouring a genome similar to the filamentous phage fs1.

From September 2006- October 2007 hospital-based surveillance was conducted in Haiphong, Vietnam among children less than age 5 years hospitalized for diarrhoea to determine the distribution of G and P types and electropherotypes of rotavirus. Of note, the emergence of G3P[8] was identified and the strain was predominant among rotaviruses detected. More than 90% of G3P[8] electropherotyped strains shared an identical electropherotype, indicating they were of a single origin and their VP7 sequences were similar to those reported from Japan and China.

Autoagglutinable strains of Vibrio cholerae O1 (seven nonfimbriate strains and one fimbriate strain) were transformed to obtain resistance to ampicillin. Two distinct mechanisms were found in these strains. One was operating in nonfimbriate strains by reducing OmpU protein production and the other was operating in a fimbriate strain (Bgd17) by newly overproducing cpxP protein.

The genome of the filamentous phage of Vibrio cholerae fs2 was found to contain rstC and rstB1 (truncated) genes downstream of ORF500. att-fs2-dir and att-fs2-rev sequences homologous to that of att-CTXphi were found between orf500 and rstC of the fs2 genome. This prompted us to search for the integration site of fs2 in the genomes of V.
