Article Abstract
A total of 30.1 Mb of publicly available DNA sequence in Aspergillus niculans was researched for mono- to hexanucleotide variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) to determine its type, size and frequency. A total of 4 837 VNTRs were observed in whole genomic DNA sequence with criteria of VNTR length > 15 bp and 80% matches. Considering all six classes of VNTRs, they occur on average about once every 6.2 kb for mono- to hexanucleotide in genomic DNA. The most abundance variable-number tandem repeat is pentanucleotide repeats; the number was 1 386, followed by hexanucleotide and trinucleotide repeats, the number was 1 228 and 1 199 respectively. The least abundance is dinucleotide repeat, only 144 tracts.

Many species from the genus are causative agents of the bacterial zoonosis brucellosis. Until recently, it was generally believed that these bacteria exhibit strict host specificity; however, recent findings suggest otherwise. is an atypical species, no threat to humans, with a broad host spectrum, primarily found in wildlife and rodents, and is the only species isolated from soil, aquatic environments, and frogs, suggesting its environmental persistence and adaptability to diverse ecological niches.

This systematic review, conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, provides a comprehensive synthesis of epidemiological data on Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, in humans and animals worldwide. A total of 1321 publications were identified, of which 166 met the inclusion criteria. Q fever, first described in 1937 in Australian abattoir workers, remains a globally distributed zoonosis, with domestic ruminants (sheep, goats, cattle) serving as the primary reservoirs and sources of human infection.

A strain isolated from the blood of a patient in Zhejiang Province, China, was analysed using whole-genome sequencing and tested for antimicrobial resistance. The isolated strain was identified as serotype 2, and classified to ST25 on multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The minimum core genome group of the strain was identified as Group 4, and multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) assigned it as type 2, 4.

A post-COVID surge of was observed globally. China has reported a high level of macrolide-resistant (MRBP) in recent years; however, the epidemiology of MRBP in Hong Kong remains unknown. We retrieved archived isolates from respiratory samples collected at five regional public hospitals in Hong Kong between 2015 and 2024 and tested their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for macrolides and other non-macrolide antibiotics using the Etest method.

: Impulsivity is a key psychological construct implicated in the onset and maintenance of behavioural addictions. Dysregulation of impulsivity is central to behavioural addictions, yet its genetic basis remains unclear. This study examined the association between the variable number tandem repeat polymorphism and impulsivity in individuals with behavioural addictions.
