Article Abstract
A full-length cDNA infectious clone, pKS15-01-Clone, was constructed from an emerging Senecavirus A (SVA; strain KS15-01). To explore the potential use as a viral backbone for expressing marker genes, the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-tagged reporter virus (vKS15-01-EGFP) was generated using reverse genetics. Compared to the parental virus, the pKS15-01-Clone derived virus (vKS15-01-Clone) replicated efficiently in vitro and in vivo, and induced similar levels of neutralizing antibody and cytokine responses in infected animals. In contrast, the vKS15-01-EGFP virus showed impaired growth ability and induced lower level of immune response in infected animals. Lesions on the dorsal snout and coronary bands were observed in all pigs infected by parental virus KS15-01, but not in pigs infected with vKS15-01-Clone or vKS15-01-EGFP viruses. These results demonstrated that the infectious clone and EGFP reporter virus could be used as important tools in further elucidating the SVA pathogenesis and development of control measures.

Listeria monocytogenes is a saprophytic bacterium and a foodborne pathogen of humans and animals. Little is known about its distribution and genetic diversity across different environments within the same geographical region. We conducted a large-scale longitudinal study in southeastern Spain monitoring Listeria spp.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), an Arteriviridae family enveloped RNA virus, is a major swine pathogen. Using yeast transformation-associated recombination (TAR) cloning, we efficiently generated infectious PRRSV and GFP-expressing clones, identifying transcription-regulating sequences as essential for stable foreign gene expression. Screening SARS-CoV-2 antivirals showed potent inhibition by the multitarget drug ribavirin, the polymerase inhibitors remdesivir and its metabolite GS-441524.

Raccoon dog parvovirus (RDPV) is a highly contagious pathogen causing severe hemorrhagic enteritis that is fatal in young raccoon dogs. Since 2016, epidemiological investigations have documented recurrent outbreaks of RDPV, exhibiting heightened virulence; however, the molecular mechanisms driving this increased pathogenicity remain poorly understood. In this study, an alignment of 67 complete RDPV sequences identified two high-frequency amino acid mutations at positions 27 and 297 in the VP2 capsid protein that distinguish RDPV strains from before and after the 2016 outbreak.

Background: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most pervasive pathogens, accounting for more deaths annually than some major infectious diseases. Its clinical significance lies not only in the ever-expansion of its antimicrobial resistance spectrum, but also its evolving clonal structure. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to quantify mortality associated with MRSA clones and evaluate the contribution of specific molecular features to outcome variation.

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales pose a critical global health threat, exemplified by increasing resistance of uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) that cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). Here, we investigate the publicly available EnteroBase dataset and identify a signal of increasing UTI caused by phylogroup A E.
