Article Abstract

Background: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a versatile pathogen found in many environments and can cause nosocomial infections in the community and hospitals. S. aureus infection is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across many government bodies, medical and health sectors, and scientific research institutions.

Methods: In the present study, S. aureus N315 genes that have been shown in the literature to be pathogenic were extracted using a bibliometric method for functional enrichment analysis of pathways and operons to statistically discover novel pathogenic genes associated with S. aureus N315.

Results: A total of 383 pathogenic genes were mined from the literature using bibliometrics, and subsequently a few new pathogenic genes of S. aureus N315 were identified by functional enrichment analysis of pathways and operons.

Conclusions: The discovery of these novel S. aureus N315 pathogenic genes is of great significance to treat S. aureus induced diseases and identify potential diagnostic markers, thus providing theoretical fundamentals for epidemiological prevention.

Background: The neonatal period is critical for oral microbiome establishment, but temporal patterns in preterm newborns remain unclear. This study examined longitudinal microbiome changes in full-term and preterm newborns and assessed perinatal and clinical influences.

Methods: Oral swabs were collected from 98 newborns (23 full-term, 75 preterm).

Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a prevalent hereditary disorder, with its monogenic form linked to an elevated risk of early-onset ischemic heart disease. Evaluating the prevalence and penetrance of pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants associated with this disorder would provide valuable information supporting routine FH screening of the general population. Such informed screening would facilitate early identification of at-risk individuals, enabling timely intervention and management.

Hypervirulent Carbapenem-resistant Infection: Epidemiology, Virulence, Resistance, and Treatment.

Infect Drug Resist

September 2025

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The Second Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, 130000, People's Republic of China.

In recent years, reports of hypervirulent (hv) carbapenem-resistant (CR) (Kp) (hv-CRKp) have gradually increased. hv-CRKp may emerge from hvKp acquiring mobile genetic elements carrying multiple antibiotic-resistance genes or multi-drug-resistant Kp acquiring virulence genes, with subsequent convergence of resistance and virulence. Thus, hv-CRKp simultaneously harbors resistance and virulence genes and may even show resistance to colistin and tigecycline, suggesting potential for causing severe infections and placing a serious burden on the health care system.

Background And Aim: is a multidrug-resistant (MDR) zoonotic pathogen increasingly implicated in infections in both humans and animals, including avian species. Raptors, particularly peregrine falcons, are vulnerable due to their exposure to diverse environments and intensive management practices. This study aimed to identify isolates from peregrine falcons in Saudi Arabia and to characterize their genomic features, phylogenetic relationships, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles using whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
