This study aims to determine the molecular features and antimicrobial resistance of (Group B streptococcus, GBS) causing invasive and noninvasive infections in Korean adults. Sequence type (ST), capsular serotype, pilus island typing, and antimicrobial susceptibility were analyzed for GBS isolates obtained at a hospital laboratory that processed the primary clinical specimens collected from Korean adults between 2021 and 2024. Among the 90 isolates, Serotype VIII (34.

Diet and obesity contribute to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, in part via the gut microbiome. To explore the role of gut-derived metabolites in this process, we assessed portal/peripheral blood metabolites in mice with different risks of obesity/diabetes, challenged with a high-fat diet (HFD) + antibiotics. In diabetes/obesity-prone C57BL/6J mice, 111 metabolites were portally enriched and 74 were peripherally enriched, many of which differed in metabolic-syndrome-resistant 129S1/129S6 mice.

Corynebacterium amycolatum: an underestimated pathogen in early-onset neonatal sepsis-a case report.

BMC Infect Dis

September 2025

Department of Laboratory Medicine, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, No.20, Section 3, Renmin South Road, Chengdu, Sichuan, 610041, P.R. China.

Background: Early-onset neonatal sepsis (EOS) is a critical condition primarily caused by maternal-fetal transmission of bacterial pathogens during delivery, with Escherichia coli and Group B Streptococcus being the most prevalent. However, neonatal sepsis can also involve other rare bacteria, including Corynebacterium amycolatum, which was first described in 1988 and is widely recognized as an emerging pathogen in infectious diseases.

Case Presentation: A male infant was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to premature birth and tachypnea.

Division of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, CSIR-Central Drug Research Institute, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh 226031, India; Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), New Delhi, India. Electronic address:

Antimicrobial resistance is recognized as a threat to healthcare systems worldwide and consequently, discovery and development of new antimicrobials is a top priority. Natural products and their derivatives have historically been an excellent source of antimicrobials. In this context, anti-bacterial activity of synthesized natural product derivative, Rheinal, was assessed against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens where it exhibited potent bactericidal activity against S.

Mixed bloodstream infections (BSIs) involving and other bacterial pathogens present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. The incidence of these co-infections has been increasing. However, the limited literature on this topic necessitates a deeper understanding of its epidemiological and clinical characteristics.
