Article Abstract

The genomes of two nitrogen-fixing strains, Ag45/Mut15 and AgPM24, isolated from root nodules of are described as representatives of a novel candidate species Phylogenomic and ANI analyses confirmed that both strains are related to cluster 1 frankiae, and that both strains belong to a novel species. At 6.4 - 6.7 Mb, their genomes were smaller than those of other cultivated -infective cluster 1 strains but larger than that of the non-cultivated -infective cluster 1 Sp+ strain AgTrS that was their closest neighbor as assessed by ANI. Comparative genomic analyses identified genes essential for nitrogen-fixation, gene composition as regards COGs, secondary metabolites clusters and transcriptional regulators typical of those from -infective cluster 1 cultivated strains in both genomes. There were 459 genes present in other cultivated -infective strains lost in the two genomes, spread over the whole of the genome, which indicates genome erosion is taking place in these two strains.

Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are frequent reasons for medical consultations in general practice and can lead to unnecessary recontacts. Introducing new point-of-care (POC) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic equipment may offer an attractive and efficient way of providing a more precise and exact microbial diagnosis. Successful uptake of POC PCR equipment could potentially lead to a reduction in recontacts with benefits for both staff and patients.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a globally recognised public health threat. In rural China, antibiotic use is common for acute respiratory infections (ARIs), which include symptoms such as coughing and fever that are most likely viral infections but with a small proportion as bacterial infections. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive intervention based on C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A point-of-care testing (CRP&SAA POCT) in reducing the inappropriate use of antibiotics for ARIs in Chinese village clinics.

The A20 binding inhibitor of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-1 (ABIN-1) serves as a ubiquitin sensor and autophagy receptor, crucial for modulating inflammation and cell death. Our previous in vitro investigation identified the LC3-interacting region (LIR) motifs 1 and 2 of ABIN-1 as key mitophagy regulators. This study aimed to explore the in vivo biological significance of ABIN1-LIR domains using a novel CRISPR-engineered ABIN1-ΔLIR1/2 mouse model, which lacks both LIR motifs.

The emergence of CRF80_0107 resulted from recombination between co-circulating CRF01_AE and CRF07_BC genotypes. To date, no secondary recombinants involving CRF80_0107 as a parental strain have been documented in public sequence databases. Here, we report the identification and characterization of a novel HIV-1 CRF80_0107/B recombinant form isolated from a treatment-naïve men who have sex with men (MSM) individual in Baoding City, Hebei Province, China.
