Article Abstract
Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a broad-spectrum plant defense phenomena controlled by the salicylic acid receptor NPR1. Key regulators of the SAR signaling pathway showed great potentials to improve crop resistance to various diseases. In our previous investigation, a barley transcription factor gene HvWRKY6 was identified as downstream of NPR1 during SAR. However, the broad-spectrum resistance features and molecular mechanisms of HvWRKY6 remain to be explored. In this study, a transgenic wheat line exogenously expressing HvWRKY6 showed improved resistance to leaf rust, Fusarium crown rot (FCR), and sharp eyespot. The model pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 was employed to induce the SAR response in wheat plants' leaf region adjacent to the infiltration area. Transcriptome sequencing revealed activation of broad-spectrum defense responses by expressing HvWRKY6 in a pathogen-independent manner. Based on the differentially expressed genes in plant hormone signal transduction, we speculated that the enhanced resistance in HvWRKY6-OE wheat transgenic line was associated with activation of the salicylic acid pathway and suppression of the abscisic acid and jasmonic acid pathways. These findings suggest that the transgenic line HvWRKY6-OE might be applied for the genetic improvement of wheat to several fungal diseases; the underlying resistance mechanism was clarified.

Anaerobic bacteria cause a wide range of infections, varying from mild to severe, whether localized, implant-associated, or invasive, often leading to high morbidity and mortality. These infections are challenging to manage due to antimicrobial resistance against common antibiotics such as carbapenems and nitroimidazoles. The empirical use of antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of resistant organisms, making the identification and development of new antibiotics increasingly difficult.

Background: Southern corn leaf blight (SCLB), caused by Cochliobolus heterostrophus, is a major disease that severely affects maize production globally, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Conventional control strategies, such as chemical fungicides and resistant cultivars, are limited due to environmental and health concerns.
Results: This study explores Bacillus velezensis JLU-55 as a potential biological control agent against C.

Background: commonly colonizes the genitourinary tract and primarily affects immunocompromised individuals. It is mostly confined to localized infections, with bloodstream dissemination being rare. Because of its fastidious nutritional requirements, the organism is seldom recovered by routine blood culture, and the absence of a cell wall renders it intrinsically resistant to many first-line antimicrobials.

This study presents a rare case of severe acute bacterial skin and soft tissue infection (ABSSSI) following freshwater fish spike injury in a 73-year-old man. Within 24 hours of sustaining the wound, the patient developed septic shock and progressive necrotizing fasciitis. Despite early administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics and intensive care, his condition deteriorated, necessitating below-the-elbow amputation on hospital day four.

Background: Critically ill patients, including those with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis, frequently exhibit gut microbiota disruption due to physiological stress and broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy (AT). Although antibiotics are essential for controlling infection, they can destabilize the gut microbiota and may contribute to poorer clinical outcomes. The characterization of the gut microbiota of these patients may inform microbiota-based interventions to mitigate antibiotic-induced dysbiosis.
