Article Abstract
Introduction: complex (Bcc) clonal complex (CC) 31, the predominant lineage causing devastating outbreaks globally, has been a growing concern of infections in non-cystic fibrosis (NCF) patients in India. is very challenging to treat owing to its virulence determinants and antibiotic resistance. Improving the management of these infections requires a better knowledge of their resistance patterns and mechanisms.
Methods: Whole-genome sequences of 35 CC31 isolates obtained from patient samples, were analyzed against available 210 CC31 genomes in the NCBI database to glean details of resistance, virulence, mobile elements, and phylogenetic markers to study genomic diversity and evolution of CC31 lineage in India.
Results: Genomic analysis revealed that 35 isolates belonging to CC31 were categorized into 11 sequence types (ST), of which five STs were reported exclusively from India. Phylogenetic analysis classified 245 CC31 isolates into eight distinct clades (I-VIII) and unveiled that NCF isolates are evolving independently from the global cystic fibrosis (CF) isolates forming a distinct clade. The detection rate of seven classes of antibiotic-related genes in 35 isolates was 35 (100%) for tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones; 26 (74.2%) for sulphonamides and phenicols; 7 (20%) for beta-lactamases; and 1 (2.8%) for trimethoprim resistance genes. Additionally, 3 (8.5%) NCF isolates were resistant to disinfecting agents and antiseptics. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that majority of NCF isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol (77%) and levofloxacin (34%). NCF isolates have a comparable number of virulence genes to CF isolates. A well-studied pathogenicity island of . , GI11 is present in ST628 and ST709 isolates from the Indian Bcc population. In contrast, genomic island GI15 (highly similar to the island found in . strain EY1) is exclusively reported in ST839 and ST824 isolates from two different locations in India. Horizontal acquisition of lytic phage ST79 of pathogenic . is demonstrated in ST628 isolates Bcc1463, Bcc29163, and BccR4654 amongst CC31 lineage.
Discussion: The study reveals a high diversity of CC31 lineages among isolates from India. The extensive information from this study will facilitate the development of rapid diagnostic and novel therapeutic approaches to manage . infections.

Noncovalent dyads of lanthanide nitride cluster fullerenes LnN@C and bisphthalocyanines LnPc: Insights from DFT calculations.

Context: Lanthanide-based systems, such as nitride cluster fullerenes LnN@C and bipthalocyanines LnPc (Pc = phthalocyanine ligand), are of interest for their magnetic, fluorescent and electronic properties. In this regard, we performed DFT characterization to investigate the changes in structure and electronic properties for noncovalently interacting lanthanide (Ln; where Ln = La, Ce, Gd and Lu) nitride cluster fullerenes and bisphthalocyanines to form LnN@C + LnPc dyads. The optimized geometries, formation and frontier orbital energies, HOMO-LUMO plots, charge and spin of Ln and N(NCF) atoms, as well as spin density plots of the dyads were analyzed in comparison with those of isolated LnN@C and LnPc components.

Challenges in developing adsorbents with sufficient phosphate (P) adsorption capacity, selectivity, and regeneration properties remain to be addressed. Herein, a multi-functionalized high-capacity nanocellulose/alginate hydrogel (La-NCF/SA-PEI [La: lanthanum, NCF: nanocellulose fiber, SA: sodium alginate, PEI: polyethyleneimine]) was prepared through environmentally friendly methods. The La-NCF/SA-PEI hydrogel, featuring a 3D porous structure with interwoven functional groups (amino, quaternary ammonium, and lanthanum), demonstrated a maximum P adsorption capacity of 78.

Article Synopsis
- - Many past attempts to scale conservation efforts have failed or caused harm, highlighting the need to learn from these experiences in order to effectively address biodiversity loss and improve future initiatives.
- - Key insights include understanding that both the effectiveness and scalability of conservation actions can vary, as well as recognizing how socio-ecological feedback processes can impact both adoption and long-term success.
- - Monitoring scaling efforts can enhance management and research, and by reflecting on these lessons, stakeholders can better align their actions to achieve goals related to biodiversity, climate change, and human wellbeing.

Background: Achromobacter spp. are opportunistic pathogens, mostly infecting immunocompromised patients and patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and considered as difficult-to-treat pathogens due to both intrinsic resistance and the possibility of acquired antimicrobial resistance. Species identification remains challenging leading to imprecise descriptions of resistance in each taxon.

Background And Objectives: The optic nerve is not one of the areas of the CNS that can be used to demonstrate dissemination in space (DIS) within the 2017 McDonald criteria for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Objectives were (1) to assess whether optic nerve-MRI (ON-MRI), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and visual evoked potentials (VEP) detect optic nerve involvement in clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and (2) to evaluate the contribution of the optic nerve topography to the current diagnostic criteria in a prospective, multicenter cohort.
Methods: MAGNIMS centers were invited to provide prospective data on patients with CIS who underwent a visual assessment with at least 2 of 3 investigations (ON-MRI, OCT, or VEP) within 6 months of onset.
