Identification and synthesis of highly conserved glycans is a priority for understanding chemical immunology as it applies to drug-resistant pathogens such as Gram-negative Acinetobacter baumannii. Herein, we report on our initial efforts aimed toward the synthesis of a highly conserved lipooligosaccharide core isolated originally from A. baumannii ATCC 19606. Key steps in the syntheses include a regioselective acetonide cleavage and a stereoselective and regioselective O-glycosylation of the 4-position of the 8-carbon sugar "Kdo."

is an important cause of infectious exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and otitis media. Previously, seroresistant (SR) and serosensitive (SS) lineages that differed in virulence potential were described, which raised questions about their evolutionary relationship and species classification. To investigate the population structure of , we developed a core-genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) scheme using 1,319 core genes, and a life identification number (LIN) barcode classification system.

Outer membrane-derived vesicles (OMVs) have been studied in different phyla of gram-negative bacteria, most extensively in the Pseudomonadota, where they have been shown to participate in diverse biological and environmental processes. To date, the production of OMVs has not been reported in the Chlorobiaceae within the phylum Chlorobiota. is the model organism for the Chlorobiaceae that synthesizes and consumes insoluble extracellular sulfur (S(0)) globules by an unknown mechanism.

Two novel Gram-stain-negative, Oxidase-positive, catalase-negative, aerobic, non-motile and coccus-shaped bacterial strains (ZJ142 and ZJ171) were isolated from the respiratory tract of marmots collected from Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (Altitude: 3600 m; N: 33°13'57'', E: 97°1'11'') in Qinghai Province. The 16S rRNA genes of strains ZJ142 and ZJ171 are most similar to Moraxella porci DSM 25326 (99.04%).
