Klebsiella pneumoniae strain KP01 carrying blaGES-5 was identified from a patient in Guangzhou, China. High-throughput sequencing assigned blaGES-5 to a 28.5-kb nonconjugative plasmid, pGES-GZ.

Two resistance plasmids were identified in CY01. The pCY-VIM plasmid was 14 kb in size and possessed a replicase gene (repA), a gene cluster encoding the partitioning function (parABC), and a carbapenemase gene (blaVIM-1).

- Laribacter hongkongensis is a bacterium linked to foodborne illness, particularly gastroenteritis, with increasing concerns about quinolone resistance found in aquatic products.
- Researchers analyzed 21 ciprofloxacin-resistant strains of L. hongkongensis from various sources, discovering specific mutations in the genes gyrA and parC, which are associated with increased resistance.
- The study revealed that although the AQR gene aac(6')-Ib-cr contributes to resistance in some strains, there was no significant role of efflux pumps, and the resistant strains displayed genetic diversity.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of chronic virus infection on laboratory tests results in patients with osteoarticular tuberculosis.
Methods: A total of 121 patients with osteoarticular tuberculosis, who were hospitalized in Shenzhen Third People's Hospital during June 2008 to June 2012, were recruited for analysis. Clinical laboratory tests results were collected for comparison between patients with or without chronic co-infection with virus.
