Background: While recent US policies restrict access to healthcare and resulting health disparities among the transgender community, little is known about oral health access and utilization among this population. This study assessed self-reported access to dental care among transgender adults living in the United States.

Method: The study sample included 1,284,526 observations representing a weighted population of 290,000,163 from Behavioral Risk Factor and Surveillance Survey (BRFSS) datasets.

Paratyphoid B fever (PTB) is caused by an invasive lineage (phylogroup 1, PG1) of Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi B (SPB). However, little was known about the global population structure, geographic distribution, and evolution of this pathogen. Here, we report a whole-genome analysis of 568 historical and contemporary SPB PG1 isolates, obtained globally, between 1898 and 2021.

Objective: To evaluate the association between enteral sodium supplementation on growth and hypertension (HTN) in preterm infants.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of infants born between 22-32 weeks and weighing 450-1500 grams (N = 821). Enteral sodium supplementation amounts, systolic blood pressures (SBP), weight gain, and other infant and maternal risk factors for HTN were electronically extracted.

Article Synopsis
  • Microbial biobanks are vital resources that preserve diverse microbial samples for research, training, and quality assurance, contributing to biodiversity conservation and scientific progress.
  • They can either maintain a broad spectrum of microbial diversity or focus on specific areas, requiring careful decision-making in strain selection for various applications.
  • The proposed unbiased scoring method helps prioritize and categorize microbial samples, aiding in genomic research aimed at quality control and the discovery of beneficial natural compounds, particularly for human health.

The naming of prokaryotes is governed by the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) and partially by the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants (ICN). Such codes must be able to determine names of taxa in a universal and unambiguous manner, thus serving as a common language across different fields and activities. This unity is undermined when a new code of nomenclature emerges that overlaps in scope with an established, time-tested code and uses the same format of names but assigns different nomenclatural status values to the names.

Accurate taxonomy is essential for microbial biological resource centers, since the microbial resources are often used to support new discoveries and subsequent research. Here, we used genome sequence data, alongside matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer biotyper-based protein profiling, to accurately identify six complex strains. This approach effectively identified distinct species within the complex, including , "," and .

HIV-1 infection causes severe alterations of gut mucosa, microbiota and immune system, which can be curbed by early antiretroviral therapy. Here, we investigate how treatment timing affects intestinal memory B-cell and plasmablast repertoires of HIV-1-infected humans. We show that only class-switched memory B cells markedly differ between subjects treated during the acute and chronic phases of infection.

Article Synopsis
  • - A new bacterial strain (JJ-246) was isolated from the roots of corn plants (Zea mays) and is classified as a Gram-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming bacterium.
  • - Genetic analysis revealed that JJ-246 is closely related to the species Paenibacillus oenotherae but shows significant differences in genome similarities, indicating it is a distinct species.
  • - The genome of JJ-246 contains various genes that may benefit plants, such as those involved in root colonization, stress protection, and nutrient acquisition, leading to the proposal of the new species name Paenibacillus plantiphilus.

The Gram-negative, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, rod-shaped strain Arafor3 was isolated from forest soil (France). Comparative 16S rRNA gene analysis and phylogenetic analysis based on (1) multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) with four housekeeping genes (atpD, gyrB, infB and rpoB) and (2) genomes indicated that strain Arafor3 shared 98.83% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the type strain of Serratia fonticola DSM 4576 and was closely related to this same strain in the MLSA and in the phylogenomic tree reconstruction.

The laboratory surveillance of bacillary dysentery is based on a standardised Shigella typing scheme that classifies Shigella strains into four serogroups and more than 50 serotypes on the basis of biochemical tests and lipopolysaccharide O-antigen serotyping. Real-time genomic surveillance of Shigella infections has been implemented in several countries, but without the use of a standardised typing scheme. Here, we study over 4000 reference strains and clinical isolates of Shigella, covering all serotypes, with both the current serotyping scheme and the standardised EnteroBase core-genome multilocus sequence typing scheme (cgMLST).

  • A new strain of a Gram-positive, non-spore-forming actinobacterium, named IMT-300, was isolated from soil enriched with humic acid in Alabama, where earthworms have been cultivated for over 50 years.
  • Genetic analysis showed that IMT-300 is closely related to another actinobacterium (97.8% similarity) but distinctly differs enough to be classified as a novel species.
  • The strain exhibits unique characteristics in its peptidoglycan composition, lipid profile, and fatty acid content, supporting its classification as a new species, which has been proposed to be named sp. nov. with IMT-300 as the type strain.
