Article Synopsis
- Neisseria musculi is a type of bacteria that normally lives in the mouths of wild-caught mice without causing harm.
- The study presents the full genome sequence of a specific strain, called NW831, of this bacteria.
- The genome was sequenced using advanced technologies from both Illumina and PacBio platforms, which are methods for reading genetic material.
Persistence Dynamics of Antimicrobial-Resistant in the Pharynx of Rhesus Macaques.

July 2020
Pharyngeal infections by are often asymptomatic, making them difficult to treat. However, animal modeling of human pharyngeal infections by pathogenic species is challenging due to numerous host tropism barriers. We have relied on rhesus macaques to investigate pharyngeal persistence of naturally occurring species in response to antibiotics.

Background: Patient's medical charts in hospitals are potentially contaminated by pathogenic bacteria and might act as vehicles for transmission of bacterial infections.This study was aimed to determine the rate of contamination of medical charts by multidrug resistant bacteria.
Methods: Sampling of total 250 patient's medical charts from different wards was done with the help of cotton swabs soaked in sterile normal saline.
