Studying the effects of terahertz (THz) radiation on the proteome of temperature-sensitive organisms is limited by a number of significant technical difficulties, one of which is maintaining an optimal temperature range to avoid thermal shock as much as possible. In the case of extremophilic species with an increased temperature tolerance, it is easier to isolate the effects of THz radiation directly. We studied the proteomic response to terahertz radiation of the thermophilic , persisting under wide temperature fluctuations with a 60 °C optimum.

The specific activity of the pAsPs was 7,657,000 U/mg toward casein, 2320 U/mg toward hemoglobin, and 25,344 U/mg toward azocasein per 1 mg of the protein. The enzyme was found to be inhibited by Cu.

We evaluated the first commercial dual resistance assay, AmpliSens -ML/FQ-Resist-FL assay, for detection of potential macrolide and quinolone resistance-associated mutations (MRAMs and QRAMs, respectively) and estimated the prevalence of these mutations in MG in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Non-typhoid (NTS) are one of the key pathogens causing diarrheal diseases. Here, we report the isolation and whole genome sequencing of multidrug colistin-resistant/susceptible isolates of non-typhoid serovars carrying genes.

Mycoplasma genitalium is a widespread sexually transmitted infection (STI) with growing rate of antimicrobials resistance. In our study, 137 vaginal and 131 urethral M. genitalium-positive swabs were sequentially collected through the work of Reference Center for STI during 2019.
