Genomic and Proteomic Analysis of Six Vi01-like Phages Reveals Wide Host Range and Multiple Tail Spike Proteins.

is a large family of Gram-negative bacteria composed of many pathogens, including and . Here, we characterize six bacteriophages that infect which were isolated from wastewater plants in the Wasatch front (Utah, United States). These phages are highly similar to the vB_SenM_Vi01 (Vi01), which was isolated using wastewater from Kiel, Germany.

Complete genome sequences of five that infect hosts.

This announcement contains the whole genome sequences of five that infect members of the family of bacteria. Four of the five phages were isolated using serovar Typhimurium as a bacterial host: AR2819, Sajous1, SilasIsHot, and FrontPhageNews. ChubbyThor was isolated using .

Learning from child welfare staff experiences during the pandemic: Practices to maintain and discontinue.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to multiple changes in the ways child welfare agencies operate. Child protection agencies had to make rapid changes that impacted where and how staff operate. Minimal research has examined child welfare workers' views of these practices.

Genome Sequences of 22 T1-like Bacteriophages That Infect .

Here, the full genome sequences of 22 T1-like bacteriophages isolated from wastewater are reported. Eight (BlueShadow, Brooksby, Devorator, ElisaCorrea, Reinasaurus, SorkZaugg, Supreme284, ZeroToHero) were isolated on , six on Klebsiella (Chell, FairDinkum, HazelMika, Opt-817, P528, PeteCarol), and eight on Escherichia (Fulano1, Mishu, Opt-719, PhleaSolo, Punny, Poky, Phunderstruck, Sadiya).

Complete Genome Sequences of Five Bacteriophages That Infect Hosts.

Full genome sequences of five bacteriophages that were isolated from raw sewage samples and infect hosts are presented. Brookers is a P22-like Proteus phage, OddieOddie is a 9g-like Escherichia coli phage, Diencephelon is a Kp3-like Klebsiella phage, and Rgz1 and Lilpapawes are classic T4-like and T7-like virulent Proteus phages, respectively.

Complete Genome Sequences of Five SO-1-Like Bacteriophages That Infect .

The order is composed of Gram-negative bacteria that range from harmless symbionts to well-studied pathogens. We announce complete genome sequences of five related SO-1-like bacteriophages (also known as the genus) isolated from wastewater that infect Escherichia coli (Opt-212, Over9000, Pubbukkers, and Teewinot) or Shigella boydii (StarDew).

Solitary Duodenal Ulcer Causing Biliary Obstruction Requiring Rendezvous Procedure in a Pediatric Patient With Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EGE) is an uncommon disease characterized by immune cell-mediated inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract resulting in vague abdominal symptoms, most commonly nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. We report the case of a 16-year-old male presenting with a six-week history of progressive pruritus, jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, acholic stools, and dark-colored urine. This patient was diagnosed via endoscopy with biliary obstruction caused by a large, solitary, duodenal ulcer secondary to EGE.

The Role of Long-Term Antibiotic Suppression in the Management of Peri-Prosthetic Joint Infections Treated With Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention: A Systematic Review.

Background: A number of clinical trials have been conducted, assessing the role of long-term (>1 year) suppressive antibiotic treatment (SAT) combined with Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention (DAIR) for the management of peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, no systematic review of the literature has been published to date to evaluate complications associated with long-term antibiotic treatment and overall survivorship free from re-operation and revision for infection after DAIR for total hip and total knee PJI.

Methods: The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), EMBASE, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were queried for publications from January 1980 to December 2018 utilizing keywords pertinent to total knee arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty, PJI, and antibiotic suppression.

Effect of broadcast baiting on abundance patterns of red imported fire ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and key local ant genera at long-term monitoring sites in Brisbane, Australia.

In 2001, the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) was identified in Brisbane, Australia. An eradication program involving broadcast bait treatment with two insect growth regulators and a metabolic inhibitor began in September of that year and is currently ongoing. To gauge the impacts of these treatments on local ant populations, we examined long-term monitoring data and quantified abundance patterns of S.

Safety and tolerability of North American ginseng extract in the treatment of pediatric upper respiratory tract infection: a phase II randomized, controlled trial of 2 dosing schedules.

Background: Upper respiratory tract infections are the most common childhood illness. Panax quinquefolius (American ginseng root extract) standardized to contain 80% poly-furanosyl-pyranosyl-saccharides is purported to be effective in adult upper respiratory tract infection but has not been evaluated yet in a pediatric population.

Objectives: Our primary objective was to document the safety and tolerability of 2 weight-based dosing schedules (standard dose versus low dose versus placebo) in children.

Reproductive freedom and the State.

This brief paper describes the experiences and attitudes of a UK Member of Parliament to the politics of reproductive biomedicine. It provides insights into how problems in this field strike politicians and governments, and their interactions with the press and the public. It takes examples of four topics which help to decide the attitudes of legislators in such complex ethical matters.
