Introduction: Minimal change disease (MCD) is most often primary but may occur secondary to other systemic diseases such as malignancy. In secondary MCD, spontaneous remission of nephrotic syndrome after the treatment of related diseases without steroid therapy is rare.
Case Presentation: A 78-year-old man visited the outpatient clinic with foamy urine and generalized edema that had persisted for 2 months.
Background: Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common type of primary glomerulonephritis, and recurrent IgAN is common after kidney transplantation (KT). Owing to the differences in various biopsy protocols and follow-ups in each study, the recurrence rate varies from 9.7% to 46%.

In Korea, gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopic biopsy specimens account for a high percentage of histopathologic examinations. Lack of a sufficient pathologist workforce can cause an increase in human errors, threatening patient safety.

Here, we describe the isolation and genome sequencing of two lytic siphophages, P12002L and P12002S, that infect Polaribacter sp. strain IMCC12002.

Here we report the genome sequence of bacteriophage P12026 that can lytically infect bacterial strain IMCC12026, a member of the genus Marinomonas. To our knowledge, this is the first genome sequence of a lytic bacteriophage infecting the genus Marinomonas.

Bacteriophages infecting members of the phylum Bacteroidetes, however, have not been well represented in public genome databases. Here we announce the genome sequences of two bacteriophages, P12024S and P12024L, that were isolated from coastal seawater and lytically infect Persicivirga sp.

Here we report the complete genome sequence of bacteriophage P12053L, which infects Celeribacter sp. strain IMCC12053, a member of the Roseobacter clade.
