Construction of a Lectin-Glycan Interaction Network from Enterohemorrhagic Strains by Multi-omics Analysis.

Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) causes hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. EHEC infection begins with bacterial adherence to the host intestine via lectin-like adhesins that bind to the intestinal wall. However, EHEC-related lectin-glycan interactions (LGIs) remain unknown.

Case Report: Scrub Typhus and Q Fever Coinfection.

A 56-year-old female goat herder had scrub typhus that persisted after receiving doxycycline for 5 days. Her symptoms continued, prompting us to perform further examinations that revealed coinfection of Q fever and scrub typhus via molecular and serological testing. We also isolated using BALB/c mice and L929 cells.
