Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the diversity of plasmids carrying the antibiotic resistance gene bla in Enterobacteriaceae from neonates at a pediatric hospital in Vietnam, revealing rapid and silent spread of antibiotic resistance in the region.
- - Researchers used advanced techniques like optical DNA mapping and next-generation sequencing to identify at least 10 distinct plasmids among 18 bacterial isolates, indicating significant genetic variation.
- - The findings emphasize the coexistence of multiple plasmids encoding the same bla gene within individual isolates, showcasing the effectiveness of optical DNA mapping in understanding plasmid diversity and antibiotic resistance.
Optimisation of cultivation conditions in the industrial production of probiotics is crucial to reach a high-quality product with retained probiotic functionality. Flow cytometry-based descriptors of bacterial morphology may be used as markers to estimate physiological fitness during cultivation, and can be applied for online monitoring to avoid suboptimal growth. In the current study, the effects of temperature, initial pH and oxygen levels on cell growth and cell size distributions of Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 were measured using multivariate flow cytometry.

Previous studies have shown high rates of CRE colonisation among patients at hospitals in LMICs, with increased risk of hospital-acquired infections.
Methods: We isolated carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) from faecal samples collected in 2017 from patients at admission and discharge at a Vietnamese neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
