Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed 275 isolates from various countries using genomic techniques and found three main groups along with a proposed modified taxonomy for the genus.
- * The findings suggest significant genetic diversity among Morganella spp and highlight the importance of monitoring these pathogens' resistance mechanisms for better treatment options.
Objectives: The early identification of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is required to prevent their spread and initiate proper therapy. Accordingly, it is crucial to develop efficient algorithms using susceptibility testing results to discriminate non-carbapenemase producers (non-CPE) from those that require complementary tests. In 2022, to adapt its recommendations to the evolution of CPE epidemiology (increased prevalence of OXA-244 producers), the Antibiogram Committee of the French Society of Microbiology (CA-SFM) proposed a new algorithm for the screening of CPE.

- Modified low-density lipoproteins (LDL) can get inside immune cells called macrophages, making them turn into foam cells, which can cause heart problems.
- Mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, need to work properly to help prevent foam cell formation by moving cholesterol out of macrophages.
- The study found that different types of modified LDL impact mitochondria in different ways, with one type causing damage and the other allowing the cells to adapt while still producing energy.
