Alteration in the Morphological and Transcriptomic Profiles of after Exposure to Colistin.

is often highly resistant to multiple antimicrobials, posing a risk of treatment failure, and colistin is a "last resort" for treatment of the bacterial infection. However, colistin resistance is easily developed when the bacteria are exposed to the drug, and a comprehensive analysis of colistin-mediated changes in colistin-susceptible and -resistant is needed. In this study, using an isogenic pair of colistin-susceptible and -resistant isolates, alterations in morphologic and transcriptomic characteristics associated with colistin resistance were revealed.

Complete genome sequence of a novel reassortant H3N3 avian influenza virus.

Aquatic birds are known to be a reservoir for the most common influenza A viruses (IAVs). In the annual surveillance program, we collected the feces of migratory birds for the detection of IAVs in South Korea in November 2016. A novel reassorted H3N3 avian influenza virus (AIV) containing genes from viruses of wild and domestic birds was identified and named A/aquatic bird/South Korea/sw006/2016(H3N3).

Contribution of chitooligosaccharides to biofilm formation, antibiotics resistance and disinfectants tolerance of Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen present in various environmental reservoirs. It exhibits resistance and tolerance to antibiotics and sanitizing agents used in several food processing industries. It has been reported that L.
