Analysis of Whole-Genome Sequences of Pathogenic Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Isolates from the Same Hospital Environment to Investigate Common Evolutionary Trends Associated with Horizontal Gene Exchange, Mutations and DNA Methylation Patterning.

Hospital-acquired infections are a generally recognized problem for healthcare professionals. Clinical variants of Gram-negative and Gram-positive pathogens are characterized with enhanced antibiotic resistance and virulence due to mutations and the horizontal acquisition of respective genetic determinants. In this study, two , two , three , two , one and one showing broad spectra of antibiotic resistance were isolated from patients suffering from nosocomial infections in a local hospital in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Whole genome sequence data of SCAID WND1-2022 (370).

The whole genome sequence of a hospital infection agent, SCAID WND1-2022 (370), is reported. Raw PacBio generated reads and the genome sequence were deposited at NCBI under BioProject PRJNA754843. The genome comprises two replicons: 4,880,425 bp long chromosome comprising 4524 proteins and functional RNA coding genes and 38,606 bp long plasmid containing 40 CDS.

Component Composition and Biological Activity of Various Extracts of (Boraginaceae).

roots are widely used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases throughout the world. In this study, for the first time, we investigated the component composition and biological activity of various extracts from the roots of collected in the highlands of the Kakpakty Mountains of the Almaty region (Republic of Kazakhstan). Extracts were obtained by three different methods: percolation extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction.

Complete Genome Sequences of Gram-Negative Opportunistic Pathogens Isolated in Hospitals in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The problem of nosocomial infections is growing due to the introduction of new treatment regimens involving immunosuppressive drugs. The genomes of seven Gram-negative clinical isolates of Escherichia, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas were sequenced and analyzed in this study to serve as model microorganisms to study drug-induced antibiotic resistance reversion.

Terahertz lattice dynamics of the potassium rare-earth binary molybdates.

We report a systematic study of low-energy lattice vibrations in the layered systems KY(MoO), KDy(MoO), KEr(MoO), and KTm(MoO). A layered crystal structure and low symmetry of the local environment of the rare-earth ion cause the appearance of vibrational and electronic excitations in Terahertz frequencies. The interaction between these excitations leads to sophisticated dynamical properties, including non-linear effects in paramagnetic resonance spectra.
