Article Synopsis
- A study estimated the effectiveness of two and three mRNA COVID-19 vaccine doses against symptomatic illness due to SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants in adults seeking outpatient care between October 2021 and February 2022.
- The research involved 3,847 participants and found that vaccine effectiveness (VE) against symptoms was significantly higher for three doses compared to two doses, especially during the Delta variant period.
- The results indicated that the three-dose regimen offered substantial protection against symptomatic illness when the Omicron variant was predominant, reinforcing the recommendation for a third vaccine dose.
Complete Genome Sequences of Four Macrolide-Resistant Nondiphtheritic Isolates.
Microbiol Resour Announc
September 2022
This report describes the complete genome sequences of four isolates of the nondiphtheritic (NDC) species Corynebacterium pseudodiphtheriticum and Corynebacterium propinquum, recovered during investigation of a large diphtheria outbreak in Bangladesh. These data will assist in better delineating the boundary between these related species and understanding their virulence potential.

- Genomic surveillance is essential for monitoring emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, which can impact public health by affecting transmissibility and immune response.
- Between June 2021 and January 2022, the CDC enhanced its data collection methods to provide more accurate estimates of variant proportions by utilizing public repositories and refining analysis techniques.
- During this time, the Delta variant initially dominated infections but was quickly supplanted by the Omicron variant, which accounted for nearly all U.S. cases by January 2022, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance in pandemic response.
Complete and Circularized Bacterial Genome Sequence of sp. Strain X0973.
Microbiol Resour Announc
March 2021
sp. strain X0973 is a Gram-positive, weakly acid-fast, aerobic actinomycete obtained from a human abscess with NBRC 100433 as its closest phylogenetic neighbor. Here, we report using Illumina MiSeq and PacBio reads to assemble the complete and circular genome sequence of 3.

Material And Methods: Twenty patients with unilateral, sporadic VS previously untreated were identified.
Effects of Life Stage, Site, and Species on the Dragonfly Gut Microbiome.
Microorganisms
January 2020
Insects that undergo metamorphosis from juveniles to adults provide an intriguing opportunity to examine the effects of life stage, species, and the environment on their gut microbiome. In this study, we surveyed the gut microbiomes of 13 species of dragonfly collected from five different locations subject to different levels of human impact. Juveniles were collected as nymphs from aquatic habitats while airborne adults were caught at the same locations.
