Distribution and molecular characterization of carbapenemase-producing gram-negative bacteria in Henan, China.

This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics and trends over time of carbapenemase-producing (e.g., KPC, NDM, VIM, IMP, and OXA-48) Gram-negative bacteria (CPGNB).

Genomic Characterization of Two Isolates Harboring Gene From Farm Environment.

The prevalence and transmission of mobile colistin resistance () genes have led to a severe threat to humans and animals. is an emerging pathogen which is closely related to a variety of diseases. However, the report of genes harboring is still rare.

Emergence and Genetic Characterization of Plasmid-Encoded VIM-2-Producing with Novel Integron In Isolated from Cerebrospinal Fluid.

Purpose: To investigate the genomic and plasmid characteristics of a newly discovered strain with a -carrying plasmid and novel integron In isolated from a cerebrospinal fluid specimen in a teaching hospital.

Methods: Species identification was performed by MALDI-TOF MS, and was identified by PCR and Sanger sequencing. Whole-genome sequencing analysis was conducted using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 and Oxford Nanopore platforms.

Emergence of IMP-8-Producing Causing Urinary Tract Infection in China.

The emergence of carbapenem resistance (CR) caused by hydrolytic enzymes called carbapenemases has become a major concern worldwide. So far, CR genes have been widely detected in various bacteria. However, there is no report of CR gene harboring .

Oral Microbiome in Patients with Oesophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

To investigate the oral microflora of patients with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), saliva samples were collected from 20 patients with ESCC and 21 healthy controls. The V3-V4 region of 16S rDNA was amplified and sequenced by the Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing platform. The final sequences were used for OTU analysis.
