Objectives: Hospital staff are expected to report adverse events to safety leaders and risk managers. At our institution, staff report adverse events via an incident reporting software system, known as "RL." These "RL reports" are kept separate from patient medical records.

In this study, we further characterized two additional RsbW homologs and revealed the distinct roles of three RsbW homologs [RsbW1 (MSMEG_1803), RsbW2 (MSMEG_6129), and RsbW3 (MSMEG_1787)] in the SigF PSS. RsbW1 and RsbW2 serve as the anti-sigma factor of SigF and the protein kinase phosphorylating RsfB, respectively, while RsbW3 functions as an anti-SigF antagonist through its protein interaction with RsbW1.

The gene likely forms the operon together with and , encoding a glycerol facilitator and glycerol kinase, respectively. The () gene, whose product belongs to the IclR family of transcriptional regulators, was identified 182 bp upstream of It was demonstrated that GylR serves as a transcriptional activator and is involved in the induction of expression in the presence of glycerol.
