Article Synopsis
- In places like Cambodia, where sanitation is poor, bacteria can easily spread between humans and animals, worsening the problem of antibiotic resistance.
- The study found similar patterns of antibiotic resistance in humans and animals in Cambodia, highlighting the need for better control at the human-animal interface to combat this issue effectively, particularly in lower and middle-income countries.
Article Synopsis
- KpSC is a significant cause of hospital infections worldwide, showing high antimicrobial resistance, driving research into its virulence and metabolic processes for new treatments.
- Researchers created KpSC pan v2, an advanced metabolic model using data from 507 KpSC isolates, which includes 3550 reactions and can simulate growth on 360 substrates, showing improved accuracy over previous models.
- This model is available for free online, providing a valuable resource for researchers to study metabolism and develop targeted therapies.
We describe 10 unlinked cases of infection (nine cutaneous, one respiratory) in France in 2023 in persons travelling from Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Niger or Nigeria and Central African Republic. Four isolates were toxigenic. Seven genomically unrelated isolates were multidrug-resistant, including a toxigenic respiratory isolate with high-level resistance to macrolides and beta-lactams.

In this work, we characterise phenotypically and genotypically isolates belonging to two C. ulcerans lineages.

- Klebsiella pneumoniae (Kp) is a significant opportunistic pathogen contributing to antimicrobial resistance, making effective treatments crucial.
- Researchers have developed a new strategy for isolating anti-K phages by using capsule-deficient Kp mutants, which allows these phages to infect a broader range of Kp strains.
- This approach shows promise for overcoming limitations related to Kp's highly diverse capsules and could enhance the effectiveness of phage therapy, particularly in treating Kp infections in complex environments like the gut.
