Molecular characterization and antimicrobial susceptibility of human in Northeast China.

Introduction: Northeast China has always been an area with severe brucellosis prevalence. This study will identify in Northeast China and test its resistance to antibiotics, in order to clarify its resistance mechanism. is a widespread and highly pathogenic bacteria that poses serious threats to public health and animal husbandry.

Transcriptomic Insight into Viviparous Growth in Water Lily.

Water lily is an important ornamental flower plant which is capable of viviparous plantlet development. But no study has been reported on the molecular basis of viviparity in water lily. Hence, we performed a comparative transcriptome study between viviparous water lily and a nonviviparous species at four developmental stages.

Genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of Ebola virus in Sierra Leone.

A novel Ebola virus (EBOV) first identified in March 2014 has infected more than 25,000 people in West Africa, resulting in more than 10,000 deaths. Preliminary analyses of genome sequences of 81 EBOV collected from March to June 2014 from Guinea and Sierra Leone suggest that the 2014 EBOV originated from an independent transmission event from its natural reservoir followed by sustained human-to-human infections. It has been reported that the EBOV genome variation might have an effect on the efficacy of sequence-based virus detection and candidate therapeutics.
