A study was made of the effect of RcsA and RcsB on the Vibrio fischeri lux expression in Escherichia coli. RcsA suppressed the LuxR activity and thereby inhibited expression of the lux genes coding for luciferase and reductase. In osmotic shock, RcsA-RcsB activated lux expression and, consequently, bioluminescence of E. coli cells in the early log phase.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major pathogen associated with hospital-acquired infections, particularly those involving multidrug-resistant strains. Carbapenem resistance, often driven by carbapenemases such as KPC, VIM, OXA-48, and NDM, poses a significant challenge in clinical settings. This study reports on K.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on Klebsiella pneumoniae, a pathogen linked to mink pneumonia, aiming to analyze the whole genome of multi-drug resistant K2 serotype strains in China.
- The research identifies the strain as K2 serotype ST6189, revealing its high virulence with multiple resistance genes against various antibiotics and identifying key virulence factors like adhesins and iron uptake systems.
- The findings indicate a significant presence of hypervirulent and multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae in mink, highlighting implications for mink farming practices in China.

Numerous virulence factors are present in the hypervirulent/hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae, which primarily causes community-acquired infections. In recent years, hypervirulent/hypermucoviscous K.pneumoniae has acquired resistance genes and has been linked to healthcare-associated infections.

Human milk oligosaccharides are complex, indigestible oligosaccharides that provide ideal nutrition for infant development. Here, 2'-fucosyllactose was efficiently produced in Escherichia coli by using a biosynthetic pathway. For this, both lacZ and wcaJ (encoding β-galactosidase and UDP-glucose lipid carrier transferase, respectively) were deleted to enhance the 2'-fucosyllactose biosynthesis.
