The virulence array protein gene A (vapA) encoding the A-protein subunit of the surface layer of 23 typical and atypical strains of Aeromonas salmonicida from salmonids and marine fish species were sequenced, and the deduced A-protein sequences compared. The A-proteins of the typical A. salmonicida ssp. salmonicida strains were shown to be identical, while amino acid variability was revealed among A-proteins of atypical strains. The highest amino acid variability appears to be in a predicted surface exposed region and is believed to result in antigenic differences among the atypical strains of A. salmonicida.

Some viruses can suppress superinfections of their host cells by related or different virus species. The phenomenon of superinfection exclusion can be caused by inhibiting virus attachment, receptor binding and entry, by replication interference, or competition for host cell resources. Blocking attachment and entry not only prevents unproductive double infections but also stops newly produced virions from re-entering the cell post-exocytosis.

is the causative agent of atypical vibriosis in salmonids cultured in Chile. While extensive research provides insights into through phenotypic, antigenic, and genetic typing, as well as various virulence mechanisms, proteomic characterization remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to advance the proteomic knowledge of Chilean Vo-LM-18 and its OMVs, which have known virulence.

Background: A Parvovirus B19 (B19V) outbreak has been reported in Europe in 2023-2024. The aims of this study were 1) to describe the incidence of primary cases from 2012 to 2024 in one French hospital 2) to analyze the genome of 2023 strains 3) to identify virological profiles according to the clinical presentations of B19V infection.
Methods: The incidence of B19V primary cases was studied through an interrupted time-series analysis.

Importance: This study is essential for comprehending the zoonotic transmission, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic diversity of enteropathogenic (EPEC).
Objective: To improve our understanding of EPEC, this study focused on analyzing and comparing the genomic characteristics of EPEC isolates from humans and companion animals in Korea.
Methods: The whole genome of 26 EPEC isolates from patients with diarrhea and 20 EPEC isolates from companion animals in Korea were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq X (Illumina, USA) and Oxford Nanopore MinION (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, UK) platforms.

The aim of this study was to investigate the activity of thymoquinone (TQ), carvacrol (CAR) and thymol (TYM) against multi-drug resistant nontuberculous mycobacteria (MDR-NTM), alone and in combination with berberine (BER). Antimicrobial activity was first evaluated at concentrations from 8 to 512 μg/mL. Each of the compounds tested exhibited good activity against nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolated from fish, with MIC values of 32-128 μg/mL.
