In order to explore the resistance and the staphylococcal chromosome cassette mec (SCCmec) types of Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) in the area of Haikou, 686 strains of MRSA had been distinguished from 1174 strains of S. aureus using PBP2a testing. The resistance to the seven deputies of seven kinds antibiotics which in common use in clinic, including Oxacillin, Vancomycin, Doxycyclin, Amikacin, Erythromycin, Chloramphenicol, Ciprofloxacin, and SCCmec type of 58 strains had been tested using the K-B Agar diffuse, E-test and multiplex PCR strategy, and seven kinds of new SCCmec types were found in 17 strains. Their specialties of structure are: type-new3 possess four loci of A, F, H, M; New4 possess three loci of F, H, M; New5 possess three loci of D, B, M; New6 possess three loci of A, B, M; New7 possess four loci of H, E, C, M; New8 possess two loci of A, M; New9 possess three loci of A, C, M. All of them are different from the types reported. The strains carrying new SCC mec types are different from that carrying old SCC mec types in the epidemical distribution and resistance to the antibiotics: they were mostly isolated from the out-patients and have high level and wider range of resistance to antibiotics and deserve to pay more attention.

Objective: Non-puerperal mastitis (NPM) is an inflammatory breast disease affecting women during non-lactation periods, and it is prone to relapse after being cured. Accurate prediction of its recurrence is crucial for personalized adjuvant therapy, and pathological examination is the primary basis for the classification, diagnosis, and confirmation of non-puerperal mastitis. Currently, there is a lack of recurrence models for non-puerperal mastitis.

Background: Fungus gardens of the termite Odontotermes formosanus, excavated from Iriomote Island, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, were subsequently incubated under laboratory conditions. A Xylaria species emerging from these fungus gardens was initially identified as X. angulosa, a species originally described from North Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Gloriosa L. possesses exceptional ornamental value, with its floral hues exhibiting a wide range of variations. In this study, we employed sophisticated colorimetry, Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and transcriptome sequencing to investigate the phenotypic expression of tepal colors, the composition of carotenoids and anthocyanins, and the differential gene expression in four Gloriosa varieties during their full bloom phase.

A strain identified as was isolated from Chinese sauerkraut, and its exopolysaccharide (EPS) exhibited excellent in vitro cholesterol-lowering bioactivity. Besides, the whole genome of this strain and the structure characteristics of the purified EPS were investigated in this study. Z171 presented a strong EPS production capacity, with five nucleotide sugar biosynthesis pathways regulated by an EPS synthesis gene cluster.
