The most frequent cause of bacteraemia among Gram-negative bacteria is Escherichia coli. Analysis of the genes encoding the Shigella enterotoxin 1 (ShET-1), ShET-2, enteroaggregative heat stable toxin 1 (EAST-1) toxins and AggR factor in E. coli strains causing bacteraemia revealed that set1 genes were presented significantly more frequently among quinolone-susceptible strains (P<0.0001), in phylogenetic group B2 (P=0.0004) and in biofilm strains (P=0.02). In contrast, sen genes were significantly more frequent among nalidixic acid-resistant isolates (15% vs. 6%, P=0.046) and in phylogenetic group B1 (P=0.0001). This is the first study in which ShET1, ShET2 and EAST-1 have been found in E. coli collected from blood.

Pulsed dipolar electron paramagnetic resonance (PD-EPR) measurement is a powerful technique for characterizing the interactions and conformational changes of biomolecules. The extraction of these distance restraints from PD-EPR experiments relies on manipulation of spin-spin pairs. The orthogonal spin labeling approach offers unique advantages by providing multiple distances between different spin-spin pairs.

The biobased production of chemicals is essential for advancing a sustainable chemical industry. 1,5-Pentanediol (1,5-PDO), a five-carbon diol with considerable industrial relevance, has shown limited microbial production efficiency until now. This study presents the development and optimization of a microbial system to produce 1,5-PDO from glucose in Corynebacterium glutamicum via the l-lysine-derived pathway.

Background: Sepsis represents the most prevalent infectious complication and the primary cause of mortality in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). The risk of sepsis and the difficulty of treatment are significantly increased in MPN patients due to the need for immunomodulators and antibiotics.
Case Presentation: On June 9, 2023, a 69-year-old male was admitted to the hospital.
