The agglutinating properties of MCA-O1 of the IgG class and MCA-O139 of the IgM class towards epitopes of O-antigen of Vibrio cholerae O1 and accordingly Vibrio cholerae O139 were studied. The ascitic and cultural fluids by hybridomas F8G12 and D11 deposited in the specialized Collection of Cell Cultures of Vertebrates (Saint Petersburg) under RKKK (II) 386 D and RKKK (II) 674 D were the sources of monoclonal immunoglobulins. The advantage of diagnostic monoclonal immunoglobulins is that they are distinguished for strict specificity and their use in practical health care contributes to the higher specificity of a laboratory test for cholera and to its shorter performance.

Objective: This study aims to explore the therapeutic mechanism of Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF) with different formulations on spleen deficiency constipation in mice by analyzing gastrointestinal hormones, D-xylose, intestinal microbiota, and intestinal enzyme activities.
Methods: A spleen deficiency constipation model was established using an oral administration of Sennae Folium decoction combined with controlled diet and water intake. After successful model establishment, the mice with spleen deficiency constipation were treated with MMF S1, S2, S3.

Marine mucilage disasters, primarily caused by global warming and marine pollution, threaten food security and the sustainability of marine food resources. This study assessed the microbial risks to public health in common sole, deep-water rose shrimp, European anchovy, Atlantic horse mackerel and Mediterranean mussel following the mucilage disaster in the Sea of Marmara in 2021. The total viable count, total Enterobacteriaceae count and the presence of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp.

Zambia experienced the largest cholera epidemic in the country's history in 2023-2024; however, the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Vibrio cholerae during the epidemic is unknown. A total of 2,384 stool samples were collected from suspected cholera cases in Eastern, Lusaka, and Luapula provinces in Zambia from January 2023 to March 2024. Among them, 549 (23.

We observed that an exonuclease VII ( ) mutant of failed to grow on TCBS agar, suggesting that DNA repair mutant strains may be hampered for growth in this selective media. Examination of the selective components of TCBS revealed that bile acids were primarily responsible for toxicity of the mutant.

Bacteria are constantly threatened by their viral predators (phages), which has resulted in the development of defense systems for bacterial survival. One family of defense systems found widely across bacteria are OLD (for overcoming lysogeny defect) family nucleases. Despite recent discoveries regarding Class 2 and 4 OLD family nucleases and how phages overcome them, Class 1 OLD family nucleases warrant further study as there has only been one anti-phage Class 1 OLD family nuclease described to date.
