The biological properties of 106 S. typhi cultures were studied; of these, 59 cultures were isolated from 45 chronic carriers and 47 cultures, from 23 typhoid fever patients. According to the degree of their virulence (CPD50 in the continuous cell-line culture Hep-2), the strains isolated from the patients were more virulent than those isolated from the chronic carriers. The mean value of lg CPD50 was 5.76 +/- 0.04 for the patients and 6.86 +/- 0.03 for the chronic carriers. The strains isolated from the patients showed greater variability in the degree of their virulence. The study of the plasmid spectrum showed that 9.4 +/- 5.6% of the strains contained plasmids. From the patients plasmid-containing strains were isolated more frequently than from the carriers (14.9 +/- 2.5% and 5.1 +/- 2.9%). Multiresistance to antibiotics in combination with the presence of plasmids was detected in 6 strains isolated from the typhoid patients with morbidity having the character of outbreaks.

A novel bacterium, designated 19SA41, was isolated from the air of the Icelandic volcanic island Surtsey. Cells of strain 19SA41 are Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile rods and form pale yellow-pigmented colonies. The strain grows at 4-30 °C (optimum, 22 °C), at pH 6-10 (optimum, pH 7.

Metagenomes present a source for novel enzymes, but under 1% of environmental microbes are cultivatable. Because of its useful properties, Escherichia coli has been used as a host organism in functional genomic screens. However, due to differing expression machineries in the expression host compared to the source organism of the DNA sequences, screening outcomes can be biased.

Current hydrogel strain sensors have never been integrated into dynamic organ-on-a-chip (OOC) due to the lack of sensitivity in aqueous cell culture systems. To enhance sensing performance, a novel strain sensor is presented in which the MXene layer is coated on the bottom surface of a pre-stretched anti-swelling hydrogel substrate of di-acrylated Pluronic F127 (F127-DA) and chitosan (CS) for isolation from the cell culture on the top surface. The fabricated strain sensors display high sensitivity (gauge factor of 290.
