Site-directed mutagenesis is a very important technique in molecular biological researches. We have developed a new method for long distance multiple-site plasmid mutation by one-step PCR using non-overlap primers. These primers were carefully designed and contained desired mutations in the middle of the primers flanked with 18-25 bp of correct sequence. One pair of the primers was able to generate a short megaprimer. Decreases in the concentrations of these primers increased efficiency of the multiple-site plasmid mutation. All of the mutant PCRs were performed at a common annealing temperature at 55 °C. This method could be widely used in all multiple-site plasmid mutations.

Mutational study is a cornerstone methodology in biochemistry and genetics, and many mutagenesis strategies have been invented to promote the efficiency of gene engineering. In this study, we developed a simple and timesaving approach to integrate simultaneous mutagenesis at discrete sites. By using plasmid as a template and compatible oligonucleotide primers per the QuikChange strategy, our method was able to introduce multiple nucleotide insertions, deletions and replacements in one round of polymerase chain reaction.

The emergence of hypervirulent (hvKp) poses a significant public health threat, particularly regarding its carriage in the healthy population. However, the genomic epidemiological characteristics and population dynamics of hvKp within a single patient across distinct infection episodes remain largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the clonal replacement of hvKp K2-ST881 and K54-ST29 lineage strains in a single patient experiencing multiple-site infections during two independent episodes.

Background: The emergence of the ST11-CRKP (ST11-CRKP) strain is expected to become a serious public health problem in China. As one of the most serious complications in patients with acute myeloid lymphoma, infections can cause systemic infection and life-threatening sepsis, seriously affecting the morbidity, mortality, and quality of life of patients. Thus, ST11-CRKP infections in patients with acute myeloid lymphoma are worthy of our attention.

Article Synopsis
- The industrial yeast platform is effective for producing heterologous proteins due to its strong protein expression capabilities.
- Genome editing for these proteins is challenging, but a new technique using phage SSAP and SSB proteins allows for efficient CRISPR-based genome engineering.
- The study enhanced α-lactalbumin production in yeast by integrating multiple genes through this method, achieving significantly higher production levels compared to previous strains.
Background: Most patients who undergo radiotherapy develop radiation skin injury, for which effective treatment is urgently needed. MnSOD defends against reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage and may be valuable for treating radiation-induced injury. Here, we (i) investigated the therapeutic and preventive effects of local multiple-site injections of a plasmid, encoding human MnSOD, on radiation-induced skin injury in rats and (ii) explored the mechanism underlying the protective effects of pMnSOD.
