Acinetobacter pittii 44551 was recovered from a patient with gout combined with tuberculosis and was found to harbor the carbapenemase genes blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-58 on two different plasmids pNDM-44551 and pOXA58-44551, respectively. pNDM-44551 displayed high self-transferability across multiple bacterial species, while pOXA58-44551 was likely co-transferable with pNDM-44551 into A. baumannii receipts. pNDM-44551 was a close variant of the previously characterized pNDM-BJ01, and the blaNDM-1 gene cluster was arranged sequentially as orfA, ISAba14, aphA6, ISAba125, blaNDM-1, bleMBL, ΔtrpF, dsbC, tnpR, and zeta. pOXA58-44551 was a repAci9-containing plasmid, and blaOXA-58 was embedded in a 372F-ISAba3-like-blaOXA-58-ISAba3 structure. The mobile genetic platforms of blaNDM-1 and blaOXA-58 herein showed some differences from their previously characterized variants. The production of NDM-1 in strain 44551 contributed the majority to its high resistance to carbapenems, while the blaOXA-58 stayed silent most likely due to the lack of an upstream promoter to drive its transcription. Increased surveillance of Acinetobacter co-harboring blaNDM-1 (active) and blaOXA-58 (either active or silent) is urgently needed.

Objective: The IMP-4 carbapenemase is an endemic cause of carbapenem resistance in the Asia-Pacific region. Our aim was to determine the dissemination mechanism of the bla gene.
Methods: Twelve representative Australian IMP-4 clinical isolates from The Alfred Hospital, were characterised using antimicrobial susceptibility testing and genome and plasmid assemblies analysed.

Drought stress has a significant impact on agricultural productivity, affecting key crops such as soybeans, the second most widely cultivated crop in the United States. Endophytic and rhizospheric microbial diversity analyses were conducted with soybean plants cultivated during the 2023 growing season amid extreme weather conditions of prolonged high temperatures and drought in Louisiana. Specifically, surviving and non-surviving soybean plants were collected from two plots of a Louisiana soybean field severely damaged by extreme heat and drought conditions in 2023.

Pharmaceutical and aquaculture wastewater contains not only antibiotics but also high concentrations of nitrogen, but few studies have been conducted on bacteria that target this complex pollution for degradation. A novel heterotrophic nitrifying aerobic denitrifying (HN-AD) strain Acinetobacter pittii TR1 isolated from soil. When the C/N ratio was 20, the strain could degrade 50 mg/L roxithromycin (ROX) and the nitrogen removal rate was 96.

Background: Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are an integral part of agricultural practices due to their roles in promoting plant growth, improving soil conditions, and suppressing diseases. However, researches on the PGPR in the rhizosphere of carrots, an important vegetable crop, is relative limited. Therefore, this study aimed to isolate and characterize PGPR strains from the rhizosphere soil of greenhouse-grown carrots, with a focus on their potential to stimulate carrot growth.
