Background: The epidemiology of salmonellosis is complex because of the diversity and different serotypes of Salmonella enterica (S. enterica) that occur in different reservoirs and geographic incidences.
Objectives: To determine the genotype distribution and resistance-gene content of 2 classes of integron among S. enterica isolates.
Methods: Thirty-six S. enterica species were isolated and tested for their serological distribution and the resistance-gene contents of 2 classes of integron, as well as for their genetic diversity, using the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) genotyping method.
Results: Serogroups E (36.1%) and D (30.5%) were dominant among the isolates. All of the isolates in serogroup D belonged to the serovar enteritidis. The aadA1 gene was found within all resistance-gene cassettes. We observed 4 common and 26 single pulsotypes among the isolates, which indicated a high degree of genetic diversity among the isolates. Using the PulseNet International standard protocol, it was found that these isolates were different from those reported previously in Iran.
Conclusions: The presence of a few common and new pulsotypes among the isolates suggests the emergence and spread of new clones of S. enterica in Iran.

This study seeks to improve the biomass extractability of Sorghum bicolor by targeting a critical enzyme, 4CL, through metabolic engineering of the lignin biosynthetic pathway at the post-transcriptional level. Sorghum bicolor L., a significant forage crop, offers a potential source of carbohydrate components for biofuel production.

Brown planthoppers (BPHs, Stål) are a major threat to rice cultivation in Asia, necessitating the development of pest-resistant varieties for effective management. However, the adaptability of BPHs has resulted in the development of virulent populations, such as biotype Y BPHs, which exhibit significant virulence against the rice variety YHY15 that harbors the resistance gene . The various response mechanisms of BPH populations to resistant rice varieties are critical yet underexplored.

The treatment of infections caused by Staphylococcus hominis remains a challenge, mainly due to the increasing resistance of these bacteria to antibiotics. The aim of the study was to determine antibiotic resistance in 62 strains S. hominis isolated from clinical materials, and to identify the molecular basis of resistance to antibiotics.

Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene cassettes are genetic segments that can be captured and rearranged by integrons, allowing organisms to adapt to antibiotic pressures, and these integrons exist in both chromosomes and plasmids.
- This study focuses on a specific AMR gene, linked to a class A carbapenemase first detected in Greece, to analyze global patterns of integron diversity using a novel pangenome graph-based method.
- Findings reveal chromosomal integrons are more consistent and conserved in structure, mainly found in a specific strain (ST235), while plasmid-associated integrons display more variability, suggesting that plasmids may facilitate more dynamic genetic recombination.

Salmonella as a foodborne pathogen, has a very important impact on human health. This study characterized the serotype, plasmid replicon, MLST typing, resistance phenotype and resistance gene of 282 strains of Salmonella isolated from the environment, animals, foods, and patients in China. These strains are classified into four sources: poultry farms (39/282), animals (30/282), foods (164/282), and hospitals (49/282) their resistance to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and ceftazidime is gradually increasing.
