AI Article Synopsis
- * It identifies specific lineages, including ST258 (subclades I and II), ST11, ST340, and ST512, that are linked to IncFII KPC-containing plasmids.
- * The research suggests that these CC258 lineages may have a competitive edge compared to isolates carrying other types of KPC-harboring plasmids.
Article Abstract
This study was designed to determine the global distribution of clonal complex (CC) 258 and IncFII plasmids with among 522 global carbapenemase (KPC)-producing isolates. CC258 (i.e., ST258 [clades I and II], ST11, ST340, and ST512) and ST147 were statistically associated with IncFII KPC-containing plasmids and may possess an epidemiological advantage over isolates that harbored non-IncF KPC-harboring plasmids.

Most of the microbes in nature infrequently receive nutrients and are thus in slow- or non-growing states. How quickly they can resume their growth upon an influx of new resources is crucial to occupy environmental niches. Isogenic microbial populations are known to harbor only a fraction of cells with rapid growth resumption, yet little is known about the physiological characteristics of those cells and their emergence in the population.

Here we developed a unilateral whole-joint resection model in adult zebrafish to advance our understanding of how to stimulate regrowth of native synovial joint tissues. Using a combination of microCT, histological, live imaging, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) approaches after complete removal of all joint tissues, we find de novo regeneration of articular cartilage, ligament, and synovium into a functional joint.
