AI Article Synopsis
- A novel strain of bacteria named C5-26 was isolated from soil in a cave in Jeju, Korea, characterized as Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming cocci.
- The strain's genetic analysis revealed unique features, including a specific peptidoglycan type and a distinct fatty acid composition, alongside a draft genome size of 5.32 Mbp with a G+C content of 67.1%.
- Phylogenetic studies indicated that C5-26 belongs to a new genus and species within its family, proposing the name for the novel strain as a result of this comprehensive polyphasic analysis.
Article Abstract
A novel Gram-stain-positive, actinobacterial strain, designated C5-26, was isolated from soil from a natural cave in Jeju, Republic of Korea, and its taxonomic position was investigated using a polyphasic approach. The organism was aerobic, and cells were non-spore-forming, non-motile cocci that occurred singly, in pairs, in triplets, in tetrads, in short chains or in irregular clusters. Colonies of the cells were circular, convex, entire and white. The peptidoglycan type was A4α with an l-Ser-d-Asp interpeptide bridge. The whole-cell sugars comprised glucose, rhamnose, mannose, arabinose, galactose and ribose. The major menaquinone was MK-8(H). The polar lipids contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unidentified phospholipid. The major fatty acids were iso-C and iso-C h. The size of the draft genome was 5.32 Mbp with depth of coverage of 161×. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 67.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the novel isolate belonged to the family and formed a distinct subcluster at the base of the radiation of the genus . Highest sequence similarities of the novel isolate were found to the type strains of (96.2 %), (95.4 %), (95.4 %) and (95.3 %). The whole genome-based phylogeny supported the novelty of the isolate at the genus level in the family . On the basis of data from this polyphasic study, strain C5-26 (=KCTC 39632=DSM 108676) represents a novel species of a new genus in the family , for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

The aging population presents critical challenges to global healthcare systems, with Japan expected to have 35% of its population aged 65 or older by 2040. Older adults often experience multimorbidity, cognitive impairments, and physical frailties, increasing healthcare utilization and costs. Traditional medical approaches that focus on organ-specific diagnoses are insufficient for addressing these multifaceted needs.

This study validated these scales and explored factors that could improve their predictive accuracy among Japanese home health care patients.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study.
Despite being increasingly adopted in various regions, the model of Hospital-at-home can still appear to be confusing to many healthcare workers. The authors examined and summarized the existing concepts and implementations of Hospital-at-home. How Hospital-at-home contrasts to traditional inpatient models were outlined.

Uropygi is an order of arachnids commonly known as vinegaroons or whip-scorpions. So far, two genera are known to occur in Brazil: Thelyphonellus Pocock, 1894 and Mastigoproctus Pocock, 1894. We examined the morphology of 182 specimens of Brazilian Mastigoproctus and sequenced 42 specimens for phylogenetic analyses, using mitochondrial and nuclear molecular markers.

Dual therapies (DT) combining integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) with second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (2nd-Gen-NNRTIs) offer new possibilities for HIV treatment to improve adherence. However, drug resistance associated mutations (RAMs) to prior antiretrovirals may jeopardize the efficacy of DT. We herein describe the predicted efficacy of DT combining INSTIs + 2nd-Gen-NNRTI following treatment failure among Cameroonian patients.
