is the main pathogen of food-borne diarrheal in coastal areas. Through the study of pathogen characteristics of 1870 , the isolation rate of O4:KUT had increased significantly since 2013. In this study, we analyzed virulence, antimicrobial susceptibility, molecular, and epidemiological characteristics of a new serotype named O4:KUT2. O4:KUT2 strains had new characteristics and were prevalent during 2013-2015. The 91.5% O4:KUT2 serotype strains were resistant to ampicillin. The growth curves of O4:KUT2 strains were different with O4:K9, O4:K8, and O3:K6 serotype strains. O4:KUT2 strains belonged to ST332 where four strains had a large fragment inserted at . Compared the whole genomes of O4:KUT2 strains with O4:K9 strain which also belonged to ST322 isolated from acute diarrhea patients in Zhejiang province in 2012, no different alleles at 2249 loci was found. This finding implied that O4:KUT2 strains might be derived from O4:K9 strains. Clinical presentation of patients positive for O4:KUT2 were no significant difference with patients positive for O3:K6, although their genetic characteristics were different. The appearance and the increase of proportion of the new serotype O4:KUT2 strains was aware that we should not relax the monitoring of the pathogen spectrum of acute diarrheal patients.

Fluorescent biosensors offer a powerful tool for tracking and quantifying protein activity in living systems with high temporospatial resolution. However, the expression of genetically encoded fluorescent proteins can interfere with endogenous signaling pathways, potentially leading to developmental and physiological abnormalities. The EKAREV-NLS mouse model, which carries a FRET-based biosensor for monitoring extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activity, has been widely utilized both in vivo and in vitro across various cell types and organs.

Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is a major concern for pig producers, as stress and early weaning increase susceptibility to enteropathogens like enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium).

p-Coumaric acid (p-CA), an invaluable phytochemical, has novel bioactivities, including antiproliferative, anxiolytic, and neuroprotective effects, and is the main precursor of various flavonoids, such as caffeic acid, naringenin, and resveratrol. Herein, we report the engineering of Escherichia coli for de novo production of p-CA via the PAL-C4H pathway. As the base strain, we used the E.
