AI Article Synopsis
- * The phage exhibits low similarity to existing phages, only closely related to phiCD24-1, indicating its unique genetic profile.
- * Genomic analysis revealed 66 predicted open reading frames (ORFs), with 37 linked to functional proteins, contributing to the understanding of the genetic diversity of tailed phages.
Article Abstract
A temperate siphovirus, phiCDKH01, was obtained from a clinical isolate of Clostridioides difficile. The phage genome is a 45,089-bp linear double-stranded DNA molecule with an average G+C content of 28.7%. It shows low similarity to known phage genomes, except for phiCD24-1. Genomic and phylogenetic analysis revealed that phiCDKH01 is a newly discovered phage. Sixty-six putative ORFs were predicted in the genome, 37 of which code for proteins with predicted functions. The phiCDKH01 prophage was localized in the host genome. The results of this study increase our knowledge about the genetic diversity of tailed phages.

Insights into incompatible plasmids in multidrug-resistant Raoultella superbugs.
BMC Microbiol

State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Beijing, 100071, China.
The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Raoultella isolates is linked to the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) with plasmids playing a pivotal role in this process. While plasmid-mediated transmission of ARGs in Raoultella has been extensively reported, limited attention has been given to genetically dissecting the modular structures of plasmids. This study aims to elucidate the genomic features of novel incompatible plasmids in MDR Raoultella by presenting 13 complete plasmid sequences from four isolates, along with an analysis of 16 related plasmids from GenBank.

Cuproptosis is a newly discovered form of non-apoptotic cell death. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can secrete various bioactive substances, including exosomes, to promote tumor progression. However, the impact of CAFs on the regulation of copper metabolism and cuproptosis in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) has not been investigated.

Alvarezsauria is a group of morphologically distinctive, medium- to small-sized later-diverging coelurosaurian theropod dinosaurs, whose record ranges from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous. This clade had a widespread distribution in Laurasia in what is now Europe, Asia, and North America, although there are also several Cretaceous taxa from Gondwana in what is now Argentina that all belong to the family Alvarezsauridae. Although alvarezsaurid taxonomic diversity and anatomical knowledge has expanded over the last decade, alvarezsaurid internal phylogenetic relationships remain highly debated.

Coronaviruses (CoV) emerge suddenly from animal reservoirs to cause novel diseases in new hosts. Discovered in 2012, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is endemic in camels in the Middle East and is continually causing local outbreaks and epidemics. While all three newly emerging human CoVs from the past 20 years (SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV) cause respiratory disease, each CoV has unique host interactions that drive differential pathogeneses.
