Introduction: is a notorious foodborne pathogen, frequently contaminating powdered infant formula and causing life-threatening diseases in infants. The escalating emergence of antibiotics-resistant mutants has led to increased interest in using bacteriophage as an alternative antimicrobial agent.

Methods: Two phages, CR8 and S13, were isolated from feces and soil samples and their morphology, physiology, and genomics were characterized.

We present lung virome data recovered through shotgun metagenomics in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from an infant with cystic fibrosis, who tested positive for infection. Using a bioinformatic pipeline for virus characterization in shotgun metagenomic data, we identified five viral contigs representing Pseudomonas phages classified as Caudoviricetes.

Existing microbiota databases are biased toward adult samples, hampering accurate profiling of the infant gut microbiome. Here, we generated a metagenome-assembled genome inventory for children (MAGIC) from a large collection of bulk and viral-like particle-enriched metagenomes from 0 to 7 years of age, encompassing 3,299 prokaryotic and 139,624 viral species-level genomes, 8.5% and 63.

To improve the management level of general anesthesia during bronchoscopy in the children with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). A retrospective study was conducted in the children with DAH who had performed bronchoscopy under general anesthesia with spontaneous respiration by face mask ventilation initially from June 2021 to June 2022 in our hospital. (1) Thirty-four children who had underwent 38 bronchoscopy procedures were included.

Article Synopsis
  • Hospital disinfectants at low concentrations can promote bacterial survival and resistance, as seen in a study with Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from infants.
  • Exposure to these disinfectants resulted in a notable percentage of strains developing resistance, while some strains became sensitive to certain antibiotics after initial resistance.
  • The findings highlight the risk of improper disinfectant use, potentially leading to new antibiotic-resistant bacteria in healthcare settings, which could complicate infection control measures.
