We present the draft genome sequences of nine hospital-associated methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MSSA) strains. All strains were from Minnesota (eight from blood and one from bone), harbored various virulence genes, and showed diverse multilocus sequence typing and types.

Psychodinae (Diptera: Psychodidae), commonly known as "drain flies", are a subfamily of insects adapted to environments modified by humans. While often regarded as harmless, it has been reported that they may carry pathogenic microorganisms, contributing to hospital environmental contamination and potentially playing a role in healthcare-associated infections. This study aimed to investigate drain flies in a hospital setting to assess their role in carrying microbial pathogens.

Introduction: Enterococci are considered opportunistic pathogens. However, they can serve as a reservoir of antibacterial resistance (ABR) traits and transfer these to humans through the food chain.
Methods: Antibiotic susceptibility testing and multilocus sequence typing were used to characterize the ABR and population structure of 488 enterococcal isolates recovered along the food chain from four provincial-level administrative divisions (PLADs) in China.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates MRSA prevalence and molecular epidemiology in livestock farmers, animals, and livestock products in southern Sri Lanka, using a One Health approach that connects human, animal, and environmental health.
- It found a low MRSA colonization prevalence in the region, with 24.0% in farms and 7.9% in farmers, while identifying two new MRSA clones in human and animal samples, but no livestock-associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) clones.
- The research underscores the need for ongoing MRSA surveillance to track transmission dynamics between humans and animals within the One Health framework.

Background: Hospital-associated infection (HAI) is an important issue in intensive care units (ICUs). We still lack direct evidence on whether the ICU patients and/or the medical system can benefit from single isolated laminar-air-flow (LAF) wards.
Methods: High-touched-surface (HTS) swabs from 5 sites in two kinds of wards with different ventilation systems were longitudinally collected for 16 S rRNA sequencing and Type IIB restriction site-associated DNA sequencing for Microbiome (2bRAD-M).
