Article Abstract
This study aims to synthesize silver nanoparticles by the green method and test it against specific virulence factors in multi-drug resistant Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. virulence factors of E. faecalis clinical isolates were determined and the most potent isolate was selected for further investigations. The prepared Ag-NPs were characterized using UV spectroscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The result revealed the concentration of 0.0625 mg/ml Ag-NPs was significantly reducing virulence factors in multidrug-resistant E. faecalis without affecting planktonic cell growth. UV-Visible spectroscopy characterization revealed a characteristic surface Plasmon band [SPR] at a wavelength ranging from 256 to 345 and 510 nm in the prepared Ag-NPs. dynamic light scattering indicated it tended to an electrostatic attraction between nanoparticles in the prepared solution. TEM images revealed the average size of Ag-NPs were prepared to be 28.8 nm and the shape was spherical. Green synthesized Ag-NPs have the ability to combat multi-drug-resistant E. faecalis via reducing virulence factors, which is considered a good approach toward resolving the multidrug resistance crisis.

Over a decade since its discovery, piscine myocarditis virus (PMCV) remains a significant pathogen in Atlantic salmon aquaculture. Despite this significant impact, the genomic landscape, evolutionary dynamics, and virulence factors of PMCV are poorly understood. This study enhances the existing PMCV sequence dataset by adding 34 genome sequences and 202 new ORF3 sequences from clinical cardiomyopathy syndrome (CMS) cases in Norwegian aquaculture.

Unlabelled: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), largely caused by uropathogenic (UPEC), are increasingly resistant to antibiotics and frequently recur. Using immunoinformatics, we designed a multiepitope peptide vaccine targeting UPEC virulence factors, including iron acquisition systems and adhesins. The construct features 12 cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitopes, six helper T lymphocyte epitopes, and six B-cell epitopes,and isoptimized for high antigenicity, immunogenicity, nontoxic, and low allergenic potential.

Advances in bacteriophage genome sequencing and regulatory approvals of some bacteriophages in various applications have renewed interest in these antibacterial viruses as a potential solution to persistent food safety challenges. Here, we analyzed in depth the genome of the previously studied bacteriophage OSYSP (phage OSYSP), revealed its application-related characteristics, and optimized its enumeration techniques for facilitating industrial implementation. We previously sequenced phage OSYSP genome completely by combining results from Illumina Miseq and Ion Torrent sequencing platforms and completing the remaining sequence gaps using PCR.

Introduction: The widespread clinical and environmental dissemination of successful clones of carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) represents a serious global public health threat. In this context, lytic bacteriophages have emerged as a promising alternative for controlling these pathogens. This study describes the biological, structural, and genomic characteristics of lytic bacteriophages against the high-risk CRKP clones CG258 and ST307 and describes their performance in combination.
