Published: October 2023

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 system has been developed as a robust genome engineering tool in a variety of organisms attributed to its high efficiency and versatility. In this chapter, we described the detailed procedures of CRISPR-Cas9-based genetic manipulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, including precise gene deletion and insertion via Cas9-mediated DNA double-strand break and homologous recombination repair. In addition, we provided a detailed protocol for cytidine base editor, a highly efficient gene inactivation and point mutation tool in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Outbreak of perichondritis associated with ear piercings and a contaminated water system.

Epidemiol Infect

January 2025

Health Protection Operations, South West, UK Health Security Agency, Bristol, UK.

In September 2023, the UK Health Security Agency's (UKHSA) South West Health Protection Team received notification of patients with perichondritis. All five cases had attended the same cosmetic piercing studio and a multi-disciplinary outbreak control investigation was subsequently initiated. An additional five cases attending the same studio were found.

Background: Nosocomial pneumonia is a significant healthcare challenge, particularly in the face of rising antimicrobial resistance among Gram-negative bacteria. The production of extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) exacerbates treatment complexities.

Aim: This study investigates the prevalence and resistance patterns of ESBL-producing and non-ESBL Gram-negative bacteria in nosocomial pneumonia cases in Georgian hospitals to inform antibiotic stewardship and treatment strategies.

Valorization of mixed blackwater/agricultural wastes for bioelectricity and biohydrogen production: A microbial treatment pathway.

Heliyon

January 2025

African Centre of Excellence in Future Energies and Electrochemical Systems (ACE-FUELS), Federal University of Technology, Owerri, PMB 1526, Imo State, Nigeria.

The management of wastewater and agricultural wastes has been limited by the separate treatment processes, which exacerbate pollution and contribute to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. Given the energy demands and financial burdens of traditional treatment facilities, there is a pressing need for technologies that can concurrently treat solid waste and generate energy. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of producing bioelectricity and biohydrogen through the microbial treatment of blackwater and agricultural waste using a dual-chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC).

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen belonging to the γ-proteobacteria family, known to cause pneumonia linked with ventilator use and nosocomial infections. With the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, there is a pressing need to identify alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Plant-derived substances (PDSs) offer potential not only as antibacterial agents but also as modulators of antibiotic resistance.

Objectives: To evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of recent Gram-negative pathogens collected from pediatric patients to imipenem/relebactam (IMI/REL) and comparator agents.

Methods: From 2018 to 2022, 254 hospitals in 62 countries collected Enterobacterales or P. aeruginosa isolates from patients <18 years old as part of the SMART global surveillance program.
