In this issue of Cell Reports, Ma et al. identify causative regulatory links between self-organization in surface-attached bacterial colonies and the rate of horizontal gene transfers (conjugations) and subsequent selection of the newly arising population of recipient bacteria (transconjugants).

The rise of carbapenem-resistant coharboring KPC-2 and NDM-1 poses a significant public health threat. KPC-2-NDM-1- is rarely reported in clinical settings. In this study, we report the largest cohort of eight KPC-2-NDM-1- isolated from children with urinary tract infections.

Unlabelled: Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease that causes severe disease in both domestic and wild ungulates and humans, making it a significant threat to livestock and public health. The RVFV genome consists of three single-stranded, negative-sense RNA segments differing in size: small (S), medium (M), and large (L). Segment S encodes the virus nucleoprotein N and the virulence-associated factor non-structural (NSs) protein in opposite orientations, separated by an intergenic region (IGR).

Current plasmid propagation in E. coli compromises large inverted repeats, such as inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of adeno-associated virus (AAV). Direct long-read sequencing analyses upon varying strains and culture conditions revealed ITR instability caused by a slipped misalignment mechanism, although other mechanism probably contribute.

Klebsiella phage are highly selective in targeting a bacterial capsule type. Considering the numerous Kp capsule types and other host restriction factors, phage treatment could be facilitated when generating phages with a broad host range.

These environmental changes pose significant risks at the microbial level, affecting nutrient cycling and productivity, and thereby impacting river ecosystem health. The next-generation sequencing technology using a metagenomics approach has revolutionized our understanding of the microbiome and its critical role in various aquatic environments.
