() is bovine mastitis pathogen and has thus became a matter of concern to dairy farms worldwide in terms of economic loss. The aims of this study were to (a) determine virulence genes, and (b) characterize the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles and AMR genes and (c) figure out the relationship between AMR phenotypes and genotypes of isolated from dairy cows in north China. A total of 20 virulence genes and 23 AMR genes of 140 isolates collected from 12 farms in six provinces were studied. The antimicrobial susceptibility of 10 veterinary commonly used antimicrobials were tested using the broth microdilution method. Results showed that all the isolates harbored the virulence genes IV, , and . The isolates that harbored the genes , , , and exhibited the high prevalence (99.29%), followed by isolates that harbored I (98.57%), (97.86%), (97.14%), II (92.14%), (52.14%), (25%), (2.14%), and (0.71%). The , , , , and genes were not detected. The virulence patterns of B (___ ___ __) and C (__ _ _ _) were dominant, accounting for 97.86% of the isolates. The following AMR genes were prevalent: (97.14%), (M) (95.00%), (A) (80.71%), (B) (75.00%), (O) (72.14%), (49.29%), (S) (29.29%), (25.71%), (A) (17.14%), (C) (13.57%), (L) (10.71%), (2.86%), and (TR) (2.86%). The , , , (D), (F/G/Q), and (A) genes were not detected. Eighty percent of the isolates harbored AMR genes and were highly resistant to tetracycline, followed by macrolides (10.71%), lincosamides (9.29%) and β-lactams (4.29%). In conclusion, isolates only exhibited well correlation between tetracyclines resistance phenotype and genotype, and almost all isolates harbored intact combination of virulence genes.

Oxalic acid (OA), an essential pathogenic factor, has been identified in several plant pathogens, and researchers are currently pursuing studies on interference with OA metabolism as a treatment for related diseases. However, the metabolic route in remains unknown. In this study, we describe D-erythroascorbic acid-mediated OA synthesis and its metabolic and clearance pathways in rice blast fungus.

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a pregnancy-specific liver disease characterized by pruritus and elevated total bile acid (TBA) levels. The most serious impact of ICP is sudden unexplained intrauterine fetal death, especially when an associated TBA ≥ 100 µmol/L is confirmed.We report a case of a 27-year-old female patient with early-onset severe refractory ICP.

This study investigated the difference in survival among Listeria monocytogenes (LM) 10403S (highly pathogenic strain) and M7 (low pathogenic strain) in sausage under a simulated digestive environment, and established intestinal organoids and macrophages co-culture model to further explore the virulence expression difference to intestinal cells between LM 10403S and M7 after in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. Results showed that, compared with LM M7, LM 10403S exhibited a high survival rate during in vitro digestion, which may be due to the increased expression of stress response-related genes. In addition, the expression of virulence genes in LM 10403S was significantly higher than in LM M7 under the gastrointestinal environment.
