We whole-genome sequence a drug-resistant strain (PANU108) isolated in 2020 from an elderly male patient admitted to an intensive care unit with bloodstream infection in Khartoum, Sudan. The analysis of the sequenced data revealed that the strain is sequence type 319 (ST319) and carrying 11 acquired resistance genes belonging to 5 drug classes. Interestingly, we found that PANU108 strain harbouring resistance gene. To the best of our knowledge, this the first report of a producing Tripoli Metallo-β-lactamase 1 (TMB-1) resistance determinant.

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are a diverse phylum of photosynthetic, Gram-negative bacteria and one of the largest microbial taxa. These organisms produce cyanotoxins, which are secondary metabolites that can have significant impacts on both human health and the environment. While toxins like Microcystins and Cylindrospermopsins are well-documented and have been extensively studied, other cyanotoxins, including those produced by and , remain underexplored.

(1) Background: Kiwifruit is a globally valued fruit. Its industrial processing produces a substantial amount of waste, particularly peels, which present an appealing potential source of bioactive compounds. This study focuses on optimizing the extraction of phenolics from kiwi peels using a water bath (WB) and infrared irradiation (IR) and assessing their biological activities.

Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Balamand, Tripoli, Lebanon. Electronic address:
Objective: Multidrug-resistant bacteria, including carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), are considered a major public health threat, particularly those which are responsible for nosocomial infections. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of carbapenem resistance and the clonal relationship of CRAB isolates of a probable outbreak in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Saydet Zgharta University Medical Center, in north Lebanon.
Methods: Thirty-two non-duplicate CRAB isolates were collected from patients hospitalised in the ICU.
Solid-State NMR Study of Hydrochars Produced from Hydrothermal Carbonization of Poultry Litter.
ACS Omega
November 2024
Laboratory of Carbon and Ceramic Materials, Department of Physics, Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), Av. Fernando Ferrari 514, 29075-910 Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil.
Poultry litter (PL) hydrochars obtained at different temperatures and charring times were characterized by solid-state H, C and P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. C NMR spectra obtained with cross polarization (CP) and magic-angle spinning evidenced the chemical and structural changes suffered by PL during its transformation into hydrochar; these changes were particularly dependent on the production temperature rather than the residence time. The hydrochars were essentially composed of aromatic and alkyl domains at the temperature of 250 °C.
