Introduction: Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) is a highly pathogenic, drug-resistant, and transmissible "superbug" that causes infections in hospitals and communities. Because of the lack of effective antimicrobial treatment options, morbidity and mortality from CR-hvKP infections have increased dramatically, and outbreaks and the rapid spread of CR-hvKP in hospitals have become a major global public health challenge.
Methods: The mechanisms of molecular evolution in CR-hvKP include the acquisition of a hypervirulent plasmid encoding a virulence gene by carbapenemase-producing K pneumoniae, the horizontal transfer of plasmids carrying carbapenem resistance genes to hvKP, and the acquisition of fusion plasmids carrying both carbapenem resistance genes and hypervirulent genes by classic K pneumoniae.

Muscadine grapes are renowned for their unique traits, natural disease resistance, and rich bioactive compounds. Despite extensive research on their phytochemical properties, microbial communities, particularly endophytic bacteria, remain largely unexplored. These bacteria play crucial roles in plant health, stress tolerance, and ecological interactions.

However, the safety of genetically modified MSCs remains poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the general toxicity and safety of Wharton's Jelly-Derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs) engineered to express the antimicrobial peptide SE-33 in an animal model.

Unlabelled: , previously misidentified as , was first described as a new species in 2020. In this study, we aimed to describe the clinical relevance of by combining clinical data, antibiotic susceptibility profiles, and biofilm formation in isolates obtained from hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. We established a collection of 129 .

Unlabelled: This study investigated the prevalence and co-occurrence of antimicrobial (AMR) and metal resistance (MR) in aquatic environments with different human impacts. Metagenomes from pristine, rural and urban sites in Australia were analyzed with AMR ++ and customized binning pipelines. AMR was present in all environments, while MR was mainly in rural and urban samples.
