is a rare opportunistic bacterium not commonly found in healthy individuals or animals has increasing clinical significance in both veterinary and human medicine due to its multidrug resistance and biofilm-forming ability. This study analyzed 12 isolates of collected from humans and cats and identified them using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and and partial B gene sequencing. All of the were phenotypically resistant to penicillin, and almost all (except one human strain) were resistant to methicillin. Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed a high prevalence of multidrug resistance in all human strains with frequent resistance to β-lactams, macrolides, and tetracyclines. A comparative analysis of human and feline isolates indicated the presence of shared resistance genes such as , , and . Biofilm production varied across isolates, with more potent biofilm formation abilities observed at elevated temperatures (39 °C) and time (48 h). These findings underscore the potential zoonotic risks of and its role in managing multidrug-resistant infections.

Objective: This study aimed to predict and evaluate the efficacy of various polymyxin B dosing regimens for Gram-negative bacteremia using Monte Carlo simulation, with a specific focus on assessing the efficacy in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). The goal was to optimize clinical dosing regimens and guide rational polymyxin B use in practice.
Methods: A total of 1,939 Gram-negative bacterial strains were analyzed, collected between April 2019 and December 2021 through the China Bloodstream Gram-negative Pathogens Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence Surveillance Network (CARVIS-NET).

Objective: Bloodstream infections(BSIs) caused by carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) have a high mortality rate due to the high levels of drug resistance. There is an urgent need to establish a sensitive and accurate detection method to rapidly detect CRAB in BSIs.
Methods: A new method was developed based on fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) targeting the specific region of 16sRNA and OXA-23 gene from CRAB.

Introduction: is an important foodborne pathogen that can induce severe diseases such as gastrointestinal disease and typhoid fever. Accumulating evidence revealed that 's resistance to antibiotics also seriously affects human health. Pathogenic serovar Goldcoast ( Goldcoast) was first detected in 2010 in China and was predicted to have an increasing tendency.

Heteroresistance has seriously affected the evaluation of antibiotic efficacy against pathogenic bacteria, causing misjudgment of antibiotics' sensitivity in clinical therapy, leading to treatment failure, and posing a serious threat to current medical health. However, the mechanism of heteroresistance to ciprofloxacin remains unclear. In this study, heteroresistance to ciprofloxacin in strain 529 was confirmed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing and population analysis profiling (PAP), with the resistance of subclonal 529_HR based on MIC being 8-fold that of the original bacteria.
