Restriction-enzyme fragments that can replicate autonomously after circularization were isolated from the chimeric R/Ent plasmid pCG86 and the Ent plasmid P307. Two such regions containing a basic replicon were located in each plasmid. One of the basic replicons of P307, RepFIB, is almost identical with one of the basic replicons of pCG86. The other basic replicon in P307, RepFIC, is partly homologous with the second basic replicon in pCG86, RepFIIA/RepFIC. The latter is a hybrid basic replicon and is in addition partly homologous with RepFIIA, a basic replicon present in IncFII R plasmids. By restriction-enzyme mapping and nucleotide-sequence analysis we have determined a site in the hybrid replicon where it ceases to be homologous with the RepFIIA basic replicon contained in the IncFII miniplasmid pSM1. The 2410-bp region of homology with pSM1 corresponds with a segment containing the origin of replication and all the genes responsible for replication control of pSM1.

We report for the first time whole-genome sequencing of four multidrug-resistant sequence type (ST) 307 recovered from patients in two hospitals in Armenia. Comparative genomic analysis revealed that the isolates were closely related, with a maximum of 39 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) differences in the core genome. All Armenian isolates carried the integrative and conjugative element ICE4, which bears the yersiniabactin locus, and shared a common evolutionary origin, diverging around 2005 (95% CI: 1999 to 2011).

Protease inhibitors are among the most powerful antiviral drugs. They have been used successfully against viruses, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Protease inhibitor screening tools are therefore important to identify inhibitors that have the potential to become antiviral drugs.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the pathogenic potential and antibiotic resistance of Vibrio alfacsensis, previously thought to be harmless in marine aquaculture.
- The VA-1 strain, isolated from turbot aquaculture systems, showed it can cause systemic infection with symptoms and virulence similar to known Vibrio pathogens.
- The findings emphasize the strain's significant antibiotic resistance and potential for genetic exchange, highlighting the importance of monitoring pathogens and exploring alternative treatments in aquaculture.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on Klebsiella pneumoniae, a pathogen linked to mink pneumonia, aiming to analyze the whole genome of multi-drug resistant K2 serotype strains in China.
- The research identifies the strain as K2 serotype ST6189, revealing its high virulence with multiple resistance genes against various antibiotics and identifying key virulence factors like adhesins and iron uptake systems.
- The findings indicate a significant presence of hypervirulent and multi-drug resistant K. pneumoniae in mink, highlighting implications for mink farming practices in China.
Embryonic stem cells maintain high origin activity and slow forks to coordinate replication with cell cycle progression.

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and are thought to experience high levels of intrinsic replication stress. Here, by investigating replication fork dynamics in substages of S phase, we show that mammalian pluripotent stem cells maintain a slow fork speed and high active origin density throughout the S phase, with little sign of fork pausing.
