Clinical features relating to pneumococcal colony phase variation in hospitalized adults with pneumonia
Conclusions. Opaque pneumococcal variants may cause pneumonia and invasive diseases in humans. This study could help elucidate IPD, and opacity assessment may serve as a predictor for IPD.PMID:38189377 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001784 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Genomic characterization of < em > Mycoplasma edwardii < /em > isolated from a dog bite induced cat wound reveals multiple horizontal gene transfer events and loss of the CRISPR/Cas system
J Med Microbiol. 2024 Jan;73(1). doi: 10.1099/jmm.0.001788.ABSTRACTA domestic short hair cat (Felis catus) suffering from a purulent wound infection resulting from a dog bite was sampled for bacterial culture and isolation as the wound had been unresponsive to prolonged antimicrobial treatment. A mycoplasma was isolated from the wound. Whole genome sequencing of the isolate was performed using short-read Illumina and long-read Oxford Nanopore chemistry, and the organism was identified as Mycoplasma edwardii. Comparison of the genome sequence of the isolate to a reference M. edwardii genome sequence (canid isolate) identifi...

Preliminary view of the distribution and spread of the plasmid-mediated resistance genes in < em > Glaesserella parasuis < /em >
Conclusions. This is the first report of the coexistence of tet(H)-bearing type I plasmid and lnu(C)-bearing type II plasmid in one G. parasuis clinical isolate. In addition, this study provides the first view of the global distribution of plasmid-mediated resistance genes and classifies the plasmids in G. parasuis according to their backbone regions.PMID:38112519 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001767 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Evaluation of a novel chromogenic screening method for detection of carbapenem-resistant < em > Escherichia coli < /em >
Conclusion. The study highlights a novel method that is highly sensitive and specific, inexpensive, rapid and user-friendly for the detection of CREco. With the surge and expansion of CREco, this sensitive, specific, user-friendly and inexpensive method can be used in laboratories with limited facilities for early detection of CREco, thereby improving infection control along with averting future outbreaks.PMID:38112536 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001782 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)
