 Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 147: a high-risk clone increasingly associated with plasmids carrying both resistance and virulence elements
Conclusion. This study highlights the high proportion of representatives of ST147 that carry IncFIB(pNDM-Mar)/IncHI1B(pNDM-MAR) hybrid resistance virulence plasmids. It is important to be aware of the high probability that representatives of this type carry these plasmids combining resistance and virulence determinants and of the consequent increased risk to patients.PMID:38629482 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001823 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Gut microbiota plays a significant role in gout
J Med Microbiol. 2024 Apr;73(4). doi: 10.1099/jmm.0.001824.ABSTRACTWith the development of social economy, the incidence of gout is increasing, which is closely related to people's increasingly rich diet. Eating a diet high in purine, fat, sugar and low-fibre for a long time further aggravates gout by affecting uric acid metabolism. The renal metabolism mechanism of uric acid has been thoroughly studied. To find a new treatment method for gout, increasing studies have recently been conducted on the mechanism of intestinal excretion, metabolism and absorption of uric acid. The most important research is the relationship bet...

Evaluation of a new CT/NG/TV/MG Real-Time PCR Kit (Vircell) versus the Allplex STI Essential Assay (Seegene) for the diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections
In conclusion, the CT/NG/TV/MG RT-PCR Kit (Vircell) assay shows a good sensitivity and specificity and constitutes a promising and additional alternative to routine procedures for distinct types of clinical specimen in diagnosis STI.PMID:38591530 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001797 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Characterization of invasive Group B Streptococcus isolates from Western Australian infants, 2004-2020
Conclusions. Based on comprehensive characterization of invasive infant GBS in Western Australia, we found that coverage for leading capsular polysaccharide and surface protein vaccine candidates was high. The demonstrated changes in serotype and molecular type highlight the need for ongoing surveillance, particularly with regard to future GBS vaccination programmes. The reduced susceptibility to IAP agents over time should inform changes to antibiotic guidelines.PMID:38567639 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001822 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

CXCR2 perturbation promotes Staphylococcus aureus implant-associated infection
Conclusion. Our results demonstrate that CXCR2 plays an essential role in regulating the severity of S. aureus implant-associated infections. Interestingly, however, perturbation of CXCR2 expression or signalling both resulted in enhanced Cxcr2 transcription and elevated implant-associated bacterial burdens. Thus, CXCR2 appears finely tuned to efficiently recruit effector cells and mediate control of S. aureus biofilm-mediated infection.PMID:38567642 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001821 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)
