Temperature-Regulated IncX3 Plasmid Characteristics and the Role of Plasmid-Encoded H-NS in Thermoregulation

Liu Baomo et al.

Summary: Temperature is an important determinant of IncX3 plasmid phenotypes. IncX3 plasmids show the highest transfer frequency, stability, and lower fitness costs at 37 degrees C. A temperature-regulated plasmid-encoded H-NS-like protein may be involved in this temperature regulation process.

Subinhibitory Concentration of Colistin Promotes the Conjugation Frequencies of Mcr-1- and blaNDM-5-Positive Plasmids

Xia Xiao et al.

Summary: Horizontal gene transfer plays a significant role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes, and colistin has been found to increase cell membrane permeability and facilitate the dissemination of ARGs via plasmid conjugation. In this study, exposure to colistin was shown to significantly stimulate the conjugation frequency of different plasmids, and changes in cell membrane structure and gene expression were observed. These findings contribute to our understanding of the potential risks of colistin in antimicrobial resistance dissemination.

Deciphering the Epidemiological Characteristics and Molecular Features of blaKPC-2- or blaNDM-1-Positive Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates in a Newly Established Hospital

Ruifei Chen et al.

Summary: The study investigated the prevalence and genomic background of CRKP strains in a new hospital, revealing that most strains carried bla(KPC-2) gene with broad antimicrobial resistance profiles. Phylogenetic analysis showed different spreading patterns and plasmid structures among bla(NDM-1) and bla(KPC-2) positive isolates of various sequence types.

Precise Species Identification by Whole-Genome Sequencing of Enterobacter Bloodstream Infection, China

Wenjing Wu et al.

Summary: The clinical importance of Enterobacter spp. is uncertain due to unreliable phenotype-based identification, but genomic study revealed that Enterobacter xiangfangensis and a unnamed species were associated with bloodstream infections and higher resistance to multiple antibiotics, as well as increased mortality rates and hospital stays. Precise species identification has greater implications for epidemiology and infection control than treatment.
