Genomic characterization of emerging invasive Streptococcus agalactiae serotype VIII in Alberta, Canada

Ashley N. Williams et al.

Summary: Genomic analysis was used to characterize fourteen adult invasive serotype VIII isolates from 2009 to 2021 in Alberta. The study found an emerging trend of invasive GBS serotype VIII, mainly caused by ST42, and identified the susceptibility and resistance patterns of these isolates. The presence of potential vaccine targets in the isolate genomes highlights the importance of continued surveillance and characterization for outbreak prevention, vaccine development, and understanding the global epidemiology of this rare serotype.

Interconnections of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Quorum-Sensing Systems in Intestinal Permeability and Inflammation

Vijay K. K. Singh et al.

Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogen that poses a serious threat to critically ill and immunocompromised patients. Intestinal colonization by this pathogen is associated with increased mortality rates. In this study, the role of the three major communication systems in P. aeruginosa was investigated, and it was found that the MvfR system plays a key role in intestinal inflammation while the other systems have relatively minor effects. This study reveals the interrelationships of the quorum sensing systems during infection and provides important insights for developing effective antivirulence strategies.
