Co-existence of plasmid-mediated blaNDM-1 and blaNDM-5 in Escherichia coli sequence type 167 and ST101 and their discrimination through restriction digestion

This study identifies and characterizes co-existing blaNDM-1 and blaNDM-5 variants in E. coli isolates using Sanger sequencing and hybrid assembly, and develops a restriction digestion method to distinguish them.

The membrane-targeting-sequence motif is required for exhibition of recessive resurrection in Escherichia coli RNase E

This study identifies a membrane-targeting-sequence motif in Escherichia coli RNase E that is essential for recessive resurrection, a phenomenon where mutant subunits restore activity in hetero-tetramers.

Glycyrrhizin, an inhibitor of HMGB1 induces autolysosomal degradation function and inhibits H. pylori infection

This study shows glycyrrhizin, an HMGB1 inhibitor, restores lysosomal function and reduces H. pylori infection in gastric cells and mice.

Metagenomic Characteristics of Bacterial Response to Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contamination in Diverse Environments as Revealed by Functional Taxonomic Strategies

The paper analyzes 16S rRNA datasets from 12 oil-polluted habitats to identify metagenomic features and biomarkers distinguishing bacterial communities in these environments.
