Dissemination of IncQ1 Plasmids Harboring NTE_KPC-IId in a Brazilian Hospital by Camila Maria dos Santos Boralli, Julian Andres Paganini, Rodrigo Silva Meneses, Camila Pacheco Silveira Martins da Mata, Edna Marilea Meireles Leite, Anita C. Schürch, Fernanda L. Paganelli, Rob J. L. Willems, Ilana L. B. C. Camargo

“…IncQ1 and a conjugative plasmid from <i>K. pneumoniae</i> BHKPC10 were transferred to <i>E. coli</i> J53 without fitness changes, and MIC values were maintained for carbapenems despite the low transconjugant PCN. In addition to IncQ1 with NTE_KPC, <i>Enterobacter cloacae</i> BHKPC28 contained the <i>mcr-9</i> gene in an IncHI2/IncHI2A conjugative plasmid, which may help the mobility of IncQ1 and the dissemination of two resistance determinants to last-resort antibiotics. …”

The Effects of MyChoices and LYNX Mobile Apps on HIV Testing and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Use by Young US Sexual Minority Men: Results From a National Randomized Controlled Trial by Katie B Biello, Kenneth H Mayer, Hyman Scott, Pablo K Valente, Jonathan Hill-Rorie, Susan Buchbinder, Lucinda Ackah-Toffey, Patrick S Sullivan, Lisa Hightow-Weidman, Albert Y Liu

“…Sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics did not differ by study arm. Compared to SOC (n=72, 59%), participants randomized to MyChoices (n=87, 74%; P=.01) were more likely to have received at least 1 HIV test over 6 months of follow-up; those randomized to LYNX also had a higher proportion of testing (n=80, 70%) but it did not reach the a priori threshold for statistical significance (P=.08). …”

Fluid Inclusions and H-O-C-S Isotopes of the Wushan Copper Polymetallic Deposit in the Suizao Area, Hubei Province: Implications for Ore Genesis by Pan-Pan Niu, Shao-Yong Jiang, Suo-Fei Xiong, Qi-Sheng Hu, Tian-liang Xu

“…Combined with C-H-O isotopic compositions, the initial ore-forming fluid is likely magmatic water, but with the addition of meteoric water in the late stage. By comparing with the typical characteristics of magmatic hydrothermal vein deposit and orogenic deposit related to shear zones, we suggest that the Wushan copper polymetallic deposit is most likely a magmatic hydrothermal vein deposit, which is of great significance for the further exploration work in the Wushan and surrounding areas. …”
