Molecular characterization, comparative genome analysis and resistance determinants of three clinical Elizabethkingia miricola strains isolated from Michigan by Shicheng Chen, Grace Agah, Jochen Blom, Edward D. Walker

“…Management of its infection is complicated by unclear transmission pathways and multi-drug resistance.MethodsIn this study, we analyzed three clinical strains (E. miricola Mich-1, Mich-2, and Mich-3) isolated from patients in Michigan using morphology observations, biochemical tests, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF/MS), and genome sequencing.ResultsAverage Nucleotide Identity (ANI) analysis revealed that the Michigan strains were nearly identical and shared 96.52% identity with the type strain E. miricola DSM 14571, confirming their classification as E. miricola. …”

Novel H16N3 avian influenza viruses isolated from migratory gulls in China in 2023 by Peng Peng, Peng Peng, Peng Peng, Jinyan Shen, Wenjun Shi, Jing Guo, Mengjing Wang, Wenxi Li, Zhiqin Yue, Xiaohong Sun, Mengdi Guan, Lili Liu, Hongke Xu, Yujiao Xie, Anran Ren, Mingfeng Liu, Wenqiang Liu, Zhibin Zhang, Zhibin Zhang, Zhishu Xiao, Zhishu Xiao, Xuyong Li

“…The low prevalence of H16 viruses has limited our understanding of their epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics. In this study, we isolated three novel H16N3 viruses from migratory gulls in East Asian–Australasian Flyway in eastern China in 2023, which are significantly different from previously identified isolates. …”

The Photometric Investigation of V921 Her Using the Lunar-Based Ultraviolet Telescope of Chang’e-3 Mission by Xiao Zhou, Sheng-Bang Qian, Jia Zhang, Lin-Jia Li, Qi-Shan Wang

“…The most probable fitting results are discussed in the paper, which also confirm the existence of a third component (P3=10.2 year) around the binary system. The period of V921 Her is also undergoing a continuously rapid increase at a rate of dP/dt=+2.79×10-7  day·year-1, which may be due to mass transfer from the less massive component to the more massive one.…”
