TL;DR: Current studies on the virulence factors that contribute to A. baumannii pathogenesis are summarized and Mechanisms of antibiotic resistance of this organism, including acquirement of β-lactamases, up-regulation of multidrug efflux pumps, modification of aminoglycosides, permeability defects, and alteration of target sites are discussed.

TL;DR: The filamentous fungus Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 36112 metabolized the triphenylmethane dye malachite green with a first-order rate constant of 0.029 μmol h−1 (mg of cells)−1 to convert to N-demethylated and N-oxidized metabolites, including primary and secondary arylamines.

TL;DR: The authors in this paper provided a summary and discussion focused on epidemiology, hypervirulence-associated factors, and antibiotic resistance mechanisms of such hypervirulent K. pneumoniae isolates.

TL;DR: It was found that bacterial communities differed between starter-inoculated and non- inoculated kimchi at the early stages of fermentation, but overall there were no significant differences in the late phases.

TL;DR: The results support a hypothesis that σB serves as a master regulator that triggers other related sigma factors in a cascade, and thus regulates differentiation and osmotic and oxidative response in S. coelicolor.
