TL;DR: The findings are consistent with person-to-person transmission of this novel coronavirus in hospital and family settings, and the reports of infected travellers in other geographical regions.

TL;DR: The molecular epidemiology of hepatitis E in China is evolving toward low-level endemicity driven by foodborne transmission from seafood or pork products, which suggests the importance of concomitant liver disease, in particular non-alcoholic fatty Liver disease, as a risk factor for severe hepatitis E requires further study.

TL;DR: This study profiles the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of Q fever from a tertiary hospital in Shenzhen, a Southern Chinese metropolitan city with a large immigrant population from other parts of China.

TL;DR: The first report of histology- and culture-proven Mycobacterium marinum infection diagnosed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) is presented, and it took <2 days to make a microbiological diagnosis using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies' MinION device.

TL;DR: Brucellosis, previously thought to be only found in northern China, is now increasingly seen in highly cosmopolitan part of southern China and MALDI-TOF MS in hospitals in China should include reference spectra with standard Brucella strain to aid bacterial identification in routine clinical practice.
