TL;DR: A novel common region (CR4) was identified, comprising an open reading frame, orf495, whose product shares significant identity with putative recombinases, such as Orf513, and may be responsible for mobilization and expression of blaSPM-1.

TL;DR: A polyclonal outbreak of bacteraemia involving 24 patients at a haemodialysis facility in Recife (Brazil) was reported in this article, where three B.C. complex strains were isolated from human blood and from various water samples.

TL;DR: The first detailed population genetic analysis of P. acnes isolates recovered from paired lesional and non-lesional skin of PMH patients demonstrates a strong statistical association between strains from the type III phylogenetic lineage and PMH lesions, but not those representing other phylogroups, including those associated with acne.
