TL;DR: Analysis of viral samples from deceased piglets shows that a bat coronav virus was responsible for an outbreak of fatal disease in China and highlights the importance of the identification of coronavirus diversity and distribution in bats in order to mitigate future outbreaks of disease.

TL;DR: A total of 26 blaIMP-4-carrying strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated from 2009 to 2013 in a Chinese teaching hospital, and these strains can be assigned into multiple sequence types or allelic profiles as determined by multilocus sequence typing.

TL;DR: This follow-up work disclosed that there were still two multidrug-resistant (MDR) plasmids pP 10164-2 and pP10164-3 coexisting in this strain of Leclercia adecarboxylata, and coexistence of three resistance plasmid pP100064-NDM, pP10064- 2 and pB101 64-3 makes this strain tend to become extensively drug-resistant.

TL;DR: The isolated and characterized a novel virulent phage, designated as vB_SauS_IMEP5, from manure collected from dairy farms in Shihezi, Xinjiang, China, for use as a biocontrol agent against Staphylococcus aureus infections, and the findings suggest that this phage may be potentially utilized as a therapeutic or prophylactic candidate against S.a Aureus infections.

TL;DR: A novel virulent bacteriophage named vB_EfaP_IME199 that specifically infects Enterococcus faecium was isolated and characterized and can be taxonomically classified as a new member of the genus Ahjdlikevirus of family Podoviridae.
