,Draft genome sequences of five Enterococcus faecium, two Enterococcus hirae, and one Enterococcus gallinarum from enviromental sources and chicken carcass rinsates. Isolates were selected for their resistance to the streptogramin antibiotic, Quinupristin-Dalfopristin and were all collected in the United States between 2001 and 2004. Antimicrobial resistance genes were identified conferring resistance to the macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramins, aminoglycosides, tetracycline, beta-lactams, and glycopeptides.,,

Plasmids, DNA (or rarely RNA) molecules which replicate in cells autonomously (independently of chromosomes) as non-essential genetic elements, play important roles for microbes grown under specific environmental conditions as well as in scientific laboratories and in biotechnology. For example, bacterial plasmids are excellent models in studies on regulation of DNA replication, and their derivatives are the most commonly used vectors in genetic engineering. Detailed mechanisms of replication initiation, which is the crucial process for efficient maintenance of plasmids in cells, have been elucidated for several plasmids. However, to understand plasmid biology, it is necessary to understand regulation of plasmid DNA replication in response to different environmental conditions in which host cells exist. Knowledge of such regulatory processes is also very important for those who use plasmids as expression vectors to produce large amounts of recombinant proteins. Variable conditions in large-scale fermentations must influence replication of plasmid DNA in cells, thus affecting the efficiency of recombinant gene expression significantly. Contrary to extensively investigated biochemistry of plasmid replication, molecular mechanisms of regulation of plasmid DNA replication in response to various environmental stress conditions are relatively poorly understood. There are, however, recently published studies that add significant data to our knowledge on relations between cellular stress responses and control of plasmid DNA replication. In this review we focus on plasmids derived from bacteriophage λ that are among the best investigated replicons. Nevertheless, recent results of studies on other plasmids are also discussed shortly.

The fasta files (Genome_Set01.zip) contain the reference-assisted de novo assemblies (as contigs) of three Escherichia coli isolates. The table contains rows as isolates (yellow) and columns as attributes (green) for each individual genome. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Gomez-Alvarez, V., and J. Hoelle-Schwalbach. Draft Genome Sequences of Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli Isolates from U.S. Wastewater Treatment Plants. Microbiology Resource Announcements.

CDC monitors invasive bacterial infections that cause bloodstream infections, sepsis, and meningitis in persons living in the community through Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs). ABCs conducts laboratory- and population-based surveillance for invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). ABCs serotype data are used to measure the impact of vaccine use in the United States on vaccine-type IPD. This table reports IPD case counts in the ABCs catchment area by serotype for years 1998 through 2022. Cases are grouped into the following mutually exclusive age groups: age <2 years old, age 2–4 years old, age 5–17 years old, age 18–49 years old, age 50–64 years old, and age ≥65 years old. ABCs methods and surveillance areas reporting IPD cases has changed over time. Given these changes, trends in serotype distribution by year and age group should be interpreted with caution. Additional information on ABCs methods and surveillance population is available at https://www.cdc.gov/abcs/methodology/index.html. Analyze and visualize data using the ABCs Bact Facts Interactive Data Dashboard at https://www.cdc.gov/abcs/bact-facts-interactive-dashboard.
