Summary: This study assessed the performance of an in-house method for rapid direct bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing using positive blood culture broth. The method involved filtering the broth, centrifuging and washing the filtrate, and using mass spectrometry and automated broth microdilution for identification and testing. The in-house method had a correct identification rate of 94%, with rates of 91.4% and 97.3% for Gram-positive and Gram-negative isolates, respectively. The method also showed good agreement for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, with minor, major, and very major error rates of 3.8%, 3.4%, and 1.6%, respectively. This simple method can significantly shorten the turnaround time for identification and testing, potentially improving patient management.

Summary: This paper investigates the mathematical modeling and parameter identification of glycerol bioconversion to 1,3-Propanediol in batch fermentation. A stochastic differential system with disturbance is proposed to capture the genetic stochasticity and environmental disturbances in the biochemical system. A multi-objective parameter identification model is formulated to ensure model refinement and biological robustness. The optimization problems are solved using linear matrix inequality techniques. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed stochastic dynamical system and parameter identification method.

Summary: The emergence of novel variants of SARS-CoV-2 and their ability to evade the immune response makes it essential to understand the mechanisms of interaction between the virus and the human immune system. This understanding is crucial for the development of effective vaccines against COVID-19. T cells play a critical role in reducing viral load and containing the infection, but their hyperactivation and reduced numbers are associated with severe disease. The involvement of T cells in determining the prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the strategies to enhance T cell-mediated immune responses are still not fully understood.

Summary: Antibiotics have played a crucial role in saving millions of lives from infectious diseases. However, the overuse and misuse of antibiotics have led to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microbes. The transmission and acquisition of AMR mainly occur through human-human contact in healthcare settings. Multiple factors related to healthcare and agriculture contribute to the development of AMR. The unrestricted use of antimicrobials in livestock feed has been a significant factor in the emergence and spread of AMR. Urgent intervention is required to prevent AMR from becoming a global public health crisis.

Summary: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rare type of cancer globally, but it is an endemic disease in southeast Asia and southern China, and the underlying reasons for this are unclear. Although Epstein-Barr infection (EBV) has been suggested as an important factor for undistinguishable NPC, EBV alone is not sufficient to cause this type of cancer. Other risk factors, such as genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, may play a role in the carcinogenesis of NPC in association with EBV. The exact involvement of the virus in the carcinogenic process is currently not well understood, but EBV research continues to shed light on tumor etiology and the development of targeted cancer therapeutics.
