NMCR-6, a novel nonmobile colistin resistance gene in Vibrio bacteria: full characterization and global perspective

This study identifies NMCR-6, a chromosomal #ColistinResistance protein in #Vibrio, mapping its global spread across pathogenic species and highlighting risks of emerging resistance genes for #PublicHealth surveillance.

Treatment: rapid surgical debridement and abx (FQ, 3rd fen cephalosporins or doxy are effective #vibrio #vulnificus

#vibrio #vulnificus gram neg curved rod, ferments lactose so can be overlooked on mcconkey agar so inform the lab when +clinical suspicion. Rapid pcr available but start treatment based on clinical presentation

As coastal water temperatures increase, #vibrio #vulnificus infections are expected to become more common

#vibrio #vulnificus approximately 20% of cases are fatal. During June–August 2023, widespread heat waves & above-average sea surface temperatures occurred in USA: severe infections seen in 3 eastern states (Connecticut, NY & N Carolina)

Exposure to #vibrio #vulnificus occurs either through direct contact w/ contaminated water source or seafood (handling or ingestion) which can lead to gastroenteritis, skin/ soft tissue infection (often necrotizing), or septicemia.

Notes from the Field: Severe Vibrio ... This report describes cases of Vibrio vulnificus infections after a period of heat waves in three eastern U.S. states.

The redox driven Na+-pumping mechanism in Vibrio cholerae NADH-quinone oxidoreductase relies on dynamic conformational changes - Nature Communications The Na+ -pumping NADH-quinone oxidoreductase is a redox-driven sodium pump often found in pathogenic bacteria. Here, the authors demonstrate how enzyme structural changes efficiently couple electron t...

In this Brief Communication, we also show that although some anti-eukaryotic #T6SS effectors are toxic during infection of immune cells from different hosts, others are only toxic to some hosts.

"All T6SS-inducing regulators are equal, but some regulators are more equal than others".
Preprint 🚨: We use #Vibrio to show that #T6SS activation by regulator manipulation may result in the expression of different effector repertoires, affecting toxicity 🦠
