In vitro activity of cefiderocol against carbapenemase-producing and meropenem-nonsusceptible gram-negative bacteria collected in the Japan Antimicrobial Resistant Bacterial Surveillance (JARBS-GNR)

This study evaluates the in vitro activity of cefiderocol against carbapenemase-producing and meropenem-nonsusceptible gram-negative bacteria from Japan, showing high susceptibility rates compared to other antibiotics.

Nationwide genome surveillance of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Japan

This study analyzes genome sequences and antimicrobial resistance patterns of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from Japan, revealing genetic diversity and lower multidrug resistance prevalence compared to other regions.

Mesophyll specific expression of a bacterial mercury transporter-based vacuolar sequestration machinery sufficiently enhances mercury tolerance of Arabidopsis.

This paper demonstrates that mesophyll-specific expression of a bacterial mercury transporter-based vacuolar sequestration system enhances Arabidopsis mercury tolerance.
