There is a return of colistin as the treatment of last resort for multi-resistant bacteria. However, due to the limited penetration in the lung parenchyma and the renal side effects, the effectiveness of intravenous (IV) colistin therapy has been questioned. Colistin inhalation therapy is deemed tolerable, safe, and could be a beneficial therapy.

Seed-borne rice endophytes are capable of disseminating into host plant tissues as well as to their rhizosphere. Here, we investigated the occurrence of siderophore-producing bacteria (SPB) in the seed endospheres of two distinct rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, TK8 (ssp. japonica) and TCN1 (ssp. indica), and their dissemination into the rhizospheres through culture-dependent methods.

With the rapid growth of economic development, the circular economy has been raised in many international environmental and socio-economic conferences and forums nowadays. The recycling of plastic waste was one of those aspects. This paper studied the potential of directly reusing plastic bottle caps as bio-carriers in moving bed bioreactors without further waste processing.

Recent advancements in metagenomics, particularly in the studies of conservative 16S rRNA sequences, have significantly accelerated our understanding of the relationship between corals and their associated microbial communities. While bacteria are known to be closely linked with corals, there is limited understanding of the connections between archaea and corals. Unlike previous 16S rRNA studies conducted in similar tropical coral reef ecosystems, we analyzed both the archaeal and bacterial communities associated with Acropora sp. and Lobophyllia sp.

FtsZ is conserved in almost all bacteria and is an essential protein for bacterial cell division. The cell division is prevented by the inhibitors against FtsZ’s functions. Thus, FtsZ is known as an attractive, and underexploited novel antibacterial target protein. The aim of this research is searching for new antibacterial agents from 72 plants collected in Central Vietnam.

In Vietnam, a number of recent epidemiological studies demonstrated that the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been rapidly increasing, especially in intensive care units (ICUs). The implementation of comprehensive and long-term measures through antibiotic stewardship programs (AMS) is necessary. Objectives: For patients in the ICU of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital: (1) To survey of usage of antibiotics, and (2) to find out patient-related factors for antibiotic use.

Pwo DNA polymerase is an enzyme that is widely used in PCR due to its thermal stability and proofreading activity (3′-5′ exonuclease activity) with high accuracy. Optimizing the expression and purification of the protein is crucial to reducing the cost of production for this important enzyme. In this study, the higher expression level of the gene encoding Pwo DNA polymerase in bacteria strain E. coli BL21(DE3) was achieved by optimizing codon usage.
