Abstract Background The dual infection with SARS-CoV-2 is poorly described and currently under discussion. We present a study of two strains detected in the same patient during disease presentation. Case presentation A their 90 s was hospitalised fever. Oropharyngeal swab obtained on next day (sample 1) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Five days later, transferred to ICU (intensive care unit) hospital specialising treatment COVID-19 patients, where patient's condition progressively worsened...

Delta has outcompeted most preexisting variants of SARS-CoV-2, becoming the globally predominant lineage by mid-2021. Its subsequent evolution led to emergence multiple sublineages, which are well-mixed between countries. By contrast, here we show that nearly entire epidemic in Russia probably descended from a single import event, or closely timed imports poorly sampled geographic location. Indeed, over 90 per cent samples characterized nsp2:K81N + ORF7a:P45L pair mutations is rare outside...

Klebsiella pneumoniae is one of the most important pathogens concerned with multidrug resistance in healthcare-associated infections. The treating infections caused by this bacterium complicated due to emergence and rapid spreading carbapenem-resistant strains, which are associated high mortality rates. Recently, several hypervirulent carbapenemase-producing isolates were reported that make situation even more complicated. In order better understand virulence mechanisms, and, turn, develop...

Introduction. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus, international community has been concerned about emergence mutations altering some biological properties pathogen like increasing its infectivity or virulence. Particularly, since end 2020, several variants concern have identified around world, including Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), Gamma (P.1), and Delta (B.1.617.2). However, existing mechanism detecting important are not always effective...

In 2021, a patient died from Marburg virus (MARV) disease in Guinea and it was the first confirmed case West Africa. The origin of outbreak has not been identified. It revealed that didn't travel anywhere before illness. Prior to outbreak, MARV had found bats neighboring Sierra Leone, but never Guinea. Therefore, infection is unclear: an autochthonous with spillover local population or imported fruit foraging/migrating Leone? this paper, we studied Rousettus aegyptiacus as possible source...
