the daughter's healthy eating habits, although differences exist among families by family history of breast cancer.

A mother's diet and family income are related to the daughter's healthy eating habits, although differences exist among families by family history of breast cancer.School-aged children gain weight most rapidly in summer, but few studies have investigated summer weight gain among preschool-aged children. We fit continuous linear spline mixed models to test for accelerated summer weight gain among 2,044 children attending 16 Boston-area Head Start programs between fall 2016 and spring 2019. Academic year and summer rates of change in modified body mass index z-score differed (P less then .001), with accelerated summer weight gain most pronounced among children with obesity. As with school-aged children, increased focus on the summer is warranted for promoting healthy weight among children in Head Start.Prospective serosurveillance of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 in 1,069 healthcare workers in London, UK, demonstrated that nucleocapsid antibody titers were stable and sustained for less then 12 weeks in 312 seropositive participants. This finding was consistent across demographic and clinical variables and contrasts with reports of short-term antibody waning.In this work, we studied the profile of IgM and IgG antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 in 32 patients with COVID-19 from day 1 to day 24. IgM remained measurable for a much shorter period than IgG, suggesting that IgG antibody may represent the primary immune response.Introduction. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in 2020 is testing economic resilience and surge capacity of healthcare providers worldwide. At the time of writing, positive detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus remains the only method for diagnosing COVID-19 infection. Rapid upscaling of national SARS-CoV-2 genome testing presented challenges (1) Unpredictable supply chains of reagents and kits for virus inactivation, RNA extraction and PCR-detection of viral genomes. (2) Rapid time to result of less then 24 h is required in order to facilitate timely infection control measures.Hypothesis. Extraction-free sample processing would impact commercially available SARS-CoV-2 genome detection methods.Aim. We evaluated whether alternative commercially available kits provided sensitivity and accuracy of SARS-CoV-2 genome detection comparable to those used by regional National Healthcare Services (NHS).Methodology. We tested several detection methods and tested whether detection was altered by heat inactivation, an apprRNA extraction and reported clinically (n=127; R2=0.9259).Conclusion. Our results demonstrate that sample treatment can greatly affect the downstream performance of SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic kits, with varying impact depending on the kit. We also showed that one-step heat-inactivation methods could reduce time from swab receipt to outcome of test result. Combined, these findings present alternatives to the protocols in use and can serve to alleviate any arising supply-chain issues at different points in the workflow, whilst accelerating testing, and reducing cost and environmental impact.Biological soil disinfestation (BSD) or reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) is a bioremediation method used to suppress or eliminate soil-borne plant pathogens by stimulating activities of indigenous anaerobic bacteria of the soil. An anaerobic bacterial strain (TW1T) was isolated from an anoxic soil sample subjected to the BSD treatment and comprehensively characterized. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-positive, slightly curved and motile rods producing terminal spores. The strain was aerotolerant. Strain TW1T was saccharolytic and produced acetate, butyrate, H2 and CO2 as fermentation end products. Strain TW1T decomposed β-1,3-glucan (curdlan and laminarin) and degraded mycelial cells of an ascomycete Fusarium plant pathogen. Major cellular fatty acids of strain TW1T were C14  0, C14  0 dimethylacetal (DMA), C16  0 aldehyde and C16  0 DMA. Strain TW1T made a group on the phylogenetic tree constructed based on 16S rRNA gene sequences with species such as Clostridium fallax (96.3 %) and Clostridium polyendosporum (96.0 %). Whole genome analysis of strain TW1T showed that the total length of the genome was 5.28 Mb with the DNA G+C content of 31.3 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANIb) between strain TW1T and C. fallax was 71.2 %. Presence of the genes encoding laminarinase or GH16 β-glucosidase was confirmed from the genome analysis of strain TW1T. Based on the genomic, phylogenetic and phenotypic properties obtained, we propose strain TW1T should be assigned in the genus Clostridium in the family Clostridiaceae as Clostridium fungisolvens sp. nov. The type strain TW1T (=NBRC 112097T=DSM 110791T).The increasing availability of whole genome sequencing of bacteria has accelerated the discovery of novel species which may not have been easy to discriminate using standard phenotypic or single gene methods. Phylogenomic analysis of genome sequences from a collection of coagulase-negative staphylococcal species isolated from captive fruit bats revealed two clusters which were close to Staphylococcus kloosii. To assess the relatedness of the strains we used digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and two methods for average nucleotide identity (ANI) computation which predicted two novel species having dDDH less than 70 % and ANI less than 95%. We propose these species as Staphylococcus lloydii sp. nov. (type strain 23_2_7_LYT=NCTC 14453T=DSM 111639T) and Staphylococcus durrellii sp. nov (type strain 27_4_6_LYT=NCTC 14454T=DSM 111640T).A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile bacterium was isolated from a liquid culture of dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae and further designated as LMIT004T. Optimal growth was observed at 25 °C, pH 7.0 and in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Oxidase and catalase were positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain LMIT004T showed high similarities to type strains Muricauda nanhaiensis SM17004T (96.77 %) and Muricauda aquimarina JCM11811T (95.60 %) but formed a separate branch in the genus Muricauda. The G+C content of strain LMIT004T was 39.0 mol%. The dominant fatty acids were iso-C15  0 and iso-C15  1 G. The polar lipids mainly contained phosphatidylethanolamine, five unidentified phospholipids and five unidentified polar lipids. The sole respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 (MK-6). The draft genome of the type strain was 3.88 Mbp. The average nucleotide identity values between strain LMIT004T and the two reference strains M. nanhaiensis SM17004T and M. aquimarina JCM11811T were 77.47 and 73.49 %, respectively. Based on the polyphasic analysis, strain LMIT004T is suggested to represent a novel specie in the genus of Muricauda, for which the name Muricauda amphidinii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LMIT004T (=CICC 24871T=KCTC 72948T).A novel mesophilic, hydrogen-, and sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, designated strain ST-419T, was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent plume on the Carlsberg Ridge of the Northwestern Indian Ocean. The isolate was a Gram-staining-negative, non-motile and coccoid to oval-shaped bacterium. Growth was observed at 4-50 °C (optimum 37 °C), pH 5.0-8.6 (optimum pH 6.0) and 1.0-5.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 3.0 %). ST-419T could grow chemlithoautotrophically with molecular hydrogen, sulfide, elemental sulfur and thiosulfate as energy sources. Molecular oxygen, nitrate and elemental sulfur could be used as electron acceptors. The predominant fatty acids were C16  1ω7c, C18  1ω7c and C16  0. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-6 and the G+C content of the genomic DNA was 42.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that ST-419T represented a member of genus Sulfurovum and was most closely related to Sulfurovum riftiae 1812ET, with 97.6 % sequence similarity. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between ST-419T and S. riftiae 1812ET were 74.6 and 19.6 %, respectively. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data indicate that ST-419T represents a novel species within the genus Sulfurovum, for which the name Sulfurovum indicum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ST-419T (=MCCC 1A17954T=KCTC 25164T).Introduction. Even though Corynebacterium aurimucosum has been described in 2002, this species has long been underestimated due to the unreliability of conventional identification methods and only a few cases of infections have been reported.Hypothesis/Gap Statement. Little is known about clinical significance and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of this uncommon species.Aim. To evaluate the clinical relevance of C. aurimucosum and its antimicrobial susceptibility profile.Methodology. All C. aurimucosum isolates, collected from 2010 to 2019 in 10 French university hospitals, were retrospectively included. Demographic, clinical and microbiological data were collected for all cases. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed according to the 2019 EUCAST guidelines.Results. Fifty-seven clinical isolates of C. aurimucosum were collected in 57 patients (median age, 65.8 years; male/female sex ratio, 1.1), mostly from urine (28 %), blood culture (28 %) and bone/synovial fluid (19 %) samples. Of them, 14 should be preferred.Avian Pasteurella-like organisms tentatively named taxon 14 of Bisgaard have been obtained from different lesions in birds including ducks, turkeys, pigeons, geese and peafowl. Taxon 32 of Bisgaard was first reported from lesions in pigeon hawks (Accipiter gentiles). The taxon isolated from kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) was V-factor dependent and originally reported as Haemophilus-like. The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence based phylogenetic analysis recently indicated that the taxa 14 and 32 and the kestrel taxon were located in a monophyletic group distantly related to [Pasteurella] testudinis with 92-93 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Comparison of 41 conserved protein sequences confirmed the monophyletic nature of the three taxa. find more Partial rpoB gene sequencing of 43 strains of taxon 14, taxon 32 and the kestrel taxon showed a relationship between taxon 14 and 32 of 88.2-90.0 % similarity. Within taxon 14, 93.3-100 % similarity was found, whereas the two strains of taxon 32 showed 99.8 % rpoB similaritytype strain of Spirabiliibacterium falconis (kestrel taxon) is IPDH 2176T (=NCTC 11878T=CCUG 28587T).Three Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped, black, facultative phototrophic bacterial strains, RG-N-1aT, DMA-N-7a and RA-N-9 were isolated from the water sample from Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See (Hungary). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strains form a distinct linage within the family Rhodobacteraceae and their closest relatives are Tabrizicola piscis K13M18T (96.32%) followed by Cypionkella psychrotolerans PAMC 27389T (96.25%). The novel bacterial strains prefer alkaline environments and grow optimally at 23-33 °C in the presence of NaCl (1-2 w/v%). Bacteriochlorophyll a was detected. Cells contained exclusively ubiquinone Q-10. The major cellular fatty acids were C18 1ω7c, C19 1iso ω5c, C18 0 3-OH and C18 1ω7c 11-methyl. The polar lipid profile contains diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, an unidentified phospholipid and four unidentified lipids. The assembled draft genome of RG-N-1aT had 33 contigs with N50 values 315 027 nt, 96× genome coverage, total length of 4 326 551 bp and a DNA G+C content of 64.
