    Abstract A novel temperate phage, phiStx2k, was induced from a clinical Escherichia coli isolate producing Shiga toxin (Stx) 2k. The phage particles have an icosahedral head (50 nm in diameter) and a long non-contractile tail (149 nm long). The phage genome consists of 46,647 bp of double-stranded DNA with an average G + C content of 51%. Genome sequence comparisons suggested that phiStx2k represents a new genus in the class Caudoviricetes. phiStx2k was capable of converting non-Stx-producing E. coli strains to Stx producers. These results expand our knowledge on the characteristics of Stx phages and highlight the potential risks of the emergence of Stx-producing strains or novel pathogens via horizontal gene transfer.

    Abstract Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infections cause outbreaks of severe disease in children ranging from bloody diarrhea to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). The adherent factor intimin, encoded by eae , can facilitate the colonization process of strains and is frequently associated with severe disease. The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the prevalence and polymorphisms of eae in clinical STEC strains from pediatric patients under 17 years old with and without HUS, and to assess the pathogenic risk of different eae subtypes. We studied 240 STEC strains isolated from pediatric patients in Finland with whole genome sequencing. The gene eae was present in 209 (87.1%) strains, among which 49 (23.4%) were from patients with HUS, and 160 (76.6%) were from patients without HUS. O157:H7 (126, 60.3%) was the most predominant serotype among eae -positive STEC strains. Twenty-three different eae genotypes were identified, which were categorized into five eae subtypes, i.e., γ1, β3, ε1, θ and ζ3. The subtype eae -γ1 was significantly overrepresented in strains from patients aged 5–17 years, while β3 and ε1 were more commonly found in strains from patients under 5 years. All O157:H7 strains carried eae -γ1; among non-O157 strains, strains of each serotype harbored one eae subtype. No association was observed between the presence of eae /its subtypes and HUS. However, the combination of eae -γ1+ stx2a was significantly associated with HUS. In conclusion, this study demonstrated a high occurrence and genetic variety of eae in clinical STEC from pediatric patients under 17 years old in Finland, and that eae is not essential for STEC-associated HUS. However, the combination of certain eae subtypes with stx subtypes, i.e., eae -γ1+ stx2a , may be used as risk predictors for the development of severe disease in children.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of using a newly formulated magnesium-rich artificial cerebrospinal fluid (MACSF) as an alternative to normal saline (NS) for intraoperative irrigation during aneurysm clipping in improving the prognosis of patients with Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
    Methods: Patients with aSAH who underwent intraoperative irrigation with MACSF or NS during the clipping in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi 'an Jiaotong University from March 2019 to March 2022 were selected as MACSF group and NS group, respectively. The primary prognostic indicators were the incidence of favorable outcomes (mRS 0-2). The secondary outcome measures included cerebral vasospasm (CVS), mortality, total hospital stay, and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Safety was evaluated based on the occurrence rates of hypermagnesemia, meningitis, and hydrocephalus.
    Results: Overall, 34 and 37 patients were enrolled in the MACSF and NS groups, respectively. At 90 days after aSAH onset, the proportion of favorable prognosis in the MACSF group was significantly higher than that in the NS group (
    Conclusion: Using MACSF as an irrigation fluid for aneurysm clipping can significantly improve the 90-day prognosis of patients with aSAH, which may be related to the reduced incidence of CVS.
