Herein, we identified a universal stress protein Usp1413 which played an important role in adaptive resistance of <i>A. baumannii</i> to meropenem (MEM). Based on RNA-Seq and genome sequencing, Usp1413 was not only one of the most downregulated USPs, but also the bare one having mutation of tyrosine and glycine inserted at the site of 229-230 (YG229-230) under the stimulation of MEM. Deletion of Usp1413 resulted in increased MEM resistance. In addition, Usp1413 affected the bacterial abilities of biofilm formation and swarm motility, as well as helped <i>A. baumannii</i> response to various environmental stresses. These effects of Usp1413 were achieved by regulating its interaction proteins, within the functions of YigZ family protein, acetyltransferase, and SulP family inorganic anion transporter. The insertion mutation of YG229-230 influenced both the expression of interaction proteins and the phenotypes of bacteria. Finally, the promotor region of Usp1413 was convinced by point mutations. Overall, our findings identified the universal stress protein Usp1413 as a contributor involved in MEM adaptive resistance and responded to numerous environmental stresses.

Despite its importance, phosphorus availability in soils is often restricted due to its tendency to form insoluble complexes, limiting plant uptake. The increasing demand for phosphorus in agriculture, combined with limited global reserves of phosphate rock, has created challenges for sustainable plant production. Additionally, the overuse of chemical phosphorus fertilizers has resulted in environmental degradation, such as eutrophication of water bodies. Increasing agronomic phosphorus (P) efficiency is crucial because of population growth and increased food demand. Hence, microorganisms involved in the P cycle are a promising biotechnological strategy that has gained global interest in recent decades. Microorganisms' solubilization of phosphate rock (PR) is an environmentally sustainable alternative to chemical processing for producing phosphate fertilizers. Phosphorus-solubilizing microorganisms (PSMs), including bacteria and fungi, and their enzymatic processes offer an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to chemical inputs by converting insoluble phosphorus into forms readily available for plant uptake. Integrating PSMs into agricultural systems presents a promising strategy to reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers, enhance soil health, and contribute to the transition toward more sustainable and resilient agricultural practices. It can be an alternative that reduces the loss of phosphorus in the environment, especially the eutrophication of aquatic systems.

Notably, the newly developed <em>fliG</em>-targeting assay detected as low as 20 fg of <em>Leptospira</em> DNA, offering ten-fold greater sensitivity than traditional qPCR for trace detection. This allows for differential detection of <em>Leptospira</em> species and facilitates monitoring of extremely low bacterial loads with greater sensitivity than conventional methods. We also observed regenerating renal tubules with mitosis and elevated cytokine expression in kidneys with transcriptionally active <em>Leptospira</em> during chronic infection.

It is the deacetylated product of chitin. Commercially, it is produced from chitin via a harsh thermochemical process that has several shortcomings and heterogenous deacetylation product.

CDA is primarily extracted from fungi followed by bacteria and insects. The extraction of CDA from fungus is more complex, possess several health risks for human including skin lesions. Therefore, screening of potent bacterial CDA is the need of the hour.
