Abstract
The worldwide spread of pathogenic microorganisms poses a significant risk to human health. Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as dependable analytical tools for the point-of-care detection of pathogens and can effectively compensate for the limitations of conventional techniques. Real-time analysis, high throughput, portability, and rapidity make them pioneering tools for on-site detection of pathogens. Herein, this work comprehensively reviews the recent advances in electrochemical biosensors for pathogen detection, focusing on those based on the classification of recognition elements, and summarizes their principles, current challenges, and prospects. This review was conducted by a systematic search of PubMed and Web of Science databases to obtain relevant literature and construct a basic framework. A total of 171 publications were included after online screening and data extraction to obtain information of the research advances in electrochemical biosensors for pathogen detection. According to the findings, the research of electrochemical biosensors in pathogen detection has been increasing yearly in the past 3 years, which has a broad development prospect, but most of the biosensors have performance or economic limitations and are still in the primary stage. Therefore, significant research and funding are required to fuel the rapid development of electrochemical biosensors. The overview comprehensively evaluates the recent advances in different types of electrochemical biosensors utilized in pathogen detection, with a view to providing insights into future research directions in biosensors.

Abstract
Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers, with 30-50 % of patients returning or metastasizing within 5 years of treatment. Increasingly, researchers have highlighted the influence of microbes on cancer malignant activity, while no studies have explored the relationship between colon cancer and the microbes in tumors. Here, we used tissue and blood samples from 67 colon cancer patients to identify pathogenic microorganisms associated with the diagnosis and prediction of colon cancer and evaluate the predictive performance of each pathogenic marker and its combination based on the next-generation sequencing data by using random forest algorithms. The results showed that we constructed a database of 13,187 pathogenic microorganisms associated with human disease and identified 2 pathogenic microorganisms (Synthetic.construct_32630 and Dicrocoelium.dendriticum_57078) associated with colon cancer diagnosis, and the constructed diagnostic prediction model performed well for tumor tissue samples and blood samples. In summary, for the first time, we provide new molecular markers for the diagnosis of colon cancer based on the expression of pathogenic microorganisms in order to provide a reference for improving the effective screening rate of colon cancer in clinical practice and ameliorating the personalized treatment of colon cancer patients.

Abstract
Infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogenic microorganisms are among the most harmful public health problems in the world, causing tens of millions of deaths and incalculable economic losses every year. The establishment of rapid, simple, and highly sensitive diagnostic methods for pathogenic microorganisms is important for the prevention and control of infectious diseases, guidance of timely treatment, and the reduction of public safety risks. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) based on the colorimetric signal of colloidal gold is the most popular point-of-care testing technology at present, but it is limited by poor sensitivity and low throughput and hardly meets the needs of the highly sensitive screening of pathogenic microorganisms. In recent years, the combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and LFA technology has developed into a novel analytical platform with high sensitivity and multiple detection capabilities and has shown great advantages in the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and infectious diseases. This review summarizes the working principle, design ideas, and application of the existing SERS-based LFA methods in pathogenic microorganism detection and further introduces the effect of new technologies such as Raman signal encoding, magnetic enrichment, novel membrane nanotags, and integrated Raman reading equipment on the performance of SERS-LFA. Finally, the main challenges and the future direction of development in this field of SERS-LFA are discussed.

Abstract
Pathogenic microorganisms in the environment pose a serious threat to global human health. This study developed a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-field effect transistor (FET) biosensor to realize the rapid and sensitive detection of pathogenic microorganisms. The rGO-FET sensors were prepared by in-situ thermal reduction method, and biorecognition elements were immobilized using a crosslinking agent to realize the surface functionalization of rGO. The rGO-FET biosensors can detect Escherichia coli O157:H7 as low as 1.4 CFU mL-1 within 46 s. The normalized current response was linearly correlated with E. coli concentration in the range of 1.4-1.4 × 107 CFU mL-1. The normalized current response of E. coli O157:H7 was about an order of magnitude higher than those of other microorganisms, indicating that the biosensor has good specificity. The current loss rates of the unmodified rGO-FET sensors and the biosensors modified with anti-E. coli O157:H7 after 30 days of storage at 4 °C were approximately 8% and 15%, respectively. Most importantly, the rGO-FET biosensors can directly detect real samples without pretreatment. Compared with other technologies, the rGO-FET biosensors can detect pathogenic microorganisms with a wider linear range in a shorter time, which is of great importance for the rapid warning and control of pathogenic microorganisms in the environment.

Abstract
In food safety analysis, the detection and control of foodborne pathogens and their toxins are of great importance. Monitoring of virus transmission is equally important, especially in light of recent findings that coronaviruses have been detected in frozen foods and packages during the current global epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019. In recent years, field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors have attracted considerable scholarly attention for pathogenic microorganisms and toxins detection and sensing due to their rapid response time, high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, high specificity, label-free detection, portability, and cost-effectiveness. FET-based biosensors can be modified with specific recognition elements, thus providing real-time qualitative and semiquantitative analysis. Furthermore, with advances in nanotechnology and device design, various high-performance nanomaterials are gradually applied in the detection of FET-based biosensors. In this article, we review specific detection in different biological recognition elements are immobilized on FET biosensors for the detection of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins, and we also discuss nonspecific detection by FET biosensors. In addition, there are still unresolved challenges in the development and application of FET biosensors for achieving efficient, multiplexed, in situ detection of pathogenic microorganisms and toxins. Therefore, directions for future FET biosensor research and applications are discussed.

Abstract
Acute septic arthritis is on the rise among all patients. Acute septic arthritis must be extensively assessed, identified, and treated to prevent fatal consequences. Antimicrobial therapy administered intravenously has long been considered the gold standard for treating acute osteoarticular infections. According to clinical research, parenteral antibiotics for a few days, followed by oral antibiotics, are safe and effective for treating infections without complications. This article focuses on bringing physicians up-to-date on the most recent findings and discussions about the epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of acute septic arthritis. In recent years, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant, particularly aggressive bacterial species has highlighted the need for more research to enhance treatment approaches and develop innovative diagnosis methods and drugs that might combat better in all patients. This article aims to furnish radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, and other medical practitioners with contemporary insights on the subject matter and foster collaborative efforts to improve patient outcomes. This review represents the initial comprehensive update encompassing patients across all age groups.

Abstract
The impact of Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) on chicken disease is not well understood. Here, we systematically identified 436 relatively complete ChERVs from the chicken genome. Subsequently, ChERV transcriptomes were analyzed in chicken after subgroup J avian leukosis virus (ALV-J), avian influenza virus (AIV), Marek's disease virus (MDV) and avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) infection. We found that about 50%-68% of ChERVs were transcriptionally active in infected and uninfected-samples, although the abundance of most ChERVs is relatively low. Moreover, compared to uninfected-samples, 49, 18, 66 and 17 ChERVs were significantly differentially expressed in ALV-J, AIV, MDV and APEC infected-samples, respectively. These findings may be of significance for understanding the role and function of ChERVs to response the pathogenic microorganism infection.

Abstract
Autophagy is an intracellular degradation process that maintains cellular homeostasis. It is essential for protecting organisms from environmental stress. Autophagy can help the host to eliminate invading pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. However, pathogens have evolved multiple strategies to interfere with autophagic signaling pathways or inhibit the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes to form autolysosomes. Moreover, host cell matrix degradation by different types of autophagy can be used for the proliferation and reproduction of pathogens. Thus, determining the roles and mechanisms of autophagy during pathogen infections will promote understanding of the mechanisms of pathogen‒host interactions and provide new strategies for the treatment of infectious diseases.

Abstract
The objectives of this research were to study the effect of DMDC (0-250 ppm) on quality and shelf life of mango and passion fruit smoothie during cold storage. The correlation between microbial population (total microorganisms, yeast and mold, E. coli and S. aureus) and DMDC concentration using zero-order kinetic and first-order kinetic was also determined. In addition, the effect of DMDC compared with pasteurization (90 °C, 100 s) on quality of mixed mango and passion fruit smoothie during the cold storage (4 °C) was studied. The results showed that microbial inactivation was best-described by first-order kinetic model due to a higher coefficient of determination (R2). In addition, DMDC did not affect the decreasing trend of total soluble solid, color difference (∆E*) and total phenolic compound as compared to control during the cold storage. DMDC also hindered the increasing trend in microbial population and prevented the loss of antioxidant activity (DPPH and FRAP assays) and total flavonoid content and decreased the PPO activity as compared with the control during the cold storage. In summary, DMDC showed the potential to maintain the quality and to extend the shelf life of mango and passion fruit smoothie during cold storage.

Abstract
The limited reaction time and sample volume in the confined space of microfluidic devices give considerable importance to the development of more effective biosensing interfaces. Herein, the self-assembling of tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (FNAs) with controllable size on the interface of the microfluidic microchannels is studied. Compared with macroscopic turbulence control on traditional micro-structured microfluidic surface, the novel FNA-engineered microfluidic interface successfully constructs a 3D reaction space at nanoscale by raising DNA probes away from the surface. This FNA interface dramatically improves the reaction kinetics during molecular recognition due to extremely ordered orientation, configuration and density of DNA probes on the surface. Finally, the FNA-engineered interface is applied in a novel multi-functional microfluidic platform, towards a "one-stop" assay of Escherichia coli O157: H7 (E. coli O157: H7), integrating capture, release, enrichment, cell culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). With the FNA-aptamer probe, we achieved an enhanced bacterial detecting efficiency (10 CFU/mL) plus excellent selectivity and precision. The appicability was strongly demonstrated when the biosensor was successfully applied in real samples, including the analysis of antibiotic susceptibility and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of E. coli O157: H7 among different antibiotics. The application of FNA interface will open a wide avenue for the development of microfluidic biosensors for other pathogenic microorganisms or circulating tumor cells (CTC) simply by changing the aptamers.

Abstract
Pathogenic microorganism is an important national strategic resource, whose value is embodied in the physical object and its corresponding information and data resources. At present, China has basically completed the designation of national and provincial preservation centers and professional laboratories, and various preservation institutions have been put into operation and begun to play its role of preservation institutions. In order to standardize the data management of pathogenic microorganism preservation and improve the quality of pathogenic microorganism resources, China CDC took the lead in formulating and issuing the community standard of Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, the General principles of description for pathogenic microorganism collection (T/CPMA 011-2020). The standard puts forward the data fields and description principles of microorganism strain, including general data such as number, name, separation, hazard classification, transmission route, pathogenicity, and characteristic data such as virus, bacteria and fungi. The core of pathogenic microorganism resources lies in quality and the foundation lies in standards. Taking data standards as the starting point, it will play an important supporting role in promoting the transformation of pathogenic microorganism preservation work to quality improvement, improving resource sharing and utilization, and leading the sustainable development of preservation work.

Abstract
The limitation of hydrolysis and the health risks from pathogenic microorganisms are challenges in the treatment of human waste for volume reduction and nutrient recovery. In this study, potassium ferrate (PF), peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and PF combined with peroxymonosulfate (PMS+ PF) were used as pretreatment or co-treatment methods to enhance nutrient release and control pathogenic microorganisms in human waste. The PF pretreatment was the most effective regarding hydrolysis and organic matter release. The largest difference (D-value) in the soluble chemical oxygen demand (3117.0 mg/L) between the control and the treatment after 120 min was observed for the PF pretreatment, followed by the alkaline (ALK) pretreatment (1525.0 mg/L), the PF + PMS pretreatment (1169.3 mg/L), and the PMS pretreatment (1020.6 mg/L). The PF pre-treated waste exhibited the highest volatile solids reduction of 79.2% after 120 min compared with 15.0% reduction of the untreated waste, as well as the highest polysaccharide release, with a D-value of 198.5 mg/L. All pretreatments exhibited inactivation of pathogenic bacteria and helminths eggs; however, the PF pretreatment was the most efficient method to suppress pathogenic micrograms, with a 3.5 log (N/N0) decrease in the number of total coliforms. The PF pretreatment and PMS + PF co-treatment both exhibited the good performance regarding nitrogen release, including soluble protein and ammonium. The maximum D-value of the total soluble nitrogen was 372.8 mg/L for the PF + PMS co-treatment. The maximum D-value of soluble protein was 156.2 mg/L for the ALK pretreatment. The results indicated that the PF pretreatment was the most effective method for disintegrating human waste, thus providing a new method for safe and rapid reduction of human waste, as well as nutrient release.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pneumonia is a major complication leading to death after stroke. The risk factors of pneumonia in convalescent patients who have experienced stroke remain poorly defined. METHODS To identify the risk factors of pneumonia, we applied logistic regression as a statistical method using SPSS23.0 statistical software, based on a sample of 380 patients. And statistical description method was used to analyze pathogens' characteristics and drug resistance. RESULTS Ultimately, the obtained logistic model has statistical significance (χ2(13) = 91.560, P <0.0005). The sensitivity of the model is 41.7%, the specificity is 97.6%, the positive predictive value is 76.9%, and the negative predictive value is 89.8%. The Barthel index (BI) (OR=1.97, 95% CI: 1.01-3.87), basic lung diseases (OR=4.24, 95% CI: 1.02-17.61), trachea ventilation (OR=6.56, 95% CI: 1.18-36.34), feeding tube (OR=6.06, 95% CI: 2.59-14.18), and hypoproteinemia (OR=3.97, 95% CI: 1.56-10.10) were statistically significant (P<0.05). Among patients who have pneumonia, the proportion of gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and fungal infection is 10.00%, 54.29%, 5.71% respectively. The study most frequently isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa (18.57%), followed by Acinetobacter baumannii (10.00%,) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (10.00%). The drug resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae to different antibiotics ranged from 0.00-37.77%, 0.00-85.71% and 0.00-57.14%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The lower BI scores, basic lung diseases, trachea ventilation, tube feeding, and hypoproteinemia are independent risk factors of pneumonia among convalescent patients with stroke. The main pathogens that caused pneumonia were gram-negative bacteria, and such organisms have different degrees of resistance to drugs.

Abstract
Spread of pathogens in pig farms not only causes transfection of diseases to other pigs or even farmers working in the farms, but also induces pollution to the living atmospheric environment of the residents around the farm. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a rapid and simple monitoring method. In this study, full genome sequences of common viruses were analyzed in pig farms, in combination with the design of primers, optimization of the reaction parameters, so as to establish a multiplex RT-PCR assay for the identification of classical swine fever virus (CSFV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine circovirus Type 2 (PCV-2), porcine pseudorabies virus (PRV) and porcine parvovirus virus (PPV), which are common in pig farms. This method has a minimal detectable concentration of 10-3 ng/μL, which is highly specific. Furthermore, multiplex RT-PCR was applied to examine air samples from 4 pig farms located in different cities of China. The results were in line with those obtained by single PCR. Therefore, this study can be expected to provide essential technique support for the early warning mechanism as well as disease prevention and control system against the major viruses.

Abstract
Infections caused by pathogen remain to be one of the most important global health issues, and scientists are devoting themselves to seeking effective treatments. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are one kind of widely used antibiotics because of the good efficiency and broad antimicrobial-spectrum. However, it causes some unexpected effects on the pathogenic characteristics of microbiology during the treatment, such as drug resistance and biofilm promotion. Drug resistance is partly due to antibiotics abuse. Simultaneously, aminoglycoside is documented to make divergent effects on biofilm based on their concentrations. Here, we review the mechanism of drug resistance caused by long-term use of aminoglycoside antibiotics, the effects of antibiotic concentration on biofilm formation and the negative effects on intestinal flora to provide theoretical supports for rational use of antibiotics.

Abstract
Recycling sludge as a soil amendment has both positive and negative effects because of its enrichment in both nutrients and contaminants. So far, the negative effect has to be extensively investigated that the severities of different types of contaminants also remain unclear. The environmental behavior and risk of organic contaminant and pharmaceuticals, heavy metal and salt as well as pathogenic microorganisms brought by sludge amendment are summarized and discussed here. Organic contaminants and pharmaceuticals are typically found at low concentrations in sludge, the risks from sludge-amended soil decrease over time owing to its biodegradability. On the other hand, application of sludge generally increases soil salinity, which may cause physiological damage to plants grown in sludge-amended soil. In some extent, this negative effect can be alleviated by means of dilution; however, greater attention should be paid to long term increasing possible risk of eutrophication. Heavy metal (particularly of mobile heavy metals, such as Cd) with high concentrations in sludge and soil receiving considerable sludge can cause its incremental abundance in soil and crop contamination, further posing risks to humans, but most cases showed that there remained not excessive in heavy metal caused by sludge amendment. It is worth noting that increasing soil organic matter content may reduce transfer of heavy metal from soil to crops, but not restrict its uptake by crops at all. Combined literature together, it is summarized that heavy metal becomes a relatively severe bottleneck in recycling of sludge as soil amendment due to its non-biodegradability and potential damage to health by adventuring contamination from agricultural products. Particular attention should therefore be paid to long term monitoring the change of heavy metals concentration in sludge amended soil.
