Research into the deep biosphere requires an understanding of both the microbial community at a given site and the geochemical and hydrological factors that support that microbial community. To highlight the interplay between geochemistry and microbiology in these deep environments, we characterized the hydrogeologic and geochemical systems of a 2.7 Ga banded iron formation within the Canadian Shield in the Soudan Underground Mine State Park in Minnesota, USA, a site known to host a lithotrophic microbial community. Calcium-sodium-chloride brines, characteristic of deep groundwaters throughout...
A recent study identifies a novel Alphacoronavirus isolated from bats, in Korea, in 2020.
Candida auris is an emerging multidrug-resistant yeast. We describe an ongoing C. auris outbreak that began in October 2019 in Los Angeles, California, USA. We used genomic analysis to determine that isolates from 5 of 6 patients belonged to clade III; 4 isolates were closely related. Candida auris was isolated from a patient in Tokyo, Japan in 2009 ( 1), although clinical isolates have been retrospectively identified from as early as 1996 ( 2). Since then, bloodstream and other invasive infections caused by C. auris have been reported worldwide ( 5). Many strains of C. auris are multidrug...
