WGS showed that TVGHCRE225 acquired a novel hybrid virulence plasmid harbouring a set of virulence genes (iroBCDN, iucABCD, rmpA and rmpA2, and iutA) compared with the classic ST11 KPC-2-producing strain.

This is the first known case where an opportunistic infection with Kocuria has presented with an abdominal abscess in an immunocompromised individual who is on long term TNF inhibitors.
In this study, by observing BRD7 knockout mice for 6-12 months, we discovered that compared with BRD7<sup>+/+</sup> mice, BRD7<sup>-/-</sup> mice were more prone to inflammation, such as external inflammation and abdominal abscess.
