Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Data on Vibrionaceae Reported by Researchers at Hohai University (Characterization and Genomic Analysis of a Jumbo Phage, Pg216, With Broad Lytic Activity Against Several vibrio Species)
2025 JAN 31 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx Drug Daily -- Research findings on Gram-Negative Bacteria - Vibrionaceae are discussed
Article Description
In this study, a lytic phage, named PG216, was obtained from seawater collected in Qingdao, using Vibrio parahaemolyticus strain G299 as its host. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that phage PG216 has an icosahedral head with a diameter of 100 ± 6.7 nm and a contractible tail with a length of 126 ± 6.7 nm. The spot assay and EOP assay for host range testing revealed that the phage displayed extensive lytic activity against five Vibrio species: V. alginolyticus, V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, V. mimicus, and V. harveyi. The one-step growth curve indicated that the phage has a latent period of 25 min, a lysis duration of 115 min, and an average burst size of 135 ± 02 PFU/cell. The genome of PG216 is 244,027 bp in length with a GC content of 42.89%, and itcontains383 ORFs and encodes 28 tRNAs. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that PG216 belongs to the genus Schizotequatrovirus within the family Straboviridae. Phage PG216 was found to be able to eradicate mature biofilms produced by V. parahaemolyticus G299. Phage PG216 demonstrates notable lytic activity while lacking virulence and antibiotic-resistance genes and therefore might be a viable candidate for use in phage therapy of vibriosis.
