Feature Reviews on Food Microbiology
The connection between food microbiology, safety, and human health has never been more important to food science, industry, and society [...].
Read PDFFood safety culture and the control of microbial communities in food production environments
Food safety risks are controlled in agrifood settings by reducing the microbial burden in food ingredients and food production environments. Hygiene programmes involve an incremental implementation of chemical treatments (e.g., disinfectants) and engineering controls (e.g., …
Read PDFNavigating prokaryotic viral genome analysis from metagenomic data
Viruses play crucial roles in microbial ecosystems, yet viromic analysis remains challenging due to the field's complexity and rapid evolution. This minireview supports non-specialists through the evolving landscape of viromics, focusing on the analysis of …
Read PDFGUTAID: a curated database linking gut microbial antigens to autoimmune mechanisms
Gut dysbiosis is widely recognized as a contributor to autoimmune diseases, as it can lead to the expression of microbial antigens that disrupt immune regulation through specific molecular mechanisms. However, existing resources do not systematically …
Read PDFTowards standardization in pig microbiome research based on a comprehensive twenty-year review
The pig microbiome plays a crucial role in animal health, productivity, and meat quality. This comprehensive review analyzed 438 publications on pig microbiome studies from 2003 to 2023, focusing on experimental methodologies, bioinformatic tools, sequencing …
Read PDFDecoding extremophiles: insights from bioinformatics, machine learning, and data-driven approaches
Life thrives in Earth's most inhospitable environments, from boiling hydrothermal vents to hypersaline lakes and frozen polar deserts, thanks to the remarkable adaptations of extremophilic microorganisms. The study of these organisms has rapidly evolved from …
Read PDFEnvironmental Risks of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Elements: Occurrence, Fate, and Assessment
Antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have emerged as critical environmental contaminants posing serious ecological and public health concerns. The widespread occurrence and proliferation of ARB and ARGs in wastewater treatment plants …
Read PDFThe livestock drinking water system as an active reservoir for antimicrobial resistance: A systematic review and one health gap analysis
Livestock drinking water distribution systems represent a critical but understudied interface in the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance. While engineered for production, these systems frequently function as unintended bioreactors where biofilms protect pathogens and facilitate horizontal …
Read PDFHypothesis of the Causal Mechanisms Between Gut Microbiota and Neurodegenerative Diseases: An Elucidation from Evolutionary Perspective and Metabolic Consideration
Growing evidence links gut microbiota dysbiosis to neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, yet the field remains dominated by correlational observations rather than experimentally validated causal mechanisms. In this hypothesis-generating Perspective, …
Read PDFWastewater-based surveillance of microbial pathogens in GCC countries (2015-2025): a scoping review and questionnaire survey with stakeholders
<h4>Background</h4>Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) of microbial pathogens has become an increasingly useful approach to monitor public health at the population level. However, these efforts varied widely in scope, methodology and focus within the GCC region. It …
