Mortality in very-low birth-weight (VLBW) infants accounts for up to 50%-70% of the neonatal mortality and up to 25%-30% of infant mortality. Despite the global increase in survival rates, this population remains at heightened risk …
Read PDF<i>Christensenella minuta</i> is one of the representative bacterial species of the human gut microbiome. We report the complete genome sequence of two strains, <i>Christensenella minuta</i> CIP 112228 and CIP 112229, isolated from two healthy volunteers.
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The vaginal microbiome plays an important role in female health; it is associated with reproductive success, susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections, and, importantly, the most prevalent vaginal condition in reproduction-age women, bacterial vaginosis (BV). Traditionally, …
Read PDFNewcastle disease (ND), caused by avian orthoavulavirus 1 (AOAV-1), poses a global threat to poultry and wild birds. In early 2025, an outbreak of pigeon paramyxovirus type 1 (PPMV-1, genotype VI AOAV-1) was detected in …
Read PDF<b>Background</b>: Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a mature T-cell lymphoma linked to textured breast implants. A leading hypothesis suggests that chronic inflammation, combined with immunological and genetic factors, drives its pathogenesis. Two …
Read PDFThis study examined the tracheal and cecal microbiome composition across three broiler chicken genotypes including a heritage New Hampshire × Columbian cross (NHC) and modern Ross × Ross 308 (R308) and Ross YP × Ross …
Read PDF<h4>Objective</h4>This study aimed to investigate the metagenomic and microbial diversity of dadih in Kampar District, Riau, Indonesia.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>The dadih samples were collected from dadih producers in three villages, namely Limau Manis (LM), Rumbio (RB), …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The gut microbiome possesses substantial genetic diversity that supports microbial adaptation, but the genomic variation patterns across its prokaryotic and viral populations remain incompletely characterized.<h4>Results</h4>Through integrated metagenomic and metatranscriptomic analysis of ten indigenous chicken breeds …
Read PDFAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a worldwide health concern that compromises the successful treatment of a growing array of infectious diseases, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. AMR is exaggerated by the spread of antimicrobial resistance …
Read PDF<i>Enterococcus faecalis</i> has been identified as a member of the vaginal community of healthy females, in addition to its association with vaginitis and urinary tract infections. Here we present the hybrid assembly of an <i>E. …
Read PDFSelective antimicrobial dry cow therapy (DCT) is implemented as part of mastitis control programs, particularly in dairy cows with recent clinical episodes or elevated somatic cell counts. In this study, we investigated the effects of …
Read PDFThis study aimed to analyse the microbiome of chronic infected diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) using parallel methods: traditional culture (the culturome), 16S rRNA gene sequencing (the microbiome) as well as the Antibiotic Resistance Gene (ARG) …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Advancements in sequencing technologies, such as Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), have significantly improved microbiome research. However, variations in sequencing platforms, primer selection, and DNA quality may influence microbial diversity assessments, particularly in studies …
Read PDF<i>Coxiella burnetii</i> (<i>C. burnetii</i>) is a zoonotic pathogen with significant public and veterinary significance. Whilst livestock are considered as primary reservoirs of the pathogen, ticks play a crucial role in transmission and environmental contamination. Within …
Read PDFShrimp aquaculture is a rapidly expanding food sector; however, its sustainability is challenged by disease outbreaks often linked to imbalances in the microbiome. Here, we characterized the microbial communities in the intestines of shrimp and …
Read PDFWe report the draft genome sequence of <i>Babesia gibsoni</i> detected in a domestic dog in New Zealand. A high-quality near-complete genome, comprised of an apicoplast, mitochondrion, and four chromosomes, was produced through long-read metagenomic sequencing.
Read PDFMicrobiome research has shown significant potential in enhancing poultry health and productivity. Despite the increasing volume of data linking the microbiota with various host traits, challenges persist regarding the consistency and reproducibility of findings. A …
Read PDFWastewater can be a useful sample to monitor disease outbreaks in the community, as it was demonstrated during the recent Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic. Due to housing conditions, diseases can rapidly spread …
