Read PDFFew human metapneumovirus coding-complete genomes are available from Africa despite significance in optimizing local molecular diagnostics and global phylogeographic analysis. We report eight genomes recovered following nanopore metagenomic sequencing of samples collected in coastal Kenya …
Read PDFAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents an escalating global health threat, demanding diagnostic strategies capable of rapid, accurate, and comprehensive pathogen characterization. Genomic sequencing has transformed our ability to elucidate resistance mechanisms and track their evolution, yet …
Read PDFThe 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 PDFWu <i>et al</i> recently applied multi-region 16S rRNA sequencing to characterize the gastric cancer microbiome, demonstrating improved taxonomic resolution and detection sensitivity over conventional single-region approaches. While the study represents a valuable methodological step forward, …
Read PDFSpontaneous fermentation processes can promote uncontrolled microbial growth and increase the risk of foodborne contamination, making the characterization of artisanal beverages essential for consumer safety. This study investigated the microbial composition of quinoa-based rejuvelac, a …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: The composition of the gut microbiome has been linked to clinical responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), but its prognostic association with outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and melanoma remains incompletely defined. …
Read PDFPrenatal anxiety symptoms (AS) and depression symptoms (DS) in early pregnancy substantially impact maternal-infant health, but their pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. We conducted a multimodal assessment of 161 early-pregnant women. DS exhibited significantly longer standing/sitting …
Read PDFAnthropization of Palaeolithic caves may cause cave microbiota dysbiosis and promote the development of microbial stains on cave walls. In certain cases, chemical biocides have been used to mitigate rock alterations, but this may exacerbate …
Read PDF<h4>Objectives</h4>Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is a frequent complication of antibiotic use and is commonly used to investigate gut microbiota dysbiosis and potential therapeutic interventions in animals. Herbal medicines and natural product-derived compounds have shown promising effects …
