Phytomycobiomes refer to the fungal consortia that inhabit plant tissues and the rhizosphere. Their documented functions include nutrient mobilization, carbon retention, stress mitigation and pathogen suppression, although measurable effects often depend on plant and soil …
Read PDFThis study aimed to characterize the gut virome in children with allergic rhinitis (AR) and explore its interactions with immune markers and allergens. Metagenomic sequencing was performed on fecal samples from 16 AR and 17 …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Bovine endometritis is a prevalent uterine disease that directly curtails reproductive performance and indirectly reduces milk production by increasing calving intervals. Postpartum uterine bacterial infection is the primary cause of bovine endometritis, which is typically …
Read PDFHere, we report a partial genome sequence of varicella-zoster virus, recovered through metagenomic sequencing from a skin lesion sample collected from a 31-year-old male from Mombasa, Kenya, in August 2024. Phylogenetic analysis placed this isolate …
Read PDFThe continued emergence of pathogens, whether novel, re-emerging, or engineered, poses a persistent global biosecurity and public health challenge. Recent outbreaks, including COVID-19, Lassa fever, Marburg virus, mpox, and avian influenza, underscore the urgent need …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The denture-associated oral microbiome (DAOM) may act as reservoirs of pathogenic microorganisms with potential health effects.<h4>Objectives</h4>To characterize the compositional and functional activity of the DAOM in dentate and edentulous older adults residing in long-term care …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) is a disease syndrome that negatively impacts pig health, welfare and productivity. PWD typically occurs within two weeks of weaning and coincides with significant physiological changes, including villus atrophy and increased crypt …
Read PDFHypersaline environments harbor extremely dense bacterial and viral populations unique from other aquatic ecosystems. Changes to the hydrologic cycle and anthropogenic disturbances have the potential to alter these poorly described communities. Here, we aimed to …
Read PDFWe report 26 subsurface sediment and 9 groundwater metagenomes from the Oak Ridge Reservation at Oak Ridge, TN, USA. Samples were collected from various depths and phases (attached vs planktonic) to study subsurface microbial metabolism, …
Read PDFStudying gut microbiota evolution across animals is crucial for understanding symbiotic interactions but is hampered by the lack of high-resolution genomic data. Honeybees, with their specialized gut microbiota and well-known ecology, offer an ideal system …
Read PDFViruses and other extracellular genetic elements play essential roles in marine communities. However, methods to capture their full diversity remain limited by the constraints of bulk sequencing assemblers or pre-sorting throughput. Here we introduce environmental …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Hongta District of Yuxi city is located in the central region of Yunnan Province, Southwest China. Previous studies have shown a high prevalence of enteric infectious diseases in the area, which may be related to …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Brain metastasis (BM) is a common and highly lethal complication in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). People have paid great attention to exploring the relationship between gut microbiota and the occurrence and development …
Read PDFWaterborne pathogenic viruses present a critical public health challenge, particularly in potable water reuse systems where stringent safety standards must be met. Achieving the necessary Log Reduction Values (LRVs) for viruses in water treatment remains …
Read PDFMetagenomics is increasingly used for diagnosis in hospital settings. It is useful particularly in cases of unknown aetiology, where novel or difficult-to-diagnose pathogens are suspected, and/or following unexplained disease outbreaks. In this paper, we present …
Read PDFThe human bladder hosts a resident, low-biomass microbial community (urobiota) that has only become the subject of intense investigation in the last 15 years. The advantages that the urobiota may confer to the bladder, in …
Read PDFThe temporal dynamics of the gut microbiome are critical to human health, yet their patterns and underlying drivers remain poorly characterized at a monthly resolution and strain level. This knowledge gap limits the development of …
