We report the coding-complete genome sequence of <i>Cytomegalovirus humanbeta5</i> (BR/2023-012844/IEC/NS/2023), recovered from a nasopharyngeal swab collected from a 5-month-old infant with severe acute respiratory syndrome during a respiratory syncytial virus outbreak in Brazil.
Read PDFThe sustainability of poultry farming faces significant challenges due to rising feed costs and competition with human food sources. Dietary fibre offers a promising, cost-effective alternative due to its beneficial impact on gut health. We …
Read PDFGut microbiota dysbiosis is implicated in metabolic disorders, yet taxonomic and functional alterations in canine diabetes remain incompletely defined. Here, we performed shotgun metagenomic sequencing of fecal samples from 38 diabetic dogs and 37 healthy …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: Bartonella quintana is a recognized cause of blood culture-negative endocarditis, often associated with predisposing social factors or pre-existing valvulopathy. Diagnosis is challenging and relies on advanced microbiological techniques. CASE PRESENTATION: A 17-year-old Tibetan herdsman …
Read PDFThe interplay between diet and gut microbiome composition is complex. Faecal metabolites, the end products of human and microbial metabolism, provide insights into these interactions. Here, we integrate faecal metabolomics, metagenomics, and habitual dietary data …
Read PDFPractical laboratory of the most functional metagenomics courses focuses on activities aimed at providing specific skills in bioinformatics through the analysis of genomic datasets. However, sequence-based analyses of metagenomes should be complemented by function-based analyses, …
Read PDF<b>Background</b>: Mangrove ecosystems are critical coastal environments providing ecological services and acting as buffers between terrestrial and marine systems. Rising antibiotic use in aquaculture and coastal agriculture has led to the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria …
Read PDFHeat stress is a major constraint to productivity and physiological homeostasis in laying hens. This study investigated integrated responses to acute heat stress using a multi-omics approach, including performance traits, serum biochemical parameters, histology, hepatic …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Rabies is an acute zoonotic infectious disease caused by infection with a virus of the genus Lyssavirus. We report a case of paralytic rabies with a stroke-like onset, which was diagnosed using metagenomics next-generation sequencing …
Read PDFPlant viruses have detrimental effects on commercial tomato cultivation leading to severe economic consequences. Viral metagenomics studies provide the opportunity to examine in depth the virome composition of a sample set without any pre-existing knowledge …
Read PDFAntarctic krill (<i>Euphausia superba</i>) plays crucial roles in the Southern Ocean biological system, yet the ecological functions of their gut microbiota remain poorly understood. The study investigated the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota …

Read PDFIn flatfish aquaculture, labour-intensive tank cleaning represents a major operational challenge, limiting sustainability due to its high labour requirements and associated costs. We tested a new semi-closed recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) protocol for <i>Cynoglossus semilaevis</i> …
Read PDFCat scratch disease (CSD) is a common zoonotic infection caused by <i>Bartonella henselae</i> (<i>B. henselae</i>) and typically presents with fever and regional lymphadenopathy. However, skeletal involvement, including osteomyelitis and arthritis, is rare. We report a …
Read PDFNitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas, and microorganisms play a crucial role in its metabolism. While N2O cycling among soil microorganisms is well studied, there is a major knowledge gap regarding the distribution …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Civet-digested coffee originates from the feces of civets that consume coffee cherries, where microbial fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract imparts distinctive flavor attributes, thereby enhancing its global reputation and market value. Gut microbiota is considered …
Read PDFAntibiotic resistance remains one of the most formidable challenges to modern medicine, threatening to outpace therapeutic innovation and undermine decades of clinical progress. While resistance was once viewed narrowly as a clinical phenomenon, it is …
