Coastal environments have been recognized as key reservoirs for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The present study evaluated marine gastropods, Phorcus lineatus, as potential bioindicators to assess the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. P. linea...

Influenza A virus (IAV) poses significant public health challenges due to its rapid mutation and drug resistance, necessitating novel antiviral strategies. Rhododendron brachycarpum, traditionally employed in folk medicine to treat inflammatory condi...

Antibiotics are frequently used in the poultry industry, which has led to the emergence of bacterial strains that are resistant to antimicrobial treatments. The main objectives of this research were to conduct a multimodal risk assessment, to determi...

The cacao trade and export industry has been impacted by cadmium (Cd²⁺) accumulation in soils, as the metal is absorbed by plants and transferred to the tissues. Consequently, cacao beans and their derivatives can become contaminated, sometimes excee...

Background/Objectives: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria pose a global health threat, driving the need for alternative treatments. Medicinal plants such as Clerodendrum glabrum and Gardenia volkensii are promising sources of bioactive compounds. This stu...

Honey is a sugar-rich product produced by Apis mellifera bees, with significant variability in properties due to the influence of geographic and climatic conditions and the predominant flora in the production region. Economically, beekeeping is an ac...

In the search for new alternatives for controlling parasitic agents, proteases from Beauveria bassiana stand out. The aim of this study was to evaluate in silico and in vitro the ovicidal potential of B. bassiana proteases on Eurytrema pancreaticum J...

Community-acquired infections caused by Enterobacterales are a growing public health concern, particularly in border regions where patient mobility may influence resistance patterns. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance is critical for establi...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of COVID-19. The development of antiviral drugs for COVID-19 has been hampered by the requirement of a biosafety level 3 (BSL3) laboratory for experiments related to...

Brucellosis in small ruminants, primarily caused by B. melitensis, remains a significant threat to public health in many regions. Although early-age vaccination of breeding stocks was expected to facilitate infection control, this approach did not me...

Klebsiella variicola strains are Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria that usually cause bloodstream, urinary and respiratory tract infections. The aim of the study was to identify K. variicola strains, evaluate the susceptibility of strains to selected...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical public health issue in Bangladesh, where antibiotic use is widespread but often unregulated. This nationwide cross-sectional study (2017–2020) analyzed data from 26 public and private laboratories ac...

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a prevalent human pathogen affecting nearly half the global population, is a major contributor to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. H. pylori develops biofilms (BFs) allowing bacteria to evade the i...

Filamentous fungi hold critical industrial value for their ability to produce enzymes, antibiotics, organic acids, and food fermentation. GATA transcription factors (TFs) serve as central regulators of nitrogen metabolism, synthesis of secondary meta...

This study examined the prevalence, distribution, and detection methods linked to Treponema species associated with active bovine digital dermatitis (BDD) in dairy cattle. Tissue, surface swabs, interdigital space swabs, and faecal samples were colle...

The increase in the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has become a global public health concern. This study globally monitored the large-scale longitudinal trend of AMR in S. aureus and examined the various human and...

The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is among the most ecologically vulnerable and responsive areas worldwide. Studying the characteristics of soil microbial communities along altitudinal gradients on plateaus and revealing the response mechanisms and vertical...

Background: Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are remnants of ancestral retroviral infections integrated into the human genome, some of which maintain a residual active expression and retain physiological relevance. HIV-1 infection and antiretrov...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a versatile cereal crop with diverse applications in human food, animal feed, and other industries. This study investigated the effects of microbial inoculation on sorghum growth and nutrient uptake at two ferti...

Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is caused by bacterial infection, commonly treated with fluoroquinolones. Due to rising antibiotic resistance, alternative therapies such as phytotherapy are being explored. Lycopene, a potential antioxidant with a...

Ellagitannins are bioactive phenolic acids found in various fruits, plants, and beverages such as wine and spirits. This review aims to discuss the metabolism, absorption, and some health benefits related to the intestinal activity of these molecules...

Norovirus is a leading cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide and has been studied extensively from the perspective of life and biomedical sciences. However, no biothermodynamic analysis of Norovirus has been reported in the literature. Such an ana...

The use of biological agents in food preservation is considered a sustainable, modern, and promising approach, in which the use of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is a potential solution. Additionally, Vietnamese fermented cocoa beans, a naturally diverse...

Silver nanoparticles have gained significant attention due to their remarkable antimicrobial properties, making them ideal candidates for incorporation into various coatings. These coatings exhibit antimicrobial activity through multiple mechanisms,...

Zika and malaria are important vector-borne febrile illnesses in humans. In this study, we determined the circulation of Zika virus and malaria infections, their hotspots, and their predominant clinical features. A cross-sectional study was carried o...
