Campylobacter species are considered to be the leading bacterial cause of human gastroenteritis globally. Consumption of undercooked or contaminated food, such as chicken, is the main cause of human campylobacteriosis. Despite this significant zoonot...
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen, with swine identified as a major reservoir. Despite the global significance of HEV, epidemiological data regarding its presence in Greek pig farms remain limited. This study investigated the p...
Over the past few years, consumers’ preference for wines with a distinct regional identity has shifted producers to adopt traditional grape varieties and has increased interest in the indigenous grapevine microbiome, due to its potential influe...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health concern in companion animals, yet systematic surveillance in North Macedonia is lacking. This study investigated the prevalence of resistance in Escherichia coli isolated from 112 fecal sa...
True morels (Morchella spp., Morchellaceae, Ascomycota) are a rare and highly valuable edible fungus. As the morel cultivation scale has expanded, obstacles to continuous cropping have come to the fore. This study investigates the specific biological...
Thermal algae are extremophilic organisms that live in one of the harshest environments in the world and thrive in waters with temperatures of up to 90 °C. They have gained attention due to their special ecological adaptations, their great biotec...
CTX-M beta-lactamases have become the predominant extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) globally, contributing to increased patient morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. This study investigated the prevalence of biofilm formation and CTX-M...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a threat to human, animal, and environmental health. This study evaluated the potential role of birds as AMR dispersers in white storks as a model species investigating dispersal between locations connected b...
Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (ARB) in the ESKAPE group include Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. These pathogens continue to pose a global th...
Traditional sausage in the Republic of Kosovo has been produced for centuries as a traditional method of preserving the nutritional value of meat. In sausage fermentation, natural microbiota such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Micrococcaceae usual...
Expanding the capacity of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) beyond species identification to strain typing becomes a new challenge in clinical microbiology. This study demonstrated a specific...
Bacillus cereus AS_3 and Bacillus cereus AS_5 are bacterial endophytes isolated from sterilized leaves of the medical plant Alectra sessiliflora, which were previously identified using 16S rRNA sequencing. Here, we present the whole-genome sequencing...
Metagenomic investigation of gut microbiome is a comprehensive and rapid technique for the analysis and diagnosis of numerous diseases. The gut microbiome is an intricate ecosystem, coordinated by the interaction of various microbes and the metabolit...
Arid and semi-arid regions show distinctive bacterial groups important for the sustainability of ecosystems and soil health. This study aims to investigate how environmental factors across five Qatari soils influence the taxonomic composition of bact...
Listeria monocytogenes presents a considerable threat in cooked chicken products, especially those that are ready-to-eat, like deli meats. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of oregano essential oil (Satureja hortensis:...
The oral microbiome has garnered significant interest in recent years. Its profound implications for oral and systemic diseases have led to a considerable amount of research and analysis aimed at providing deeper insights into its composition. This s...
The most common reason for a decrease in the quantity and quality of produced crops is microbial diseases. The aims of this study were to evaluate the antagonistic activity of Streptomyces sp. CACIS-1.16CA against plant pathogenic fungi and to assess...
Soil microbial communities are fundamental to soil health and ecosystem functioning in agricultural landscapes. This study assessed how soil nutrient variation influences microbial community structure and ecosystem multifunctionality in tea gardens a...
