Alternaria leaf blight (ALB) has emerged as a serious foliar disease limiting groundnut productivity in the semi-arid region of North Gujarat, India. The present investigation was conducted for three consecutive kharif seasons (2016–2018) to el...
The Pitt Bacteremia Score (PBS) grades bedside severity, but its discrimination varies across settings and its conventional threshold of 4 has been questioned. This single-centre retrospective cohort study included 74 randomly sampled adults with cul...
The causative agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, poses significant health and economic problems in the United States and elsewhere. Developing borreliastatic or borreliacidal agents requires the use of solvent vehicles. Vehicle tolerance ca...
Traditional meat and dairy products are widely consumed in Kosovo, but information on their microbiological safety, particularly regarding coagulase-positive staphylococci and Staphylococcus aureus, remains limited. This study evaluated the occurrenc...
This study investigated culturable bacteria isolated from the commercial oil palm biofertilizer CRPO for antagonistic activity against Ganoderma boninense and plant growth-promoting traits. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, the isolates were putativ...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacillus responsible for several infectious conditions, including ventilator-associated pneumonia, acute pneumonia, and chronic pulmonary infections. The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resi...
Malaria causes high mortality and morbidity globally, despite progress stalling due to parasite and vector resistance to current strategies. Hence, alternative interventions like vaccines and microbiome-based interventions are proposed to be useful t...
Tap water quality is a critical public health concern because microbiological contamination in water distribution systems may pose risks to consumers. Therefore, this study seeks to integrate conventional and molecular approaches. Traditional methods...
Recombination is one of the mechanisms driving SARS-CoV-2 evolution and can generate genomes with novel combinations of characteristics inherited from parental lineages. We analyzed a total of 1963 genomes available SARS-CoV-2 genome sequences collec...
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a neglected tropical disease and the most prevalent systemic mycosis in Latin America. Infection is caused by thermally dimorphic fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides, and disease outcome is largely determined by the na...
Cesarean section accounts for 21.1% of births worldwide and 13.4 million infants were born preterm in 2020, yet pathobiont carriage and resistance genes are usually reported separately, from stool alone. This review maps that interface across four an...
Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) is a major viral pathogen of horses, causing respiratory disease, abortion, and neurological disorders, while current vaccines provide only limited protection. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro cytoprotective...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent, life-threatening complication in people living with HIV (PLWH), particularly those with disseminated histoplasmosis (DH), yet the determinants of severe AKI and the role of endothelial dysfunction remain poorl...
Axenic and gnotobiotic aquatic animals provide direct experimental access to the causal roles of microorganisms in host physiology, nutrition, immunity and disease. Fish are particularly suitable vertebrate models because fertilization and embryogene...
The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major challenge to sustainable poultry production, food safety, and public health. It reduces the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics and highlights the need for alternative approaches...
Infectious bronchitis remains one of the most economically significant viral diseases in commercial poultry farming, despite the widespread implementation of vaccination programs. The high genetic variability of the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV)...
Cordyceps fumosorosea (Wise) is a prominent entomopathogenic fungus with a broad host spectrum. The specificity of its infection mechanisms across different hosts, especially among lepidopteran species, remains largely enigmatic. This study employed...
Tomato production is severely affected by bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum. This study assessed the biocontrol potential of bacterial strains isolated from the cladodes, roots, and rhizosphere of Opuntia dillenii for the sustainable ma...
Fresh fruits may act as vehicles for microorganisms introduced during cultivation, harvest, and handling, especially in settings where crop production occurs close to animal farming. In this study, three Gram-negative strains incidentally recovered d...
Background: Phage–antibiotic combinations (PACs) are increasingly proposed for difficult biofilm infections, but planktonic synergy does not reliably predict activity in mature multidrug-resistant (MDR) biofilms. Objective: To identify the biol...
Campylobacter spp. are major foodborne pathogens, and their increasing antimicrobial resistance poses a growing public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa, where surveillance remains limited. This study investigated the occurrence and antimicrobial...
Rapid and reliable molecular detection of Salmonella is important for laboratory investigation and infectious disease surveillance. This study compared six candidate molecular targets (hilA, invA, phoP, fimA, rpoS, and spvA) and developed a hilA-targ...
