The Candida parapsilosis complex (CPC), comprising Candida parapsilosis sensu stricto, Candida orthopsilosis, and Candida metapsilosis, is a significant cause of nosocomial candidemia worldwide. Because species-specific drug resistance profiles vary,...
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by impaired innate immune responses and frequent gastrointestinal involvement, yet the reorganization of gut microbiome–metabolome interactions in CGD remains poorl...
This study evaluated the effect of different lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains on the fatty acid composition and volatile profile of reduced-sodium fermented sausages. Six treatments were produced: a control with a standard sodium content (Con) and...
Selenium (Se) biotransformation by microorganisms determines how inorganic selenium is redistributed into organic selenium, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), methylated species, and other intracellular or extracellular pools. Although microbial seleniu...
The prevalence and characteristics of resistant, biofilm-forming Candida strains in healthy individuals remain poorly understood. In this work, Candida strains from 23 healthy volunteers and 11 candidiasis patients (n = 34) were isolated and characte...
The gut microbiota plays an important role in immune homeostasis, allergic disease pathogenesis, and drug metabolism, potentially influencing therapeutic efficacy and safety. Conversely, pharmacotherapy may modify gut microbial composition and functi...
Ultraviolet B (UV-B) irradiation has been investigated as a non-thermal treatment for fresh produce, but its antimicrobial effectiveness may vary during storage. This study evaluated the effects of UV-B irradiation on microbial populations and qualit...
Background: Intra-oral halitosis is sustained by tongue-coating biofilm, but ecological and host inflammatory responses to adjunctive therapy remain unclear. Methods: In a 4-week randomized pragmatic trial (117 adults; 39 per arm; ClinicalTrials.gov...
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a highly prevalent fungal infection primarily caused by Candida albicans, although the incidence of non-albicans Candida species has recently increased. This study aimed to characterize the antifungal susceptibility...
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are diseases that significantly impact public health, traditional PCR panels often fail to detect acute respiratory infections (ARIs) due to unmonitored viruses, primer mismatches, or geographically isolated varian...
Excessive nitrogen (N) fertilization in rice production causes severe environmental consequences, and slow-release N fertilizer and green manure incorporation have been proposed as a sustainable alternative. However, how such integrated practices imp...
Microbiome diversity varies significantly across countries and social groups due to geographic, ethnic, lifestyle, and dietary factors, with populations in traditional and rural settings tending to harbor more diverse microbial communities than those...
Streptomyces spp. are abundant actinobacteria in the rhizosphere, recognized for their biocontrol and plant growth-promoting (PGP) abilities. However, their potential as biofilm-based biofertilizers and the use of inert carriers for formulation remai...
The gut microbiome plays a key role in host physiology and is influenced by multiple factors, including environmental conditions. However, the effects of host environment on the gut microbiota of Neotropical primates remain poorly understood. This st...
Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is a zoonotic pathogen capable of causing meningitis and other diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its ability to cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and invade the central nervous system remain incompl...
HLA-G polymorphisms and various oncogenic viruses have been demonstrated in cancers of different anatomical sites. The study aimed to investigate the distribution and potential association of HLA-G alleles and the presence of human papillomavirus (HP...
Interactions between soil bacteria and free-living bacterivorous nematodes influence nutrient cycling, microbial community dynamics, and rhizosphere processes, yet the behavioural responses of nematodes to bacterial traits remain poorly understood. T...
Frankliniella occidentalis, an important crop pest worldwide, is mainly controlled by chemical pesticides, triggering resistance in thrips populations. Among the biological control methods evaluated in recent years, entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) appea...
Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC), commonly defined as ≥3 symptomatic episodes per year, affects an estimated 138 million women worldwide. This structured narrative review (PubMed/MEDLINE and open-indexed sources, January 2020–July 2...
Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Senftenberg comprises a heterogeneous group of nontyphoidal Salmonella strains frequently detected in animal feed, feed ingredients, feed-manufacturing facilities, poultry production, and a wide range o...
Background: The monocarpic woody bamboo Chimonobambusa opienensis flowers synchronously and undergoes post-flowering senescence, imposing high nutritional demands during reproduction. Field investigations have documented increases in rhizosphere nutr...
The importance of Pestalotiopsis and Neopestalotiopsis species as pathogens of economically important plants is steadily increasing, while knowledge of their phytotoxic metabolites remains limited. Eighteen new strains of pestalotioid fungi were isol...
Low-cost lignocellulosic residues offer a sustainable route to fungal pigment production. In this study, six biomass residues were evaluated as culture-medium supplements for Arthrinium phaeospermum, and their chemical constituents that may be associ...
Javier Sebastian Cazares-Benítez was not included as an author in the original publication [...]
The earliest gut and nasal bacterial community profiles after birth remain incompletely characterized, particularly when both sites are examined in parallel. We aimed to characterize these profiles according to delivery mode within the first 48 h of...
