Infantis has recently become one of the most common serotypes of Salmonella isolated in the U.S. from raw meat samples collected in processing facilities and in retail stores. Investigations have determined that the majority of these isolates contain...

The epidemiology of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) has changed over the last two decades, due to the emergence of C. difficile strains with clinical relevance and responsible for nosocomial outbreaks with severe outcomes. This study reports...

Necrotizing soft tissue infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus [GAS]) are characterized by rapid and extensive necrosis of fascia and muscle. Molecular epidemiological studies have demonstrated a positive correlation betwe...

Introduction: The development of effective vaccines has partially mitigated the trend of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic; however, the need for orally administered antiviral drugs persists. This study aims to investigate the activity of molnupiravir in combi...

Gut microbiota performs indispensable functions in the pathophysiology of alcoholic hepatitis (AH). We investigated the effects of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus R0011 and Lactobacillus helveticus for gut microbial restoration toward eubiosis in patien...

The freshwater green microalgae, Dictyosphaerium chlorelloides (CCALA 330), has the ability to produce extracellular polysaccharides (EPS). Conditions for optimum growth and EPS overproduction were determined in laboratory-scale tubular photobioreact...

Escherichia coli, a major pathogen in poultry production, is involved in femoral head necrosis (FHN) in broiler birds. So far, the characterization and relationship of isolates in context with this disease are mainly based on phenotypic and genotypic...

Oceans hold a stunning number of unique microorganisms, which remain unstudied by culture-dependent methods due to failures in establishing the right conditions for these organisms to grow. In this work, an isolation effort inspired by the iChip was...

Brucellosis, mainly caused by Brucella (B.) melitensis, is associated with a risk of chronification and relapses. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) standards for B. melitensis are not available, and the agent is not yet listed in the EUCAST...

The production performance and disease resistance of laying hens decrease obviously with age. This study aimed to investigate the effects of supplementary Lactobacillus salivarius (L. salivarius) SNK-6 on laying performance, the immune-related gene e...
