Clinics and hospitals inherently increase the risk of adverse events, including hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) transmitted between healthcare personnel and patients. This study aimed to identify bacterial strains present on frequently touched su...

Marine sediments are recognized as crucial reservoirs of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the antibiotic resistome in sediments of the East China Sea, an area heavily impacted by human activities, has not been thoroughly studied. Here, we...

A sustainable Goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) planting system that integrates forage radish cover crops (Raphanus sativus L.) and animal manure has been established in northwestern China. This study investigated the effects of different cropping syst...

The Minute Virus of Canines (MVC), belonging to the genus Bocaparvovirus within the family Parvoviridae, is associated with enteritis and embryonic infection in neonatal canines. Viral attachment to host cells is a critical step in infection, and vir...

The isolation and characterization of novel probiotics from dairy products, fermented foods, and the gut have gained significant attention. In particular, Streptococcus salivarius shows promise for use in oral probiotic preparations. In this study, w...

Salmonellosis is the second most common foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis in humans in Finland and worldwide. In Finland, a national salmonella control program covering cattle, pigs, and poultry, as well as the meat and eggs obtained from them, has...

Fungal endophytes of medicinal plants produce diverse secondary metabolites and extracellular enzymes with therapeutic and biotechnological potential. However, the biological and biotechnological potential of fungal endophytes from South African medi...

The fecal microbiomes of 15 infants with neuroblastoma (NB) at the onset of the disease and after standard-of-care therapy have been prospectively analyzed compared to those of age-matched healthy infants. By applying several algorithms to 16S sequen...

Red mud has been demonstrated to improve the methane production performance of anaerobic digestion (AD). However, the influence of red mud on ammonia nitrogen inhibition during AD through the mediating role of bacteria–phages interactions in th...

Reducing crude protein (CP) in weaner pig diets lowers post-weaning diarrhoea risk but may impair growth performance. This study aimed to identify the beneficial effects of organic acid (OA)-preserved grain and butyric acid supplementation on gut hea...
