Antimicrobial resistance in bacteria associated with aquaculture, such as Edwardsiella spp., represents an emerging challenge because of their relevance to fish health and their potential impact on animal, environmental, and human health. In this stu...

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have dominated food fermentation globally and are ingrained in many food cultures. Obesity is a global health concern, and LAB ingestion is known to exert anti-obesity effects in animals. However, the characteristics of ind...

Extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) poses escalating threats to human and veterinary health amid rising antimicrobial resistance. We isolated a highly virulent ExPEC strain RZ-13 (ST345, O134:H21) from diarrheic calves at a large beef...

Paenibacillus polymyxa is a promising biocontrol agent based on many applications in agriculture. In this study, characterization of a novel strain JX-1 was performed by various comparative phenotypic assays including cell wall-degrading enzyme activ...

The ocular surface microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining ocular health, preventing infections, and regulating immune responses. Contact lens (CL) wear has been linked to alterations in microbial composition, potentially leading to dysbiosis...

The overreliance on non-renewable phosphate fertilizers necessitates sustainable alternatives for phosphorus recycling in agriculture. This study aimed to characterize and enhance the metabolic activity of phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms isolat...

Growth stage alters substrate availability and moisture in oats, potentially driving microbial succession and metabolite formation during ensiling. Oats were harvested at flowering (FS), milk ripening (MS) and wax ripening (DS) stages and vacuum-bag...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and have emerged as key modulators of host–pathogen interactions during bacterial infection. In this narrative review, we synthesize recent experimental and mec...
