In aquatic systems, the impact of the viral regulation of bacterial carbon metabolism (BCM) is often overlooked compared with nutrient supply. To address this gap, an investigation was conducted in the euphotic and aphotic zones of a mesotrophic fres...

The application of bacteriophages to control foodborne bacterial pathogens in foods has gained traction in recent years. Poultry meat is a major source of Campylobacter jejuni, and a target for the application of bacteriophages. To offer the prospect...

The world is presently dealing with two pandemics—COVID-19 and antibiotic resistance (AMR)—that constitute a serious menace to public health on a worldwide basis [...]

Freeze drying is a commonly used method for preserving probiotic bacteria and live biotherapeutic products. Before drying, the bacterial cells are formulated with a lyoprotectant, and the design of these two process steps are crucial to achieve a hig...

Medium optimization and development for selective bacterial cultures are essential for isolating and functionalizing individual bacteria in microbial communities; nevertheless, it remains challenging due to the unknown mechanisms between bacterial gr...

Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) constitute a major challenge during the production of farmed Atlantic salmon in Norway. Preventive measures are considered to have a higher impact on sustainable control than lice treatment. Therefore, the studie...

This study appraises the progress in the understanding of the composition of the vaginal microflora with a focus on the microbiome during pregnancy. This knowledge is presented with the background of the global health contribution, along with the imp...

Although current diet and nutrition trends in developed countries led the poultry industry to shift to alternative breeding/production methods, such as organic and free-range, limited data on the microbiology of alternative compared to conventional p...

Controlled release fertilizers (CRFs) mitigate negative effects of high nitrogen (N) fertilization rates, such as N toxicity and soil N loss. However, it is unknown if potentially toxic rates of CRF and quick release fertilizer differentially affect...

Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of environmental factors that cause different kinds of stress, such as drought, salinity, heat, frost, and low nutrient availability. There are also biotic sources of stress, which include pathogens (bact...

Bacterial endosymbionts, in genera Wolbachia and Cardinium, infect various arthropods and some nematode groups. Manipulating these microbial symbionts presents a promising biocontrol strategy for managing disease-causing parasites. However, the diver...

Heterocyclic compounds can specifically regulate bacterial development by targeting specific bacterial enzymes and metabolic pathways. The ESKAPE pathogens are multidrug-resistant and cause nosocomial infections, which is one of the greatest challeng...

Factors associated with COVID-19 presentation in children with asthma are poorly defined. Our study aimed to assess the clinical course of COVID-19 in children with asthma, with particular attention to possible risk factors for severe disease and lon...

The interest in the use of probiotics to treat and prevent vaginal infections is known. The new regulation of medical devices by the European Medical Agency (EMA) introduced big changes in Europe regarding probiotic products for vaginal application,...

In the current study, Bacillus coagulants had a role in combating oxidative stress by inhibiting the growth of intestinal pathogens. However, there are few studies on reducing the mechanisms of oxidative stress. Therefore, this study aimed to explore...

There is no doubt that ruminants have the capability to digest lignocellulosic compounds and to utilize them as an absorbable form of energy by tapping into enzymes produced by the microbial population in their rumens. Among the rumens of various rum...

Characterizing metabolically active microorganisms using RNA-based methods is a crucial tool for monitoring and mitigating operational issues, such as oil biodegradation and biocorrosion of pipelines in the oil and gas industry. Our review, a pioneer...

The role of the microbiota in health and disease is a research area receiving much attention in academia and industry. A person’s microbiota refers to a community of microorganisms found mainly in the gut. It is estimated that around 39 trillio...

The discovery of novel probiotic bacteria from free-ranging animals for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in domestic pets is a unique approach. The chloroform extraction of gastrointestinal (GI) tract material was used to inactivate vegeta...
