Zoological gardens represent unique sites for vector and vector-borne disease studies. They offer suitable breeding habitats for vector development and a diverse range of vertebrate hosts for blood feeding of insect vectors. This study aimed to asses...

Drought significantly reduces global crop yields and agricultural productivity. This study aims to isolate drought-tolerant PGPR strains and evaluate their effects, both individually and in combination with salicylic acid (SA), on cowpea plants growt...

Probiotics have emerged as gut modulators, capable of restructuring microbial communities to enhance animal health and performance. This review synthesizes peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025, retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science,...

The microbiota, comprising microorganisms and their genes, plays a crucial role in health and disease susceptibility. Recent advances have enhanced our understanding of these microbial communities in dogs, which vary by body site—skin, ears, ey...

Rhamnolipids (RL) are biosurfactants produced mainly by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains that have environmental and industrial applications. However, their industrial-scale production still faces the challenge of improving the efficiency and cost-effe...

Agro-industrial by-products are rich in polyphenols with potential applications as natural antimicrobials in food systems. This study evaluated the total polyphenol content (TPC) and antimicrobial activity of orange (Citrus sinensis), onion (Allium c...

The concept of using ‘acid-adapted’ challenge cultures in the microbial validation of food processes that incorporate an acidic treatment is that they would be more resistant to acid and require a robust process to obtain targeted log red...

High-quality bacterial genomes are essential for robust comparative genomics, reliable taxonomic assignment, and accurate pathogen and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance. Yet, public repositories still contain highly heterogeneous assemblies...

Widespread environmental contamination by perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) is raising particular concerns. PFAS are remarkably resistant to microbial degradation and have a profound impact on the structure and function of microbia...

Chemical fungicides play a key role in protecting crops, but their use can result in environmental problems. We tested a novel fungicide, composed of endophytic microorganisms, for its effect on wheat yield, grain quality, plant development, and the...
