Prodigiosin, a red pigment with diverse biotechnological applications, is produced as a secondary metabolite by Gram-negative bacilli Serratia marcescens. In this study, we implemented an AI-guided hybrid optimization framework combining Response Sur...

Modern agriculture is increasingly challenged by fungal diseases, with phytopathogens such as Fusarium species causing substantial yield and quality losses in major crops globally. Although synthetic fungicides remain widely used, their intensive app...

The increasing reliance on chemical fertilizers has raised environmental concerns and highlighted the need for sustainable alternatives. This study aimed to (i) optimize the carrier-to-substrate ratios and moisture content during composting with pota...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a severe threat to global health by limiting treatment options and increasing clinical and economic burdens. This review synthesizes evidence showing that resistance evolution is strongly shaped by antibiotic pres...

The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance, especially in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), underscores the need for alternative therapies from natural sources. This study investigated the chemical composition, antibacter...

Hot springs represent unique geothermal ecosystems where extreme physicochemical conditions intersect with remarkable microbial diversity and metabolic innovation. These natural laboratories harbor specialized communities of thermophilic and hyperthe...

Sequencing technologies have reshaped the study of the subgingival microbiome, but selecting the appropriate method remains challenging because of differences in resolution, cost, host DNA contamination, and computational complexity. This review comp...

(1) Background: Carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (CREC) is widespread and resistant to almost all available antimicrobial agents. In this study, we aimed to assess the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of CREC isolated from retail meats i...

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a prominent pathogen implicated in a wide range of infections, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and septicemia. Its ability to acquire and disseminate antibiotic resistance, coupled with the rising prevalence of...

Background: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacilli (GNBs) significantly compromise the effective management of urinary tract infections (UTIs) worldwide. As antimicrobial resistance varies across regions, locally tailored data are essential...

The taxonomy of the genus Arcobacter has been subject to substantive turmoil in recent years following a proposal to subdivide the genus into six genera. This proposal has been challenged by a number of multidisciplinary studies employing phenotypic,...

Streptococcus uberis is a bovine mastitis pathogen with a demonstrated ability to form biofilms. However, the dynamics of this process remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize biofilm formation in four S. uberis s...

Globally, large quantities of animal waste and human sewage sludge are generated annually. Their application as soil amendments can enhance soil quality and support a circular economy. However, these wastes may harbour pathogenic bacteria, posing con...

Perinatal depression (PND) is a severe mood disorder affecting mothers during pregnancy and postpartum, with implications for both maternal and neonatal health. Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota-derived metabolites play a critical role i...

This study focuses on discovering novel quorum-sensing inhibitors (QSIs) from endophytes of Coelothrix irregularis, aiming to develop new strategies against drug-resistant bacterial infections. From the endophytic bacterial strain Bacillus strain W10...

Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria pose a serious global public health threat due to their high levels of resistance to multiple classes of antibiotics. This study aimed to characterize bacterial isolates obtained from clinical samples, evalua...

Migratory birds have been implicated in the spread of diverse emerging infectious pathogens, including West Nile virus, Usutu virus, Avian influenza viruses, Salmonella, Campylobacter, antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria, and antibiotic resistance...
