Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a Gram-negative, commensal/pathogenic bacteria found in human intestines and the natural environment. Pathogenic E. coli is known as extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) or intestinal pathogenic E. coli (InPEC). I...

Textile dyes pose a major environmental threat due to their toxicity, persistence in water bodies, and resistance to conventional wastewater treatment. To address this, researchers have explored biological and physicochemical degradation methods, foc...

This study aimed to characterize the fermentation of commercial xylooligosaccharide (XOS) using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum S61. XOS was utilized as the main carbon source in a modified MRS medium (MRSm) at concentrations of 1%, 2%, 4%, and 6% (w/v...

The continuous use of antibiotics is associated with many complications in the poultry industry. Probiotics have emerged as a viable alternative over the past few decades to counter the adverse effects of antibiotics. No candidate probiotic microorga...

In the recent past, microbiome manipulation has emerged as a promising approach to improve plant growth performance by exploring the deep insight of plant–microbe interactions. The exploration of a plant microbiome either present on an ectosphe...

The microbiome plays a crucial role in cancer development, influencing fundamental processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune system regulation, and host metabolism. Recent studies have highlighted a possible relationship between esophag...

This study explores the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in pregnant women in central Portugal. A retrospective observational study was conducted on 201 positive urine cultures from pregnant women at a hospital...

Background: Purple urine discoloration, known as purple urine bag syndrome (PUBS), has various etiologies ranging from benign to serious conditions. We present a case of cefiderocol-induced PUBS and review the literature. Methods: A 56-year-old bedri...

Members of the Dolichocephalovirinae subfamily are giant viruses with an elongated head and a flexible tail that is used to infect Caulobacter strains. In this paper, we describe the isolation and characterization of nine newly isolated phages and pr...

Background: Aeromonas hydrophila is a key pathogen affecting freshwater fish, including Labeo rohita (rohu), causing significant aquaculture losses. This study explores the role of intimin and invasin, known virulence factors, in A. hydrophila pathog...

Biofilms, formed by microbial communities that increase resistance to antibiotics, are responsible for chronic infections, making their combat a therapeutic priority. Taking this into account, the fruit Caryocar coriaceum stands out for its potential...

Phosphorus is a macronutrient crucially important for plant growth and development; its limited amount in soil and water poses bewildering concerns amongst agronomists. Externally applied phosphorus fertilizers can fulfil crops’ phosphorus need...

This study aimed at systematically exploring the seasonalities of bacterial identifications from 1 February 2014 to 31 January 2020 in hospitalized patients, considering the infectious site and the community-acquired or hospital-associated origin. Ba...

This research is focused on assessing the antibacterial properties of Pogostemon benghalensis stem bark and inflorescence extracts, as well as their inhibitory effects on xanthine oxidase, antioxidant potential, overall phenolic content, and flavonoi...

To safeguard against microbial diseases and maintain optimal silk yields, the sericulture industry relies on antibiotics to promote the health, well-being, and vitality of silkworms (Bombyx mori). Antibiotics are commonly incorporated into synthetic...

The cat oral microbiome plays an important role in maintaining host health, yet little is known about how to apply microbial data in a clinical setting. One such use of microbiome signatures is in cases of feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS), a s...
