Background. The human gastrointestinal tract contains a large community of microorganisms, known as the gut microbiota. Their metabolic and immunological functions influence host physiology. Disruption of this community,...

Background: Irrigation during endodontic therapy is required in order to remove debris, tissue remnants, microbes and smear layer. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and Chlorhexidine (CHX) are the most commonly used irrigants....

Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is a major disease that affects soybean (Glycine max) production, primarily caused by the soilborne fungus Fusarium virguliforme in North America. Understanding the interactions among soybeans...

The Salado River Basin region is the most important livestock breeding area in Argentina, wherethe Lotus species has been traditionally cultivated as forages. Nearly 60% of their land surface is dominated by salt-affecte...

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells express a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR) that detects microbial metabolites presented by the nonpolymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC)–like molecule MR1. Th...

Abstract Background The microbiome is significant for conservation biology and should be considered in threatened species management programs. Commensal microbes contribute important functions for host health, while path...

Abstract Man-made synthetic/manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) are increasingly used in almost every scientific sector, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and drug industries worldwide. Rapid advances in nanotec...

ABSTRACT Studies on B-vitamin requirements of cattle, conducted more than 60 years ago, concluded that mature ruminants do not require B-vitamin supplements because the amounts of vitamins provided by the diet and synthe...

Brazil’s rich biological legacy makes it a prime location for studying novel microbes due to its favorable characteristics, which support a wide range of biotechnological applications, including the synthesis of metall...

The pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS2) affected the geriatric population. Among research models, Golden Syrian hamsters (GSH) are one of the most representative to study SARS2 pathogenesi...

Abstract The emergence of ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella poses a significant challenge to antimicrobial therapy. Probiotics that inhibit ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella offer a safer alternative with fewer side ef...

Scientific advances in nutrition of dairy cows in the first decade of the XXI century have occurred. This paper will review the most common additives fed to transition cows to decrease the incidence of metabolic disorder...

Helminths are a major health concern as over one billion people are infected worldwide and, despite the multiple efforts made, there is still no effective human vaccine against them. The most important drugs used nowaday...

Abstract The nutritional changes of giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) in response to the seasonal variations from bamboo shoots (rich in proteins) to fibrous leaves trigger significant alterations in the structure an...

BackgroundPatients admitted to intensive care units are frequently exposed to pathogenic microorganisms present in their environment. Exposure to these microbes may lead to the development of hospital-acquired infections...

Introduction: In recent decades, Caribbean coral reefs have lost many vital marine species due to diseases. The well-documented mass mortality event of the long-spined black sea urchin Diadema antillarum in the early 198...

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is a common upper respiratory tract (URT) pathobiont with high carriage rates in the upper airway disease chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). CRS is associated with increased prevalence and abund...

Abstract Background The complex relationship between the gut microbiome and immune system development during infancy is considered a key factor in the rising rates of pediatric allergic diseases. Food protein-induced all...

The rhizosphere is one of the most dynamic biological environments on Earth. Within this narrow zone surrounding plant roots, plants interact constantly with diverse communities of microorganisms including bacteria, fung...

Abstract Background After resection surgery, recurrence occurs in more than 30% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Previous studies have highlighted the role of the gut microbiota in CRC initiation and progression; how...

IntroductionHypogammaglobinemia in pregnancy can be an expected physiological change, resulting from hemodilution and active transfer of immunoglobulins to the fetus via the placenta. However, pregnancy can also reveal p...

BackgroundStreptococcus canis is an emerging zoonotic pathogen capable of causing infective endocarditis (IE) in animals and humans. In IE, bacterial biofilms form vegetations on heart valves, protecting microbes from a...

Nipah virus (NiV) is an emergent paramyxovirus that causes serious disease in humans and animals. Accurate quantification of neutralizing antibodies (nAB) against NiV is essential for vaccine development. The current sta...

The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease theory describes early life as a critical window for long-term metabolic health. Accumulating evidence has identified the gut microbiota as a key mediator of early-life met...
