Whole genome metagenomic analysis of the gut microbiome of differently fed infants identifies differences in microbial composition and functional genes, including an absent CRISPR/Cas9 gene in the formula-fed cohort [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Advancements in sequencing capabilities have enhanced the study of the human microbiome. There are limited studies focused on the gastro-intestinal (gut) microbiome of infants, particularly the impact of diet between breast-fed (BF) versus ...

Development of Peptide Glucosyltransferase Inhibitors With Comprehensive Coverage Across Clostridioides difficile Toxin B Sub‐Types

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clostridioides difficile infection presents an escalating clinical challenge due to the proliferation of hypervirulent and antibiotic‐resistant strains. The primary symptoms of disease, namely colitis and diarrhea, are induced by the release of two toxins: TcdA and TcdB.

Imaging of Abdominal Complications in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy and remains one of the most common causes of cancer‐related death in children and adolescents. Five‐year overall survival rates now exceed 90% with current multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens. This improvement, coupled with the toxicity of chemotherapy, has led to the

GrapeTree : visualization of core genomic relationships among 100,000 bacterial pathogens [PDF]

, 2017
Current methods struggle to reconstruct and visualise the genomic relationships of ≥100,000 bacterial genomes. GrapeTree facilitates the analyses of allelic profiles from 10,000's of core genomes within a web browser window.

A novel kirkovirus may be associated with equine gastrointestinal disease

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Many cases of equine enterocolitis are suspected to be infectious in nature, but no pathogen is identified in many cases. Objectives Perform next‐generation sequencing on faeces collected from cases of equine enterocolitis for the presence of novel viruses and determine if an identified novel virus is associated with cases of equine

The Bacterial Gut Microbiota of Adult Patients Infected, Colonized or Noncolonized by Clostridioides difficile

Microorganisms, 2020
Gut microbiota composition in patients with Clostridioides difficile colonization is not well investigated. We aimed to identify bacterial signatures associated with resistance and susceptibility to C.

Phages and human health: More than idle hitchhikers [PDF]

, 2019
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea. Phages have diverse morphologies and can be coded in DNA or RNA and as single or double strands with a large range of genome sizes. With the increasing use of metagenomic sequencing

Stewardship of Molecular Diagnostics in Transplant Viral Infections

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transplant environment requires special considerations when testing for viral infections as immunosuppression results in atypical infection profiles. Microbes otherwise considered commensals or causing mild disease can lead to severe infections in transplant environments. Therefore, guidelines tend to recommend broader microbial testing in
