Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

From pathogen to “living drug factory” innovative strategies and clinical translation of bacteria as programmable intelligent vectors for cancer therapy

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
Engineered bacteria serve as smart, living therapeutics that target tumors, deliver drugs, and remodel immunosuppressive microenvironments. This review highlights their potential to potentiate immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, offering a promising paradigm for precise and synergistic cancer treatment. Abstract The dynamic interplay between

Diagnosis of bacteraemia in neonatal foals using 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sepsis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in foals. Early diagnosis can improve outcome but is complicated by non‐specific clinical signs and delayed confirmation of infection via blood culture. Molecular assays represent a rapid and more sensitive alternative.

Focal symmetrical encephalomalacia in sheep Encefalomalacia focal simétrica em ovino

open access: yesPesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2010
Focal symmetrical encephalomalacia (FSE) is the most prominent lesion seen in the chronic form of enterotoxemia by Clostridium perfringens type D. This paper reports FSE in sheep in Brazil. Six deaths occurred within a seven days period in a flock of 70,

Research Note: First report on the detection of necrotic enteritis (NE) B-like toxin in biological samples from NE-afflicted chickens using capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2021
: Necrotic enteritis (NE) is a devastating enteric disease caused by Clostridium perfringens type G. One of the pore-forming toxins, NE B-like (NetB) toxin, secreted by pathogenic C. perfringens type G, has been proposed to be the main virulent factor in

Nutritional and environmental determinants of maturation and disruption of the early life gut microbiome: A narrative review

open access: yesJournal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract The first 1000 days of life represent a critical window for gut microbiome assembly, with lifelong implications for child growth, immune development, and disease risk. This review synthesizes evidence on maternal, perinatal, and especially nutritional factors that influence early‐life intestinal colonization and highlights the consequences of ...

Desk studies on feasibility of horizontal standard rapid methods for detection of Clostridium perfringens and enterococci in sludges, soil, soil improvers, growing media and biowastes

open access: yes, 2004
The existing methods currently available for the detection and enumeration of clostridia and enterococci in sludges and treated biowastes have been evaluated with a view to possible standardisation. The main methods used for the detection and enumeration

Mapping of the continuous epitopes displayed on the Clostridium perfringens type D epsilon-toxin

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2017
The epsilon toxin, produced by Clostridium perfringens, is responsible for enterotoxemia in ruminants and is a potential bioterrorism agent. In the present study, 15 regions of the toxin were recognized by antibodies present in the serum, with different immunodominance scales, and may be antigen determinants that can be used to formulate subunit ...

Assessment of Lectin Staining Biomarkers for GNE Myopathy Gene Therapy

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims GNE myopathy (GNEM) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the UDP‐N‐acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) 2‐epimerase/N‐acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) kinase (GNE) gene, which encodes a required enzyme for sialic acid (SA) biosynthesis.
