Some evidence suggests an association between gut dysbiosis and cirrhosis progression. The authors investigated Gut Microbiome (GM) influence on 90-day mortality and hospitalization/rehospitalization rates in cirrhotic patients.Compensated/decompensated outpatients and decompensated inpatients were prospectively included and compared to healthy ...

Antibiotic resistance evolved via inactivation of a ribosomal RNA methylating enzyme. [PDF]
Modifications of the bacterial ribosome regulate the function of the ribosome and modulate its susceptibility to antibiotics. By modifying a highly conserved adenosine A2503 in 23S rRNA, methylating enzyme Cfr confers resistance to a range of ribosome ...

Firmicutes primarily drive odor emission profiles in poultry manure treatments
Odor emission during livestock manure treatment poses a threat to the environment and human health. However, the odor emission profiles and related factors of commonly employed poultry manure treatments have rarely been studied. Here, we explored the odor emission profiles of 3 common poultry manure treatments in China, namely, ectopic fermentation ...
