Key determinants of the fungal and bacterial microbiomes in homes [PDF]

Environmental Research, 2015
The microbiome of the home is of great interest because of its possible impact on health. Our goal was to identify some of the factors that determine the richness, evenness and diversity of the home's fungal and bacterial microbiomes.Vacuumed settled dust from homes (n=35) in Cincinnati, OH, were analyzed by pyrosequencing to determine the fungal and ...

Effect of medicinal and food homologous plants polysaccharides on animal nutrition and health: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract As one of the most important components of foods, animal meat provides a lot of protein, fat, and energy for humans. However, nutrition and health of animals directly affect the healthiness of human, especially antibiotic residues in animals induced by abuse of antibiotics.

Control of Postharvest Brown Rot (Monilinia laxa) Disease Through Copper Sulfate and Antagonistic Bacterial Combinations

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Control of brown rot (Monilinia laxa) in nectarines using eco‐friendly alternatives. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (B10W10) and Pseudomonas sp. (B11W11), alone or with copper sulfate, significantly reduced fungal growth in vitro and disease severity in vivo.

Vertebrate Hosts as Islands: Dynamics of Selection, Immigration, Loss, Persistence, and Potential Function of Bacteria on Salamander Skin. [PDF]

, 2016
Skin bacterial communities can protect amphibians from a fungal pathogen; however, little is known about how these communities are maintained. We used a neutral model of community ecology to identify bacteria that are maintained on salamanders by ...

Environmental microbiome, human fungal pathogens, and antimicrobial resistance

Trends in Microbiology
Traditionally, antifungal resistance (AFR) has received much less attention compared with bacterial resistance to antibiotics. However, global changes, pandemics, and emerging new fungal infections have highlighted global health consequences of AFR. The recent report of the World Health Organisation (WHO) has identified fungal priority pathogens, and ...
