Quantifying Soil Microbiome Abundance by Metatranscriptomics and Complementary Molecular Techniques—Cross‐Validation and Perspectives

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Linking meta‐omics and biogeochemistry approaches in soils has remained challenging. This study evaluates the use of an internal RNA extraction standard and its potential for making quantitative estimates of a given microbial community size (biomass) in soil metatranscriptomics. We evaluate commonly used laboratory protocols for RNA processing,

Novel Metronidazole Conjugates as Antimicrobial Agents [PDF]

Drug Dev Res
ABSTRACT Metronidazole (MTZ) is one of the oldest and still used anti‐infective nitroimidazole group drug. Although it is effective against anaerobic bacteria, protozoa, and parasites in clinical settings, it lacks efficacy against aerobic microorganisms.

Dual Role of Natural Killer Cells in Early Pregnancy: Immunopathological Implications and Therapeutic Potential in Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion and Recurrent Implantation Failure

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
This article elaborates on the role of NK cells in early pregnancy from multiple perspectives, including molecular mechanisms and therapeutic interventions. It also discusses how NK cell dysfunction contributes to RSA and RIF, aiming to provide insights for future research on NK cell mechanisms and clinical treatment of RSA and RIF.

Clothing as microbial fomites  in an equine veterinary hospital—Could interventions reduce nosocomial infection risk?

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Clothing in human medical environments has been shown to be contaminated with micro‐organisms. There is little work in this area in the veterinary environment and none in equine veterinary environments. Objectives To characterise microbial contamination of veterinary clothing throughout a work shift in an equine hospital. The pattern

Protein import into bacterial endosymbionts and evolving organelles

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The acquisition of bacterial endosymbionts by ancient host cells followed by massive adaptation of the partners gave rise to mitochondria and plastids. Today, various systems with younger and less integrated endosymbionts provide insights into the initial steps in the endosymbiont to organelle transition.

Characterization and ex vivo modelling of endodontic infections from the Arabian Gulf region

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim The microbiota of endodontic infections in patients from the Arabian Gulf region (AGR) is largely unexplored. While research in different global regions has investigated the microbial composition of such infections, studies using shotgun metagenomic sequencing (SMS) alongside culture‐dependent techniques (CDT) are limited.

Antibiotic‐Induced Dysbiosis of the Gut Microbiota Shifts Host Tryptophan Metabolism and Increases the Susceptibility of Mice to Pulmonary Infection With Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Immunology, EarlyView.
Antibiotic‐induced dysbiosis of the gut microbiota shifts host tryptophan metabolism and impairs the innate immune response during Pseudomonas aeruginosa pulmonary infection. (A) Eubiosis: During eubiosis, the intestinal microbiota metabolises tryptophan into indole metabolites, which keeps tryptophan levels within normal serum concentrations. However,

The composition of the faecal microbial flora of milking cows on feeds containing urea as the sole or partial source of nitrogen

Agricultural and Food Science, 1980
Using a variety of culture media, counts of live bacteria in the faeces of milking cows on purified, protein-free feed in which urea was the only source of nitrogen (0-cows) and on urea-rich, low-protein feed (ULP-cows) were made. Samples were taken from
