Background Cholera can result in the expulsion of important microbiota from the gut and result in death if left untreated. The disease transmits mainly via drinking water carrying Vibrio cholerae; and household contacts (HHC) of cholera patients are at ...

Mining of Thermostable Alpha-amylase Gene from Geothermal Springs using a Metagenomics Approach [PDF]
The geothermal springs are said to contain the greatest diversity of undiscovered microorganisms, making them the best source for enzymes with economic significance. The untapped microbial diversity living in the geothermal springs can be mined for novel

A culture-independent approach to unravel uncultured bacteria and functional genes in a complex microbial community [PDF]
Most microorganisms in nature are uncultured with unknown functionality. Sequence-based metagenomics alone answers 'who/what are there?' but not 'what are they doing and who is doing it and how?'.

Introduction to Ancient Metagenomics
Ancient metagenomics applies cutting-edge metagenomic methods to the degraded DNA content of archaeological and paleontological specimens. The rapidly growing field is currently uncovering a wealth of novel information for both human and natural history,

DNA structure at the plasmid origin-of-transfer indicates its potential transfer range
Horizontal gene transfer via plasmid conjugation enables antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to spread among bacteria and is a major health concern. The range of potential transfer hosts of a particular conjugative plasmid is characterised by its mobility ...

Culture-independent detection and characterisation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. africanum in sputum samples using shotgun metagenomics on a benchtop sequencer [PDF]
Tuberculosis remains a major global health problem. Laboratory diagnostic methods that allow effective, early detection of cases are central to management of tuberculosis in the individual patient and in the community.

Metagenomics and probiotics [PDF]
The development of extensive sequencing methods has allowed metagenomic studies on the human gut microbiome to be carried out. This has tremendously increased our knowledge on gut microbiota composition and activity, allowing microbiota aberrations related to different diseases to be identified.
