ABSTRACT Milk and milk powder are central to global nutrition, yet remain vulnerable to adulteration and contamination. Adulteration using water, urea, ammonium sulfate, thiocyanates, detergents, melamine, or compositional changes with whey and carbohydrate fillers undermines nutritional quality, reduces consumer confidence, and challenges regulatory ...

Colonisation resistance in the sand fly gut:Leishmania protects Lutzomyia longipalpis from bacterial infection [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Phlebotomine sand flies transmit the haemoflagellate Leishmania, the causative agent of human leishmaniasis. The Leishmania promastigotes are confined to the gut lumen and are exposed to the gut microbiota within female sand flies.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating lung disease of uncertain etiology with few specific and effective therapeutic agents approved for its treatment. We examined the underlying processes and the impact of icariin (ICA) on a bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis model.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), a complication in approximately 4.5% of pregnancies, is a leading cause of preterm birth and significant perinatal morbidity. A substantial body of evidence implicates vaginal dysbiosis a departure from a healthy, Lactobacillus‐dominant microbiome in the pathogenesis of PPROM.

The Transgenerational Link: Breeder Gut Microbiota and Broiler Progeny Development
The breeder hen gut microbiome, shaped by maternal factors and targeted nutrition, drives reproductive performance and transmits beneficial microbes that programme gut health, immunity, and growth in progeny. Microbiome‐focused interventions can optimise egg quality, hatchability, progeny performance, and sustainability in poultry production.

Analysis of the first temperate broad host range brucellaphage (BiPBO1) isolated from B. inopinata
Brucella species are important human and animal pathogens. Though, only little is known about mobile genetic elements of these highly pathogenic bacteria. To date, neither plasmids nor temperate phages have been described in brucellae.

Community Complexity Does Not Weaken Pairwise Coevolution in a Soil Bacterial Community
Exploitative interactions, such as predator–prey or host–parasite, shape microbial community structure and drive reciprocal adaptation. In this study, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Variovorax sp. were evolved both in isolation and within a five‐species community, revealing asymmetrical coevolution: Variovorax adapted more rapidly, while Pseudomonas ...
