Bacterial screening of platelet donations in England, 2014–2023

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Bacterial contamination of blood components is an ongoing problem in transfusion medicine. We analysed the bacterial screening data of platelets from England, 2014–2023, and compared this with data on reported near‐misses and transfusion‐transmitted infections (TTIs). Materials and Methods Anonymized data on bacterial

Serology based immunological crossreactivity among various isolates of streptococcus agalactiae from mastitic buffaloes

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
To measure the degree of immunological cross-reactivity among different isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae from mastitic cases of buffaloes and cows in four districts (Faisalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Sargodha), two tests were used.

Protective effect of snail secretion filtrate in an in vitro model of mastitis

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Background Bovine mastitis is inflammation of the mammary gland mainly caused by bacterial infections, with relevant economic costs and implications related to antibiotic resistance. In light of the increasing demand for sustainable therapies, this study evaluated the anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant effects of snail secretion filtrate (SSF ...

Deterministic model to evaluate the impact of lactational treatment of subclinical mastitis due to coagulase-negative staphylococci [PDF]

, 2011
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the most frequently isolated bacteria from milk samples in several studies worldwide. Despite their relative frequency, specific measures aiming at their control are not well established. One possible measure to

Natural Co‐Infection With Streptococcus agalactiae and Klebsiella pneumoniae in Cultured Nile Tilapia: Assessing Plant‐Based Therapeutics as Sustainable Alternatives to Antibiotics

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), a key species in global freshwater aquaculture and a major contributor to Bangladesh's fish production, is increasingly affected by bacterial infections that compromise farm productivity. This study investigated natural co‐infection of bacterial pathogens in diseased tilapia and assessed the effectiveness ...

Enhancing diabetic foot osteomyelitis diagnosis with metagenomics next‐generation sequencing, proof of concept

Diabetic Medicine, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2026.
The use of mNGS with the MinION tool clearly provides a significant advantage compared to routine culture by identifying a higher diversity of pathogens in diabetic foot osteomyelitis. It also highlights the value of this method in clinical decision making, despite the technical challenges inherent in metagenomic sequencing.

Streptococcus agalactiae infection in zebrafish larvae [PDF]

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2015
Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) is an encapsulated, Gram-positive bacterium that is a leading cause of neonatal pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis, and an emerging aquaculture pathogen. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a genetically tractable model vertebrate that has been used to analyze the pathogenesis of both aquatic and human ...

Unveiling the Probiotic Properties of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei UFTM 2.9 Through Probiogenomic Analysis

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 6, 29 March 2026.
Probiogenomic and in vitro analyses revealed that Lacticaseibacillus paracasei UFTM 2.9 does not exhibit virulence determinants, produces inhibitory compounds against pathogenic bacteria, and possesses 170 genes associated with probiotics, which corroborates its metabolic versatility and potential for survival and functionality in the gastrointestinal ...
