Impact of antibiotics on the human microbiome and consequences for host health

Dhrati Patangia, Cornelius Anthony Ryan, Eugene Dempsey et al. · 13 Jan 2022

It is well established that the gut microbiota plays an important role in host health and is perturbed by several factors including antibiotics. Antibiotic-induced changes in microbial composition can have a negative impact on host health including reduced microbial diversity, changes in functional attributes of the microbiota, formation, and selection of antibiotic-resistant strains making hosts…

Lignin peroxidase functionalities and prospective applications

Ayodeji O. Falade, Uchechukwu U. Nwodo, Benson Chuks Iweriebor et al. · 7 Sep 2016

Ligninolytic extracellular enzymes, including lignin peroxidase, are topical owing to their high redox potential and prospective industrial applications. The prospective applications of lignin peroxidase span through sectors such as biorefinery, textile, energy, bioremediation, cosmetology, and dermatology industries. The litany of potentials attributed to lignin peroxidase is occasioned by its versatility in the degradation of xenobiotics…

Metagenomic insights into the roles of <i>Proteobacteria</i> in the gastrointestinal microbiomes of healthy dogs and cats

Christina D. Moon, Wayne Young, Paul Maclean et al. · 17 Jun 2018

Interests in the impact of the gastrointestinal microbiota on health and wellbeing have extended from humans to that of companion animals. While relatively fewer studies to date have examined canine and feline gut microbiomes, analysis of the metagenomic DNA from fecal communities using next-generation sequencing technologies have provided insights into the microbes that are present,…

The incidence of antibiotic resistance within and beyond the agricultural ecosystem: A concern for public health

Chidozie Declan Iwu, Lisé Korsten, Anthony I. Okoh · 25 Jul 2020

The agricultural ecosystem creates a platform for the development and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance, which is promoted by the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the veterinary, agricultural, and medical sectors. This results in the selective pressure for the intrinsic and extrinsic development of the antimicrobial resistance phenomenon, especially within the aquaculture-animal-manure-soil-water-plant nexus. The existence of…

The rich somatic life of <i>Wolbachia</i>

Jose E. Pietri, Heather DeBruhl, William Sullivan · 26 Jul 2016

Wolbachia is an intracellular endosymbiont infecting most arthropod and some filarial nematode species that is vertically transmitted through the maternal lineage. Due to this primary mechanism of transmission, most studies have focused on Wolbachia interactions with the host germline. However, over the last decade many studies have emerged highlighting the prominence of Wolbachia in somatic…
