Article Synopsis
- Tropical estuarine systems are vital for biodiversity and nutrient cycling, but their microbiome diversity is still not fully understood, especially regarding seasonal changes.
- A study conducted in a South Atlantic mangrove-dominated estuary analyzed over 12 million metagenomic sequences and water quality, revealing different microbial families that thrived in wet versus dry seasons.
- The dry season had higher salinity and emphasized nitrogen processes, while the wet season showed increased greenhouse gas production, suggesting a link between microbial diversity and seasonal changes in gas emissions.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus produce antimicrobial substances against members of the skin microbiota in children with atopic dermatitis.

Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) species inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus has been described in the skin of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. This study evaluated whether Staphylococcus spp. from the skin and nares of AD and non-AD children produced antimicrobial substances (AMS).

This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of Enterococcus in pigeon feces and their antimicrobial and toxic metal susceptibility. Bacteria were isolated and identified from 150 fresh feces by phenotypic and genetic techniques.
