Unexplored microbial diversity from 2,500 food metagenomes and links with the human microbiome.

Complex microbiomes are part of the food we eat and influence our own microbiome, but their diversity remains largely unexplored. Here, we generated the open access curatedFoodMetagenomicData (cFMD) resource by integrating 1,950 newly sequenced and 583 public food metagenomes. We produced 10,899 metagenome-assembled genomes spanning 1,036 prokaryotic and 108 eukaryotic species-level genome bins (SGBs), including 320 previously undescribed taxa.

Mental Health Evacuation Rate in USCENTCOM.

Background: Mental health diagnosis requiring further treatment is one of the top reasons for medical evacuation in the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) area of responsibility (AOR) as of 2022.

Metagenomic analysis of the bacterial microbiome, resistome and virulome distinguishes Portuguese Serra da Estrela PDO cheeses from similar non-PDO cheeses: An exploratory approach.

This study aimed to evaluate the microbiome, resistome and virulome of two types of Portuguese cheese using high throughput sequencing (HTS). Culture-dependent chromogenic methods were also used for certain groups/microorganisms. Eight samples of raw ewe's milk cheese were obtained from four producers: two producers with cheeses with a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) label and the other two producers with cheeses without a PDO label.

Characterization of Emergency Department Quality Assurance Cases Seen Within a Midwestern United States Health System.

Background: Hospital quality-assurance (QA) processes, including peer-review committees, seek to identify high-risk areas.

Purpose: To characterize emergency department (ED) cases sent for QA review.

Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted of ED cases sent to a QA committee from November 2018 through July 2022 at three midwestern US hospitals.
