Poultry production faces challenges from bacterial infections, aggravated by antibiotic resistance, affecting bird welfare and the industry's economy. Bacteriophages show promise as a solution, but their use in poultry systems is still limited. This study uses scientometric analysis to investigate the incidence of bacterial infections in poultry systems and bacteriophage application trends.

All three surfactants are susceptible to degradation, which can result in functionality loss and subsequent protein aggregation or free fatty acid particle formation. Consequently, quantitative, and qualitative analysis of surfactants is an integral part of formulation development, stability, and batch release testing.

Recent studies have shown that polysorbate 80 is readily degraded either through direct or indirect means. The degradation of polysorbate 80 causes a concern for the long-term stability of biopharmaceutical drug product, as the breakdown products of polysorbate 80 have been shown to cause adverse effects, such as formation of sub-visible and visible particles and mAb aggregation.

To date, there is no specific treatment established for sepsis. In the extracellular compartment, purines such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine play essential roles in the immune/inflammatory responses during sepsis and septic shock.

Based on this, this paper reviewed the literature on the subject by performing a bibliometric and scientometric analysis of articles published in peer-reviewed journals through 2021. We obtained 806 publications, of which 40% were published in the last 5 years, demonstrating an increase in interest in the subject.
