Article Synopsis
- Simple physico-chemical techniques help assess the composition and viability of plant seeds, aiding in agricultural applications.* -
- Advanced methods like TGA, EPR, and HPLC offer deeper insights into seed quality by measuring factors like water content and organic compounds with fewer extraction steps.* -
- The study tested these techniques on seed lots from three different plant species, highlighting HPLC's importance in Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for evaluating differences in seed compounds.*
Article Synopsis
- * Out of 781 tracheal swabs collected from farms showing no clinical signs, Mycoplasma spp. had a 100% flock-level prevalence, while individual animal levels showed 38.7% for Mycoplasma spp., 25% for Mycoplasma synoviae, and 6.4% for Mycoplasma pullorum, with no instances of M. gallisepticum.
- * The findings highlight the urgent need for ongoing monitoring of mycoplasma strains in poultry to mitigate economic
Urinary tract infection is one of the last diseases prevalent in humans, with various causative agents affecting 250 million people annually, This study analyzed UTIs in Iraqi patients caused by . ESBL enzymes contribute to antibiotic resistance. The research aimed to analyze ESBL gene frequency, resistance patterns, and genetic diversity of strains; Between Dec 2020 and May 2021, 200 urine samples were collected, cultured on blood agar, EMB, and MacConkey's plates, samples incubated at 37 °C for 24 h.

In this study, the prevalence, hemolytic activity, antimicrobial resistance profile, virulence factor genes, genetic diversity by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping, and adhesion potential were investigated in isolates from a Tunisian dairy farm environment and raw milk. A total of 200 samples, including bedding, feces, feed, liquid manure, and raw bovine milk, were examined.

Here, using previously published metagenomic data from different populations including Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, and India, we performed bioinformatic and statistical analysis to identify archaeal taxonomic and functional signatures related to CRC.
Methods: We analyzed published fecal metagenomic data from 390 subjects, comparing the archaeomes of CRC and healthy individuals.
