Transgenerational inheritance of hepatic steatosis in mice: sperm methylome is largely reprogrammed and inherited but does not globally influence liver transcriptome.

Nutritional challenges and obesity can contribute to the transmission of metabolic diseases through epigenetic mechanisms. Among them, DNA methylation stands out as a potential carrier of information because germline cytosine methylation responds to environmental factors and can be transmitted across generations. Yet, it remains unclear whether inherited DNA methylation plays an active role in the inheritance of metabolic phenotypes or solely influences expression of a few genes that cannot recapitulate the whole metabolic spectrum in the next generation offspring.

Prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli in urban and peri-urban garden ecosystems in Bangladesh.

In the past decade, there has been a notable rise in foodborne outbreaks, prominently featuring Escherichia coli as a primary pathogen. This bacterium, known for its prevalence in foodborne illnesses and as a reservoir of antimicrobial resistance, was isolated from raw vegetables, soil, and water samples collected from rooftop and surface gardens in urban (Dhaka North City Corporation; DNCC and Dhaka South City Corporation; DSCC) and peri-urban (Gazipur City Corporation; GCC) areas of Bangladesh. In this study, 145 samples including vegetables (n = 88), water (n = 27) and soils (n = 30) from DNCC (n = 85), DSCC (n = 30), and GCC (n = 30) were analyzed to assess the prevalence of E.

Biofilm Forming Ability of Staphylococcus aureus on Materials Commonly Found in Milking Equipment Surfaces.

The presence of biofilms on milking equipment on dairy farms can be a source of bulk tank milk contamination, as well as a potential source of intramammary infections for cows. The biofilm forming ability of bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, may differ depending on factors such as the intrinsic ability of bacteria to form biofilms, as well as the roughness and type of material of the surfaces. We investigated the ability of S.
