Introduction: Banded sheath blight (Bsb) disease, caused by , is an emerging problem in barnyard millet cultivation. One of the significant goals of pathogenomic research is to identify genes responsible for pathogenicity in the fungus.

Methods: A virulence profiling-based approach was employed and six isolates were collected from various ecological zones of India.

This study aimed to determine whether the farm-level use of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae-based postbiotic was associated with Salmonella prevalence and concentration, serotype diversity, and antimicrobial resistance in the subiliac lymph nodes (LN) of cull dairy cows. In collaboration with two commercial processing plants in the Southwestern (SW) and Northeastern (NE) regions of the U.S.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the impact of a direct-fed microbial (DFM) supplement on the presence and levels of E. coli O157:H7 in cattle feces across 20 feedlots in Nebraska, comparing those that used DFM to those that did not.
  • A total of 1,320 fecal samples were collected over a 12-week period, revealing a mean within-pen prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 to be 13.5%, with higher prevalence rates noted in no-DFM pens during the peak sampling month.
  • Key factors affecting fecal E. coli O157:H7 prevalence included the use of DFM, the month samples were taken, average pen body weight, and

Fundamental understanding of the interactions of nanoscale materials with molecules of interest is essential for the development of electronic devices, such as sensors. In particular, structures and molecular interaction properties of engineered graphenes are still largely unexplored, despite these materials' great potential to be used as molecular sensors. As an example of end user application, the detection of phosphorus in the form of phosphate in a soil environment is important for soil fertility and plant growth.
