Exploration of robust antiseptics with antibiofilm performance and long-term antimicrobial activity is of great significance to effectively destroy foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Herein, a silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) /carbon dots (CDs) nanocomposite (Ag@CDs) was constructed by the reaction of Ag with CDs, which has strong antibacterial ability, and mighty biofilm inhibition and destruction ability toward E. coli and S.

- Scientists discovered new viruses called Restviruses in the lungs of patients who were sick with a type of coronavirus.
- These Restviruses are similar to another group of viruses known as Statoviruses, which were found in the stomachs of animals.
- Researchers think that studying these new viruses could help us understand how they affect people's health and where they come from.
Article Synopsis
- Haemaphysalis longicornis, a type of tick, is becoming a concern because it's spreading and may carry diseases.
- Researchers studied 136 groups of these ticks and found 508 different RNA viruses, with 22 that no one had seen before.
- The study showed that the genetic differences in the ticks are linked to their environment, which helps us understand how viruses might spread from ticks to animals and people.
There has been increasing global concern about the spillover transmission of pangolin-associated microbes. To assess the risk of these microbes for emergence as human pathogens, we integrated data from multiple sources to describe the distribution and spectrum of microbes harbored by pangolins. Wild and trafficked pangolins have been mainly recorded in Asia and Africa, while captive pangolins have been reported in European and North American countries.

Here we aimed to investigate whether xylanase can alleviate the adverse effects on the gut barrier induced by soybean meal in Nile tilapia and to explore the possible mechanism.
Results: Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (4.
