Here we present the first metagenomic analyses of an uncultured viral community from human feces, using partial shotgun sequencing. Most of the sequences were unrelated to anything previously reported. The recognizable viruses were mostly siphophages, and the community contained an estimated 1,200 viral genotypes.

Large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is a highly economically important marine fish species in China. However, substantial individual variations in growth performance have emerged as a limiting factor for the sustainable development of the large yellow croaker industry. Gut microbiota plays a crucial role in fish growth and development by regulating metabolic processes.

Background: Seawater microbes (bacteria and archaea) play essential roles in coral reefs by facilitating nutrient cycling, energy transfer, and overall reef ecosystem functioning. However, environmental disturbances such as degraded water quality and marine heatwaves, can impact these vital functions as seawater microbial communities experience notable shifts in composition and function when exposed to stressors. This sensitivity highlights the potential of seawater microbes to be used as indicators of reef health.

Tibetan sheep play a vital role in the livelihoods of herders and are an important part of the ecosystem of the Tibetan Plateau. In order to study the characteristics of the gut microorganisms of Tibetan sheep at high altitude, this study employed macrogenomic techniques to analyse the diversity and differences in the gut flora of Tibetan sheep in different regions of high altitude and high cold. The results demonstrated that at the phylum level, the dominant phylum in the ileo-cecum segment of Tibetan sheep in Qilian, Henan and Gonghe counties was identical, namely , and .

Although metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) technology has achieved notable outcomes in pathogen detection, there remains a gap in the research regarding its application in predicting the antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria. This study aims to analyze the clinical application value of mNGS in predicting the resistance of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), as well as the relevant influencing factors, thereby providing valuable insights for clinical antimicrobial therapy. Nonduplicate isolates of bacteria collected from Liaocheng People's Hospital from April 2023 to June 2024 were selected, and CRE bacteria were screened.
