The isolation of Aureimonas altamirensis (a rare opportunistic pathogen with a yet unresolved pathogenicity) from the ascites fluid of a patient with bacterial peritonitis is reported. The strain was first identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and the result was confirmed using 16S rDNA sequencing. An antimicrobial susceptibility profile was determined according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) guidelines published in 2013, revealing sensitivity to all antibiotics tested. The patient was treated effectively with levofloxacin.

The narrow zone of soil around the plant roots with maximum microbial activity termed as rhizosphere. Rhizospheric bacteria promote the plant growth directly or indirectly by providing the nutrients and producing antimicrobial compounds. In this study, the rhizospheric microbiota of peanut plants was characterized from different farms using an Illumina-based partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing to evaluate microbial diversity and identify the core microbiome through culture-independent (CI) approach.

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is a very common and infectious virus that affects silkworms and hinders silk production. To investigate the intestinal flora of BmNPV-resistant and BmNPV-sensitive silkworm varieties, 16 S rDNA high-throughput sequencing was performed. The results of the cluster analysis showed that the intestinal flora of the resistant silkworm variety was more abundant than that of the sensitive silkworm variety.

Biological contamination is one of the main bottlenecks in microalgae production, reducing quality and productivity and sometimes leading to the complete loss of the cultures. Selecting terpenes can be a pathway toward eco-friendly contamination control in microalgae cultures. This work evaluated the presence of bacterial contaminants in N.
