Mycoplasma pneumonia, caused by Mycoplasma bovis (Mycoplasmopsis bovis; M. bovis), is linked with severe inflammatory reactions in the lungs and can be challenging to treat with antibiotics. Biofilms play a significant role in bacterial persistence and contribute to the development of chronic lesions.

Infections associated with urinary catheters are often caused by biofilms composed of various bacterial species that form on the catheters' surfaces. In this study, we investigated the intricate interplay between Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis during biofilm formation on urinary catheter segments using a dual-species culture model. We analyzed biofilm formation and global proteomic profiles to understand how these bacteria interact and adapt within a shared environment.

Despite conducting studies to investigate food contamination in hospitals in different parts of Iran in recent years, there have been no reliable studies to identify Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, and Clostridium perfringens in hospital food in Mashhad. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating some major foodborne pathogens in hospital food. In this study, 360 food samples were randomly selected from 12 different menus from 13 hospitals affiliated with Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.

Cultured meat aims to produce meat mass by culturing cells and tissues based on the muscle regeneration mechanism, and is considered an alternative to raising and slaughtering livestock. Hydrogel building blocks are commonly used as substrates for cell culture in tissue engineering and cultured meat because of their high water content, biocompatibility, and similar three-dimensional (3D) environment to the cellular niche . With the characteristics of precise manipulation of fluids, microfluidics exhibits advantages in the fabrication of building blocks with different structures and components, which have been widely applied in tissue regeneration.

Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of animal tuberculosis, exhibits a broad host range - infecting, inducing pathology and transmitting from both bovine and wildlife hosts. Considerable effort has been extended to understanding the role wildlife may play in persistence and spread of infection. Infected cervids can spread infection to conspecifics and sympatric livestock as observed in the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginanus) population of Michigan, USA.
