Disruption of intestinal barrier and dysbiosis of gut microbiota in an experimental rhesus macaque model with 6-year diabetes mellitus.

Exp Anim

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Center for Diabetes and Metabolism Research, West China Hospital, Sichuan University.

This study aims to clarify the disruption of gut barrier and dysbiosis of the microbiota in an experimental macaque model with 6-year diabetes mellitus (DM), and provide evidence for the application of therapeutic strategies targeting the human microbiota in the future. A single intravenous injection of high-dose streptozotocin was used to induce the type 1 diabetes (T1D) macaque model. Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) and Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) staining were conducted to observe colon morphological changes.

Hybridisation is a source of genetic diversity, can drive adaptation to new niches and has been found to be a frequent event in lineages harbouring pathogenic fungi. However, little is known about the genomic implications of hybridisation nor its impact on pathogenicity-related traits. A common limitation for addressing these questions is the narrow representativity of sequenced genomes, mostly corresponding to strains isolated from infected patients.

Mixed nontuberculous mycobacteria in an immunocompromised patient with probable progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

March 2025

SAMRC Centre for Tuberculosis Research, Division of Molecular Biology and Human Genetics, Faculty of Medicine and Human Genetics, Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, South Africa.

Objectives: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized opportunistic pathogens found ubiquitously in the environment. The presence of multiple NTM species at the site of disease complicates diagnosis and treatment.

Case And Management: A 40-year-old patient who tested positive for HIV, with an absolute clusters of differentiation 4+ T-cell count of 3 cells/µl and cryptococcaemia, presented with hemoptysis, productive cough, and weight loss.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging opportunistic pathogens with limited treatment options due to resistance to multiple antibiotic classes. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of omadacycline and comparator antibiotics against rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) clinical isolates. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) evaluation of RGM clinical isolates was performed by two independent laboratories (EU and Japan).
