A Gram-positive, coagulase-negative, novobiocin resistant, and lithium-tolerant bacterium was isolated from Salar de Atacama. Strain LCHXa is closely related to Staphylococcus sciuri. Its genome is 3,013,090 bp long and contains 2,551 predicted protein genes. We observed 58 genes associated with stress response and 17 genes linked to osmoregulation, mainly related to glycine betaine metabolism.

The use of antibiotics is the preferred therapy for bacterial diseases. However, overusing antibiotics has led to the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, which is now a major public health concern. Therefore, in this study, the performance of lysozyme (LYZ)/tracheal antimicrobial peptide (TAP)-based tissue-specific expression antimicrobial plasmids (TSEAP) have been evaluated in the treatment of mastitis in mice.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated the presence of specific bacteria in humans and birds in Baghdad, finding notably higher prevalence in birds (73.17%) compared to humans (20%).
  • Various antibiotic resistance patterns were noted, with many bird isolates showing multidrug resistance (MDR) and high Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) indices.
  • The research highlighted concerning trends in biofilm production, indicating a potential healthcare problem due to the combination of high MDR strains and weak biofilm formation in human samples.

Article Synopsis
  • Obesity is linked to issues like gut microbiota imbalance, inflammation, and intestinal barrier dysfunction, and flavonoids like hesperidin may provide safe anti-obesity solutions.
  • In experiments with high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice, hesperidin treatment reduced body weight, fat accumulation, inflammation markers, and improved gut health, showing a dose-dependent effect.
  • Both hesperidin and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) successfully reduced body weight and addressed HFD-related disorders by altering gut microbiota composition.
