Infectious mononucleosis (IM) is mainly triggered by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. There are few studies on the role of the gut microbiota in IM and EBV-associated liver dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the gut microbiota in the EBV-associated liver dysfunction and to evaluate the relationship between the severity of gut microbiota dysbiosis and cytokine levels.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick-borne viral hemorrhagic fever caused by the severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). This virus, which is transmitted through ticks, is prevalent in Asian countries, including Japan. This report describes two rare cases of SFTS with concurrent bacteremia.

The process of discovering new drugs related to microbes through traditional biological methods is lengthy and costly. In response to these issues, a new computational model (NRGCNMDA) is proposed to predict microbe-drug associations. First, Node2vec is used to extract potential associations between microorganisms and drugs, and a heterogeneous network of microbes and drugs is constructed.

As failure rates for traditional antimicrobial therapies escalate, recent focus has shifted to evolution-based therapies to slow resistance. Collateral sensitivity-the increased susceptibility to one drug associated with evolved resistance to a different drug-offers a potentially exploitable evolutionary constraint, but the manner in which collateral effects emerge over time is not well understood. Here, we use laboratory evolution in the opportunistic pathogen Enterococcus faecalis to phenotypically characterize collateral profiles through evolutionary time.

The exploration of new pharmacological compounds from endophytic fungi offers infinite possibilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of extracts from the leaves of and five of its endophytic fungi and investigate the chemical diversity of the secondary metabolites produced. Isolated, purified, and molecularly identified endophytes and plant leaves were subjected to ethyl acetate extraction.
