The aim of this study was to gain deeper insights into the dynamics of fermentation parameters and the bacterial community during the ensiling of high-moisture alfalfa. A commercial lactic acid bacteria (YX) inoculant was used as an additive. After 15 and 30 days of ensiling, the control silage (CK) exhibited a high pH and a high concentration of ammoniacal nitrogen (NH-N); and were the dominant genera. At 60 d, the pH value and the concentration of NH-N in CK silage increased compared with 15 and 30 d, propionic acid and butyric acid (BA) were detected, and had the highest abundance in the bacterial community. Compared with CK silage, inoculation of YX significantly promoted lactic acid and acetic acid accumulation and reduced pH and BA formation, did not significantly reduce the concentration of NH-N except at 60 d, and significantly promoted the abundance of and decreased the abundance of and , but did not significantly inhibit the growth of and . In conclusion, high-moisture alfalfa naturally ensiled is prone to rot. Adding YX can delay the process of silage spoilage by inhibiting the growth of undesirable microorganisms to a certain extent.

Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is one of the most common economic and health challenges to the beef cattle industry. Prophylactic use of antimicrobial drugs can alter the microbial communities in the respiratory tract. Considering that the bovine upper respiratory tract microbiome has been associated with generalized health, understanding the microenvironment that influences this microbiome may provide insights into the pathogenesis of BRD.

Background: Periodontitis is not always satisfactorily treated with conventional scaling and root planing, and adjunctive use of antibiotics is required in clinical practice. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to understand the diversity and the antibiotic resistance of subgingival microbiota when exposed to different antibiotics.
Materials And Methods: In this study, subgingival plaques were collected from 10 periodontitis patients and 11 periodontally healthy volunteers, and their microbiota response to selective pressure of four antibiotics (amoxicillin, metronidazole, clindamycin, and tetracycline) were evaluated through 16S rRNA gene amplicon and metagenomic sequencing analysis.

Background: PROTECT ( Platform Randomised evaluation of clinical Outcomes using novel TEChnologies to optimise antimicrobial Therapy) has brought together a team of researchers to design a platform trial to rapidly evaluate and adopt into care multiple diagnostic technologies, bringing immediate benefit to patients. Rapid diagnostic tests will be used to identify patients at risk of deterioration from severe infection, before they become critically unwell. The platform will assess their comparative clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness relative to current standard of care.

Bacterial interspecies interactions shape microbial communities and influence the progression of polymicrobial infections. FemI-FemR-FemA, a cell-surface signaling system, in , is involved in the uptake of iron-chelating mycobactin produced by spp. In this report, we present the data that indicates the -PA1909 operon is positively regulated by ExsA, a master regulator for the type three secretion system (T3SS), connecting the Fem system with T3SS.

Introduction: Salt stress significantly affects plant growth, and Na has gained attention for its potential to enhance plant adaptability to saline conditions. However, the interactions between Na, plants, and rhizosphere bacterial communities remain unclear, hindering a deeper understanding of how Na contributes to plant resilience under salt stress.
Methods: This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms through which Na promotes alfalfa's adaptation to salt stress by modifying rhizosphere bacterial communities.
