The release of pathogens and DNA from the cryosphere (glacier, permafrost, and, sea ice) has become a new threat to society and environment. Due to enhanced glacier retreat, the size of glacier forefields has greatly expanded. Herein, we used a combination of metagenomic and metatranscriptomic methods and adopted a sequence-based approach to investigate the distribution and changing patterns of virulence factor genes (VFGs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in two glacier forefields.

Amidst the rising prevalence of respiratory diseases, the importance of effective lung treatment modalities is more critical than ever. However, current drug delivery systems face significant limitations that impede their efficacy and therapeutic outcome. Biohybrid microrobots have shown considerable promise for active in vivo drug delivery, especially for pulmonary applications via intratracheal routes.

This cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence, bacterial distribution, antimicrobial susceptibility, and potential risk factors associated with subclinical mastitis (SCM) in small-holder dairy herds in Gansu Province, Northwest China. Forty small-holder cow farms were randomly selected from eight cities/counties in six districts of Gansu Province, and a total of = 530 lactating cows were included in this study. SCM prevalence was noted at 38.
