Paratuberculosis (PTB), primarily caused by subsp. (MAP), is a chronic infection that affects ruminants and is difficult to prevent, diagnose, and treat. Investigating how MAP infections affect the gut microbiota in sheep can aid in the prevention and treatment of ovine PTB.

The objective of this study was to examine the hypolipidemic effect and potential mechanism of action of green radish polysaccharide (GRP) in hyperlipidemic mice. We found that in mice fed a high-fat diet, supplementing with GRP reduced body weight and liver index, significantly improved serum lipid levels and markers of liver damage, and mitigated oxidative stress and inflammation. Mechanistically, in these hyperlipidemic mice, the size of fat cells was reduced by GRP, and the abnormal accumulation of lipid droplets was reduced.

Background: The simultaneous amplification/testing for tuberculosis (SAT-TB) targets specific 16s rRNA for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis in real-time.

Objective: To evaluate SAT-TB's performance in detecting intestinal and urinary TB using stool and urine samples.

Methods: Stool (94) and urine samples (69) (From 2021 to 2022), were collected from pulmonary combined with suspected intestinal or urinary tuberculosis.

Paratuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by subspecies (MAP). Typically, ruminant animals including cattle, buffalo, goats, and sheep are infected with MAP. Animals get infected with MAP in a number of ways, such as by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, or by nursing from an infected mother who may have contaminated teats or directly shed the organism in milk or colostrum.

Mycobacterium abscessus (Mabs), an intracellular and opportunistic pathogen, is considered the most pathogenic fast-growing mycobacterium, and causes severe pulmonary infections in patients with cystic fibrosis. While bacterial factors contributing to its pathogenicity are well studied, the host factors and responses that worsen Mabs infection are not fully understood. Here, we report that Mabs systemic infection alters Drosophila melanogaster intestinal homeostasis.
