Introduction: Prophages play a crucial role in the genomic diversity of , contributing to its pathogenicity and adaptation.
Methods: In this study, we induced and sequenced seven prophages from five isolates of . These were analyzed with 967 prophages identified from various isolates worldwide, plus 21 genomes of other phages infecting previously reported in NCBI. To have an overview of the populations of the prophages infecting .
Results: Our analysis revealed 13 major prophage clusters within the analyzed isolates. Notably, prophages belonging to the genus were the most prevalent. Specifically, -related phages were frequently identified in isolates from Thailand, Mexico, China, and South Korea, which show the geographic prevalence of prophages.
Discussion: This study highlights the importance of considering geographic factors to fully understand prophage diversity and their significant role in the evolutionary dynamics of .

Aims: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains a major global health challenge, particularly due to increasing drug resistance. Beyond the well-characterized mutations, the mechanisms involved in driving resistance appear to be more complex. This study investigated the differential gene expression of Ethiopian drug-resistant Mtb sub-lineage 4.

Lime and NaS, used in dehairing in the tannery industry, cause the generation of toxic wastes. Ecological security and financial issues demand a look for innovative approaches to leather dehairing free from pollution. The primary goal of this investigation was to explore keratinolytic protease producing bacteria from tannery waste, their genomic evaluation and to assess their possible use in the dehairing process.

This study examined the relationship between teat canal score (TCS), somatic cell count (SCC), pathogen infection, and milk antimicrobial components in each quarter of milking cows. A total of 110 quarters of 28 healthy Holstein milking cows were used for the TCS and collection of milk samples. Milk samples were analyzed for SCC, antimicrobial components (S100A7 and lingual antimicrobial peptide (LAP)), and acute phase protein (serum amyloid A (SAA)).
