Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is one of the most common diseases in the neonatal intensive care unit which severely affects neonatal survival. Gut microbes play an increasingly important role in human health, but there are rarely reported how gut microbiota contribute to PPHN. In our study, the metagenomic sequencing of feces from 12 PPHN's neonates and 8 controls were performed to expose the relation between neonatal gut microbes and PPHN disease.

Agricultural soils are important source and sink of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, little is known about the fate of ARGs in dryland soils, while its human exposure risks were seriously overlooked. Taking the northern Ningxia Plain as a case, this study explored the occurrence of ARGs and its relationship with mobile genetic elements (MGEs), pathogens, and environmental factors.

Background: Checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP) is a potentially fatal adverse event characterized by new pulmonary infiltrates in cancer patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. This study aims to explore the interplay between lung microbiota, dysregulated metabolites, and host immunity in CIP.
Methods: We recruited thirteen hospitalized CIP patients, eleven idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients, and ten new-onset non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Global warming has increased the growth of pathogenic Vibrio bacteria, which can cause foodborne illnesses and death. Vibrio bacteria require iron for growth and survival. They utilize a ferric ion-binding protein (FbpA) to bind and transport Fe into the cell.
