The electrophoretic karyotypes of a pathogenic and a nonpathogenic strain of Entamoeba histolytica were determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. A number of previously isolated genes were assigned to specific chromosomal bands. Significant differences between the chromosomal patterns of these strains as well as in the assignment of most genes were found.

Background: This study aimed to investigate deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) copy number variations (CNVs) in children with neurodevelopmental disorders and their association with craniofacial abnormalities.

Methods: A total of 1,457 children who visited the Child Health Department of our hospital for unexplained Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) between November 2019 and December 2022 were enrolled. Peripheral venous blood samples (2 mL) were collected from the children and their parents for whole-exome sequencing.

Fecal microbiota changes associated with pathogenic and non-pathogenic diarrheas in foals.

BMC Res Notes

January 2025

Department of Animal Science, University of California Davis, 2251 Meyer Hall, One Shields Ave, Davis, CA, 95616, USA.

Objectives: Diarrhea is a common disease that could threaten the welfare of newborn foals. While there are several forms of foal diarrhea, the etiologies can be considered known pathogenic or non-pathogenic in nature. Moreover, there are likely differences in the composition of microbial populations in the gastrointestinal tracts of foals depending upon the etiology of diarrhea.

Pathogenic protists are responsible for many diseases that significantly impact human and animal health across the globe. Almost all protists possess mitochondria or mitochondrion-related organelles, and many contain plastids. These endosymbiotic organelles are crucial to survival and provide well-validated and widely utilised drug targets in parasitic protists such as Plasmodium and Toxoplasma.

16S rRNA genes sequencing has been used for routine species identification and phylogenetic studies of bacteria. However, the high sequence similarity between some species and heterogeneity within copies at the intragenomic level could be a limiting factor of discriminatory ability. In this study, we aimed to compare 16S rRNA genes sequences and genome-based analysis (core SNPs and ANI) for identification of non-pathogenic .

Sustainable management of textile industrial wastewater is one of the severe challenges in the current regime. It has been reported that each year huge amount of textile industry discharge especially the dye released into the environment without pre-treatment that adversely affect the human health and plant productivity. In the present study, different bacterial isolates had been isolated from the industrial effluents and investigated for their bioremediation potential against the malachite green (MG) dye, a major pollutant of textile industries.
