Temporal variability in the diversity, function and resistome landscapes in the gut microbiome of broilers.

Understanding the dynamic and stability of gut microbiota over the course of production cycle of broiler chicken can help identify microbial features that associate with better health and productivity. In the present study, we profile the changes in the composition and stability of gut microbiota of commercially raised broilers at nine distinct time points using shotgun metagenomics and culturomics approaches. We demonstrate, within the first week post-hatching, a rapid decline in relative abundance of 122 pioneer microbial species including Bacteroides fragilis, Lachnospira eligens and Ruminococcus gnavus, accompanied by a substantial decrease in both microbial richness and diversity.

Prevalence of bovine coronavirus in cattle in China: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is one of the important pathogens that cause calf diarrhea (CD), winter dysentery (WD), and the bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC), and spreads worldwide. An infection of BCoV in cattle can lead to death of young animals, stunted growth, reduced milk production, and milk quality, thus bringing serious economic losses to the bovine industry. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent and control the spread of BCoV.

ATM-CHK2-Beclin 1 axis promotes autophagy to maintain ROS homeostasis under oxidative stress.

The homeostatic link between oxidative stress and autophagy plays an important role in cellular responses to a wide variety of physiological and pathological conditions. However, the regulatory pathway and outcomes remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that reactive oxygen species (ROS) function as signaling molecules that regulate autophagy through ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) and cell cycle checkpoint kinase 2 (CHK2), a DNA damage response (DDR) pathway activated during metabolic and hypoxic stress.
