Article Abstract
An imbalanced gut microbiome has been linked to a higher risk of many bone-related diseases. The objective of this study was to discover biomarkers of osteoporosis (OP). So, we collected 76 stool samples (60 human controls and 16 OP patients), extracted DNA, and performed 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene-based amplicon sequencing. Among the taxa with an average taxonomic composition greater than 1%, only the genus showed a significant difference between the two groups. The Linear Discriminant Effect Size analysis and qPCR experiments indicated the genus as a potential biomarker of OP. Moreover, a total of 11 metabolic pathways varied between the two groups. Our study concludes that the genus is potentially crucial for diagnosing and treating osteoporosis. The findings of this study might help researchers better understand OP from a microbiome perspective. This research might develop more effective diagnostic and treatment methods for OP in the future.

Prevalence and Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Escherichia coli Isolated From Broiler Chickens in Sylhet District of Bangladesh.

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) Escherichia coli in poultry farming is a growing global public health concern, particularly in Bangladesh, where the use of antibiotics remains largely unregulated. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and AMR patterns of E. coli isolated from broiler chickens in Sylhet district of Bangladesh and to investigate the network of coexisting resistance traits among the isolates.

Unlabelled: Although wastewater treatment plants harbor many pathogens, traditional methods that monitor the microbial quality of surface water and wastewater have not changed since the early 1900s and often disregard the presence of other types of significant waterborne pathogens such as viruses. We used metagenomics and quantitative PCR to assess the taxonomy, functional profiling, and seasonal patterns of DNA and RNA viruses, including the virome distribution in aquatic environments receiving wastewater discharges. Environmental water samples were collected at 11 locations in Winnipeg, Manitoba, along the Red and Assiniboine rivers during the Spring, Summer, and Fall 2021.

Unlabelled: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is characterized by systemic inflammation and intestinal barrier dysfunction and is often associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis. Rifaximin, a gut-specific non-absorbable antibiotic, is known to modulate the gut microbiota. Here, we investigated rifaximin's effects and mechanisms in SAP using murine models and a single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR2100049794).

Purpose: The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in bilirubin metabolism in neonates. The phototherapy threshold assesses the need for clinical intervention in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia (NH). This study aimed to investigate gut microbiota alterations in neonates with NH meeting the phototherapy threshold.

Background: Critically ill patients, including those with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis, frequently exhibit gut microbiota disruption due to physiological stress and broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy (AT). Although antibiotics are essential for controlling infection, they can destabilize the gut microbiota and may contribute to poorer clinical outcomes. The characterization of the gut microbiota of these patients may inform microbiota-based interventions to mitigate antibiotic-induced dysbiosis.
