Article Abstract

Unlabelled: , a zoonotic pathogen causing enteric diseases in different animals and humans. A comprehensive study on the presence of toxin genes and antimicrobial resistance genes based on genome data of in animals is scanty. In the present study, a total of 15 isolates were recovered from dogs and isolates with toxin genes (D1, CD15 and CD26) along with two other non-toxigenic strains (CD28, CD32) were used for whole genome sequencing and comparative genomics. Sequence type-based clustering was noted in the whole genome phylogeny with 4 known multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) clades namely I, II, IV, and V and a cryptic clade. ST11 and ST54 were reported for the 2 time worldwide in dogs. Out of 109 genomes used in the study, 29 genomes were predicted with all four toxin genes (, , , ) while 22 did not have any of the toxin genes. ST11 of MLST clade V had the maximum number of 46 genomes predicted with at least one toxin gene. Among the genomes sequenced in this study, CD26 had a maximum of 5 AMR genes (, , , , and ) and CD15 was predicted with 2 AMR genes (, ). Tetracycline resistance genes were predicted most in the ST11 genome. Of the 22 non-toxigenic strains, 9 genomes (ST48 = 5, ST3 = 2, ST109 = 1, ST15 = 1) were predicted with a minimum of one AMR gene. Pangenome analysis indicated that the value is 0.12 showing that has an open pangenome structure. This indicates that the organism can evolve by the addition of new genes. This study reports the circulation of clinically important ST11 and multidrug-resistant non-toxigenic strains among animals.

Major depressive disorder is a prevalent and debilitating psychiatric illness that produces significant disability. Clinical data suggest that the pathophysiology of depression is due, in part, to a dysregulation of inflammation and glutamate levels in the brain. The systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to induce depressive-like behaviors in mice.

Background: Apples are important for human nutrition because these provide vital nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, that are needed for a balanced diet. A suitable environment for the growth and survival of various microorganisms is also provided by multiple nutrients, such as carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. Penicillium spp.

The structural specificity of organic nitrogen sources in modulating cyanobacterial physiology and toxin production remains poorly understood. This study systematically evaluated the bioavailability of exogenous glycine peptides in Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) and their regulatory roles in algal growth and microcystins (MCs) synthesis through an integrated physiological and transcriptomic approach.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and reactive intermediates, such as methylglyoxal, are formed during thermal processing of foods and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of a series of chronic inflammatory diseases. AGEs are thought to directly interact with the intestinal epithelium upon ingestion of thermally processed foods, but their effects on intestinal epithelial cells are poorly understood. This study investigated transcriptomic changes in human intestinal epithelial FHs 74 Int cells after exposure to AGE-modified human serum proteins (AGE-HS), S100A12, a known RAGE ligand, and unmodified human serum proteins (HS).

Effective mosquito control is essential for reducing the transmission of vector-borne diseases. This study focuses on the comprehensive characterization of mosquitocidal toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis (Bti) VCRC B646 and the associated insecticidal genes. The bacterium was cultured, and the spore-crystal complex was purified to identify the mosquitocidal proteins.
