Article Abstract

Microbial research generates vast and complex data from diverse omics technologies, demanding innovative analytical solutions. The microGalaxy community addresses these needs with the Microbiology Lab, a user-friendly platform that integrates 290+ tool suites and 85+ curated workflows for microbial analyses, including taxonomic profiling, assembly, annotation, and functional analysis. Hosted on several public Galaxy servers (microbiology.usegalaxy.org, .eu, .org.au, .fr), it supports workflow creation & customization, sharing, and updates across public and private Galaxy servers, ensuring flexibility and reproducibility. The platform also offers 35+ tutorials, 15+ instructional videos, and structured learning pathways, empowering researchers to conduct advanced analyses. Backed by a community-driven approach, the Microbiology Galaxy Lab ensures up-to-date tools and workflows through testing and semi-automatic updates to meet global research demands. With its focus on rapid workflow prototyping and high-throughput processing, the Microbiology Galaxy Lab provides scalable resources for researchers at all expertise levels.

Background: While most strains are harmless members of the gastrointestinal microbiota, certain pathogenic variants can cause severe intestinal and extraintestinal diseases. A notable outbreak of O104:H4, involving both enteroaggregative () and enterohemorrhagic () strains, occurred in Europe, resulting in symptoms ranging from bloody diarrhea to life-threatening colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Since treatment options remain limited and have changed little over the past 40 years, there is an urgent need for an effective vaccine.

is an important zoonotic pathogen with a wide range of clinical manifestations in humans. Despite advances in understanding its pathogenesis, there is no broadly applicable laboratory animal model for bartonellosis. This study aimed to assess the potential utility of an experimental model of chronic infection using ferrets, a species previously utilized in various human pathogen studies.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global challenge that disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Environmental contamination by resistant bacteria from animal production facilities is a major driver of the spread of AMR through the food chain, requiring a robust one-health control approach. Traditional culture-based AMR surveillance is time-consuming and less sensitive, and fails to fully capture the spectrum of AMR, evolutionary trends, and epidemiological patterns of AMR spread.
