Abstract As mobile genetic elements (MGE) are critical yet understudied determinants of gut microbiome composition, we characterized the virome and plasmidome in 195 samples from 28 mother–infant dyads delivered by caesarean section. Infant mobilome increased richness over first 6 postnatal weeks, demonstrating high individual-specificity temporal stability, establishing a personal persistent mobilome. Formula-fed infants exhibited greater than breastfed infants, with plasmid composition influenced antibiotic exposure birth weight. Plasmids constituted significant reservoir resistance genes (ARG), around 5% infant taxonomic units carrying ARG. Notably, ARG profiles did not differ at birth. We found that sharing viral strains primarily occurred after months age. Overall, our integrative analysis offers novel insights into dynamics, modulation, origin, clinical implications MGE developing microbiome.

The goal of this study was to determine how common and widespread geo-helminths, STH, intestinal protozoa infections are in the Mathira constituency Nyeri County, Kenya. aimed prevalence geohelminths protozoa, as well distribution STH school-going children. Cochran formulae guided design a cross-sectional on population 174 children, yielding complete data for 164 them. social determinants health model study. A structured questionnaire applied collection establish demographic characteristics participants identified three primary schools site. They were examined by quantitative Kato-Katz technique formal ether concentration techniques infection. Statistical analysis done using R Studio risk ratio. Findings showed that 56 samples Kihuro school, 12 (21.4%) 6 (10.7%) positive protozoan infections. Similarly, 33% children Gathuini school found be infections, while 13% infected with STH. In Gikumbo 20.4% parasites, compared However, there variation infection based gender across selected sites. Children 0.12 times more at 0.3 higher than school. 0.46 0.1 0.26 implying they prone concluded age students had no statistical significance. recommended government institutions non-governmental organizations should intervene undertake adequate control measures against geo-helminth parasites making sure is access safe water improved sanitation area. Moreover, education programs intensified area beyond raise awareness geo-helminths infection, means transmission measures, improvement hygiene practices both parents.
