Abstract Background Melioidosis, attributable to the soil-dwelling bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, stands as a paramount global health challenge, necessitating extended courses of antibiotics. While murine studies identified gut microbiota modulator bacterial dissemination during melioidosis, human intestinal melioidosis remains uncharacterized. Here, we characterized composition and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes at diagnosis, treatment, postdischarge for melioidosis. We hypothesized that patients would be extensively distorted. Methods In this prospective observational cohort, stool samples with culture-confirmed admitted tertiary care hospital in India were collected 14 days after or discharge (whichever occurred first) 6 months postinfection. Family members neighbors served community controls. The resistome profiled by shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Results longitudinally analyzed 70 fecal from 28 16 At differed controls, high abundances potentially pathogenic bacteria, loss butyrate-producing higher levels AMR genes. Microbiota remained different controls months, driven total antibiotic exposure. During hospitalization, profiles associated secondary Klebsiella pneumoniae infections. Conclusions This first study on showed extensive disruptions limited signs restoration Given adverse outcomes linked microbiome perturbations, limiting using microbiota-restorative therapies (eg, probiotics) may beneficial.

Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is a common metabolic disease in ruminants. In the early stage of SARA, ruminants do not exhibit obvious clinical symptoms. However, SARA often leads to local inflammatory diseases such as laminitis, mastitis, endometritis and hepatitis.

Despite their therapeutic benefits, antibiotics exert collateral damage on the microbiome and promote antimicrobial resistance. However, mechanisms governing recovery from are poorly understood. Treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , world’s most common infection, represents longest exposure in humans. Here, we investigate gut dynamics over 20 months multidrug-resistant (TB) 6 drug-sensitive TB treatment We find that clearance shared predictive cofactors resolution TB-driven inflammation. The initial severe taxonomic functional disruption, pathobiont domination, enhancement antibiotic resistance initially accompanied long-term were countered by later commensals. This resilience was driven competing evolution mutations pathobionts commensals, with commensal strains reestablishing dominance. Fecal-microbiota transplantation antibiotic-resistant mice recapitulated to further disruption. These findings demonstrate commensals can have paradoxically beneficial effects promoting antimicrobials identify as a predictor disease therapy chronic infection.

Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs) are contaminants of emerging concern with marked potential to impact public and environmental health. This review focusses on factors that influence the presence, abundance, dissemination ARGs within Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) associated effluents. Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (ARB) have been detected in influent effluent WWTPs worldwide. Different levels wastewater treatment (primary, secondary, tertiary) show different degrees removal efficiency ARGs, further differences being observed when captured as intracellular or extracellular forms. Furthermore, routinely used molecular methodologies such quantitative polymerase chain reaction whole genome sequencing may also vary resistome identification quantifying ARG efficiencies from WWTP Additionally, we provide an overview One Health risk assessment framework, well future strategies how can be assessed for health impact.

ABSTRACT The gut microbiota is inextricably linked to human health and disease. It can confer colonization resistance against invading pathogens either through niche occupation nutrient competition or via its secreted metabolites. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) are the primary metabolites in as a result of dietary fiber fermentation by microbiota. In this work, we demonstrate that interaction single-species commensals on solid media insufficient for pathogen inhibition, but supernatants from monocultures these commensal bacteria enriched acetate inhibition anaerobic growth enteric Klebsiella pneumoniae . three SCFAs (acetate, propionate, butyrate) strongly inhibit intestinal Escherichia coli Nissle well panel besides K. at physiological pH cecum ascending colon.

Gut can be imbalanced before due underlying disease its treatment. The immediate preparations for surgery, fasting, mechanical bowel cleaning, antibiotic intervention, disrupt microbiota.

The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms that influence several aspects our health. This dense microbial community targets almost all dietary polysaccharides and releases multiple metabolites, some which have physiological effects on the host. A healthy equilibrium between members microbiota, its diversity, their metabolites required for intestinal health, promoting regulatory or anti-inflammatory immune responses. In contrast, loss this due antibiotics, low fiber intake, other conditions results in alterations microbiota composition, a term known as dysbiosis. dysbiosis can be characterized by reduction health-associated microorganisms, such butyrate-producing bacteria, enrichment small number opportunistic pathogens, diversity.
