Antibiotic susceptibility of human gut-derived facultative anaerobic bacteria is different under aerobic versus anaerobic test conditions

Lochana Kovale et al.

Summary: The study found significant differences in antibiotic susceptibility of some facultative anaerobic bacteria under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Therefore, successful antibiotic therapy for host-associated pathogens requires proper assessment of oxygen conditions and MIC testing under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

Recent trend, biases and limitations of cultivation-based diversity studies of microbes

Om Prakash et al.

Summary: The study analyzed cultivation-based microbial diversity studies of novel species published in the past 6 years in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, revealing 500-900 novel species reported annually with significant contributions from countries like China. However, biases and limitations still exist in microbial diversity studies based on cultivation methods.
