Trans-kingdom interactions in mixed biofilm communities

Faizan Ahmed Sadiq et al.

Summary: Biofilms, complex surface-adhered microbial communities, consist of microorganisms from different kingdoms of life and play a significant role in ecological interactions. The study of interactions between species from different kingdoms in biofilms has advanced our knowledge of microbial ecology and its applications in medical microbiology, biotechnology, and understanding microbial life in nature.

Survive and thrive: Control mechanisms that facilitate bacterial adaptation to survive manufacturing-related stress

M. Marmion et al.

Summary: The control of bacterial contaminants on chicken meat is crucial for the broiler industry. In addition to the microbes that pose food safety risks, other bacteria must be controlled to ensure product quality and shelf-life. Processing challenges like cold and chemical exposure are employed to control the microbiota and maintain hygiene. These stresses can also induce adaptive shifts in bacteria.

Biofilm through the Looking Glass: A Microbial Food Safety Perspective

Sapna Chitlapilly Dass et al.

Summary: Biofilms in food-processing facilities provide ecological niches for pathogens to colonize and become more tolerant to sanitization. Understanding how multispecies biofilms protect foodborne pathogens and contaminate food is essential for designing interventions to mitigate their impact. This review focuses on the potential food safety issues associated with biofilms in the food-processing environment.

Metaphylactic antimicrobial effects on occurrences of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp. measured longitudinally from feedlot arrival to harvest in high-risk beef cattle

Nathan S. Long et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of injectable antimicrobials on populations of Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, and Enterococcus spp. in feedlot cattle. The results showed that the effect of treatment varied on different days for all targeted bacterial populations, except for total E. coli. The findings suggest that antimicrobial resistance in feedlot cattle is influenced by various environmental and management factors, rather than solely caused by using antimicrobials on arrival.

Biological strategies for oligo/polysaccharide synthesis: biocatalyst and microbial cell factory

Liting Zhao et al.

Summary: This review discusses recent biotechnological approaches to oligo/polysaccharide synthesis, involving in vitro enzymatic synthesis and cell factory synthesis. The important factors in nucleotide sugar production are explored, along with strategies like metabolic flux rebuilding and regulation, enzyme engineering, and route design. Research challenges and prospects are also outlined and discussed.

Structured environments foster competitor coexistence by manipulating interspecies interfaces

Tristan Ursell

Summary: This study explores the stability of species competition and the impact of the environment on ecological outcomes. It finds that physical structures can stabilize species coexistence, even with varying levels of competition intensity. Therefore, in addition to biological factors and other environmental variations, the physical structure of the environment may also influence ecological outcomes and stabilize biodiversity.

Polymicrobial gastroenteritis in children

Eleni Vergadi et al.

Summary: This study investigated the rate, type and impact of bacterial enteropathogens in children with gastroenteritis, finding that Escherichia coli strains were the most common pathogen associated with co-infections, leading to higher hospitalisation rates and younger age.

Comparative Biofilm Assays Using Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF Identify New Determinants of Biofilm Formation

L. E. Julia Willett et al.

Summary: Enterococcus faecalis is a common commensal organism and a prolific nosocomial pathogen that causes biofilm-associated infections. This study demonstrates how E. faecalis biofilm architecture is modulated by growth medium and experimental conditions and identifies multiple new genetic determinants of biofilm formation, expanding our understanding of the genetic requirements for biofilm formation in E. faecalis.
