We present a global atlas of 4,728 metagenomic samples from mass-transit systems in 60 cities over 3 years, representing the first systematic, worldwide catalog urban microbial ecosystem. This provides an annotated, geospatial profile strains, functional characteristics, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) markers, and genetic elements, including 10,928 viruses, 1,302 bacteria, 2 archaea, 838,532 CRISPR arrays not found reference databases. identified 4,246 known species microorganisms consistent...
Although disinfection is key to infection control, the colonization patterns and resistomes of hospital-environment microbes remain underexplored. We report first extensive genomic characterization microbiomes, pathogens antibiotic resistance cassettes in a tertiary-care hospital, from repeated sampling (up 1.5 years apart) 179 sites associated with 45 beds. Deep shotgun metagenomics unveiled distinct ecological niches genes characterized by biofilm-forming human-microbiome-influenced...
The Metagenomics and Metadesign of the Subways Urban Biomes (MetaSUB) International Consortium is a novel, interdisciplinary initiative comprised experts across many fields, including genomics, data analysis, engineering, public health, architecture. ultimate goal MetaSUB to improve city utilization planning through detection, measurement, design metagenomics within urban environments. Although continual measures occur for temperature, air pressure, weather, human activity, longitudinal,...
Allergic rhinitis and asthma are major public health concerns economic burdens worldwide. However, little is known about nasal bacteriome dysbiosis during allergic rhinitis, alone or associated with comorbidity. To address this knowledge gap we applied 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing to 347 samples from participants (AS = 12), (AR 53), (ARAS 183) healthy controls (CT 99). One three of the most abundant phyla, five seven dominant genera differed significantly (p < 0.021) between AS, AR...
Background The behavior of bees results in important natural products such as honey, propolis, wax, beeswax, bee pollen, royal jelly and venom. Sometimes, the terms geopropolis cerumen are used interchangably despite some diferences. Objective. To discuss commonalities differences between substances referred to respectively provide an overview their bioactvities, medicinal uses also chemical composition assist with a more consistent use these into future. Methodology. Scientific articles...
Pregnancy is a period of significant biopsychosocial changes. Carrying fetus involves multiple aspects and can impact quality life. The female body adapts to ensure the necessary conditions for fetal development, including increased capacity cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary systems, among others. However, this also marked by complications potential pregnancy-related diseases that be prevented or treated. Physical exercise primary tool strengthening preventing pathological conditions. In...
Abstract We have created a global atlas of 4,728 metagenomic samples from mass-transit systems in 60 cities across 3 years. This is the first systematic, worldwide study cataloging urban microbial ecosystem. identify taxonomically-defined microorganisms collected three provides an annotated, geospatial profile strains, functional characteristics AMR markers, and novel genetic elements, including 10,928 viral, 1302 bacteria, 2 archaea species. 4,424 species consistent “core” 31 found nearly...
Allergic rhinitis and asthma are two of the most common chronic respiratory diseases in developed countries have become a major public health concern. Substantial evidence has suggested strong link between allergy upper airway dysbacteriosis, but role oral bacteriota is still poorly understood. Here we used 16S rRNA massive parallel sequencing to characterize bacteriome 344 individuals with allergic (AR), (ARAS), (AS) healthy controls (CT). Four abundant (&gt;2%) phyla (Actinobacteriota,...
