Abstract The human skin microbiome plays an important role in both health and disease. Microbial biofilms are a well-characterized mode of surface-associated growth, which present community-like behaviors. Additionally, critical element certain diseases. We review how the perception resident microbiota has evolved from early linkages microbes to disease states, more comprehensive intricate understanding brought on by biofilm revelations. Rapidly expanding arsenals experimental methods...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Darier disease is a rare inherited with dominant skin manifestations including keratotic papules and plaques on sebaceous flexural areas. Secondary infection of lesions common, <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> commonly colonizes these lesions. The aim the study was to characterize bacterial microbiome cutaneous compared normal-looking severity. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> All patients history followed up at Emek...
Microbiome compositional changes are associated with obesity in the gut. Emerging evidence points to a connection between gut and skin microbial communities. We hypothesized that microbiome different BMI levels overweight or obese individuals would have reduced diversity. statistically analyzed gut, oral samples recapture previously observed partitioning microbiomes of these sites. further 822 from American Gut Project database correlated community structure composition using QIIME. Gut,...
Background: The evolutionary relationships between plants and their microbiomes are of high importance to the survival in general even more extreme conditions. Changes plant's microbiome can affect plant development, growth, fitness, health. Along arid Arava, southern Israel, acacia trees ( Acacia raddiana tortilis ) considered keystone species. In this study, we investigated ecological effects species, microclimate, phenology, seasonality on epiphytic endophytic trees. One hundred...
Abstract Dead Sea climatotherapy (DSC) is a well‐established therapeutic modality for the treatment of several diseases, including atopic dermatitis. Skin microbiome studies have shown that skin diversity anticorrelated with both dermatitis severity and concurrent Staphylococcus aureus overgrowth. This study aimed to determine whether DSC induces changes clinical improvements in We sampled 35 patients ten healthy controls on antecubital popliteal fossa. High‐resolution microbial community...
Oral mucosal homeostasis is achieved by complex immunologic mechanisms, orchestrating host immunity to adapt the physiologic functions of various specialized niches in oral cavity. Dental implants introduce a novel niche immune system deal with. Nevertheless, mechanisms engaged toward and whether they have broader effects are not well defined. Using murine model, we found an accumulation neutrophils RANKL-expressing T B lymphocytes implant-surrounding mucosa, accompanied local bone loss....
Various surfaces associated with the storage and packing of food are known to harbor distinct bacterial pathogens. Conspicuously absent among plethora studies implicating packaging materials machinery is study corrugated cardboard packaging, worldwide medium for transporting fresh produce. In this study, we observed microbial communities three different store-bought fruits vegetables, along their analogue using high throughput sequencing technology. We further developed an anti-biofilm...
Dead Sea climatotherapy (DSC) is a therapeutic modality for variety of chronic skin conditions, yet there has been scarce research on the relationship between cutaneous microbiota and disease states in response to DSC. We characterized bacterial fungal microbiome healthy volunteers who underwent Bacterial community diversity remained similar before after treatment, while was significantly reduced as result treatment. Individuals showed greater inter-individual than temporal variance,...
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare hereditary skin disorders characterized by the formation painful blisters, erosions, and ulcers. In addition, wounds can easily become infected with different pathogens. Therefore, dynamics in microbial populations across various stages EB shed light on pathophysiology, effect treatment, factors involved its recovery, but they are understudied. We thus sought to characterize microbiome among patients over time. A prospective study conducted...
Objective Determine whether data collected from a smartphone camera can be used to detect anemia in pediatric population. Methods HEMO-AI (Hemoglobin Easy Measurement by Optical Artificial Intelligence), clinical study carried out December 2020 February 2023, recruited patients the Pediatric Emergency Department, Inpatient Department and Hematology Unit of Haemek Medical Center, Afula, Israel. A population-based sample 823 aged 6 months 18 years who had undergone venous blood draw for...
Abstract Along the arid Arava, southern Israel, acacia trees ( Acacia raddiana and tortilis ) are considered keystone species. In this study, we investigated ecological effects of plant species, microclimate (different areas within tree canopies) seasonality on endophytic epiphytic microbiome associated with these two 186 leaf samples were collected along different seasons throughout year their microbial communities studied using diversity 16S rDNA gene sequenced 150-PE Illumina sequencing...
The bacterial community that colonizes the human face imparts physiochemical and physiological effects on facial skin. These skin-microbe interactions impact dermatological, cosmetic skincare applications due to centrality of in daily interactions. However, fine-scale characterization skin microbiome is lacking. Using 16S rRNA sequencing 3D cartography, this study plotted characterized high- definition, based 1,649 samples from 12 individuals. Analysis yielded a number novel insights,...
