TL;DR: This work proposes a formulation for a forward primer (27f) that includes three sequences not usually present that is better at maintaining the original rRNA gene ratio of Lactobacillus spp.

TL;DR: High throughput microbial 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing indicated that diversity, richness and composition of howler GI microbiomes varied with host habitat in relation to diet, and a reduction in the number of genes related to butyrate production and hydrogen metabolism in the microbiomes of howlers occupying suboptimal habitats may impact host health.

TL;DR: Biosecurity: the Changing Roles of Microbiologists in an Age of Bioterrorism and Emerging Diseases is published, with a focus on the role of vaccine and the changing roles ofmicrobes and disease.

TL;DR: Obesity during childhood and adolescence was associated with increased vertebral bone density and increased whole-body bone dimensions and mass and these differences persisted after adjustment for obesity-related increases in height, maturation, and lean mass.

TL;DR: Recent comparative genomics and molecular pathogenesis studies that have advanced the understanding of the multiple virulence mechanisms employed by Pasteurella species to establish acute and chronic infections are reviewed.
