TL;DR: Overall, the current study indicated that pearl millet plant harbors various species of endophytic Bacillus that possess excellent biocontrol and growth promotion activities and provides the highest protection against root rot and wilt infection with significant increase in plant biomass.

TL;DR: Both of the proposed assays are less sensitive than the current gold standard; however, the data shows a low sensibility variation, suggesting that these methods could be used by laboratories as a lower cost molecular method for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis.

TL;DR: An evolutionary analysis combining viral and host phylogenies and divergence of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 amino acid sequences between CoV hosts finds pangolin has become an opportune host to intermediates bat-to-human SARS-CoV-2 jump and entry.

TL;DR: Data was gathered to verify MRSA incidence in the world but especially in Brazil in food samples, food handlers, food-producing animals, and food processing environments, showing that MRSA is easily found and in certain cases with high frequency, thus representing a potential risk to public health.

TL;DR: These bacterial strains could be developed as inoculants for biological replenishment of K in stressed soils and identified 27 genera and 67 species which is not reported earlier.

TL;DR: CdS nanoparticle showed more cytotoxic effect on cancer cells compared with standard 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles were thus found to be highly toxic oncancer cells compare with standard anticancerous drug 5-ALa.

TL;DR: Root colonization with Sordariomycetes sp1-B’2 and M. elegans 21W2 resulted in improved nutrition with N and P in cowpea under salt stress, favoring the growth and rate of liquid photosynthesis, however, such positive responses were evident only at moderate levels of salinity.

TL;DR: 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide could be used as a drug molecule against biofilm development by inhibiting QS pathway in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

TL;DR: The aim of this work was to verify the occurrence, quantification, pulse types, and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of Salmonella sp.

TL;DR: Continuous monitoring of AMR profiles and molecular subtypes of NTS serovars is recommended for controlling the spread of resistant organisms.

TL;DR: Based on the obtained data, the isolates presented relatively safe characteristics and behavior, findings that should lead to further studies to assess their potential usage as beneficial cultures in the food industry.

TL;DR: Results show tolerance and adaptation to elevated concentrations of chromium (VI) of these fungal strains suggesting their potential as effective agents for bioremediation of tannery effluents.

TL;DR: The AA-based nanoformulation presented very high inhibitory and bactericidal activities against planktonic S. mutans, and the results indicate a strong antiplaque effect, but the formulation showed no antimicrobial effect on the established biofilm.

TL;DR: The results emphasize the need to further investigate the antifungal activity of each bioactive compound for the development of new formulations against fungal phytopathogens.

TL;DR: Results suggest that moderate or high levels of auxin and ACC deaminase production by the isolate CLV45 positively affected the growth of soybean plants, making it a strong candidate for further studies on biofertilizer formulation.

TL;DR: New empirical models that relate the shelf life of the sausage and the maximum specific growth rate of the lactic acid bacteria with the oil concentration were obtained and can be applied to model the influence of essential oils on the shelflife of different meat products.

TL;DR: The crude enzymatic extract was more effective in the decolorization of azo dyes (RB220 and RB5), more than 90% ofDecolorization, than anthraquinone dye with 77% decolorized, and the peptone and urea mixture was added to the solid state cultivation medium.

TL;DR: The results suggest the potential use of P. pentosaceus BLIS as a biopreservative in meat and other food processing industries.

TL;DR: The presence of C. jejuni in broiler farms and in the slaughterhouse is a hazard to consumer given that this pathogen can be maintained throughout the broiler production chain and contaminates the final product.

TL;DR: Findings place the novel bacteriocin BM1300 as a potential biopreservative in the food industry.

TL;DR: No adverse immune responses have occurred for the AHP-1 dose that used, and have potential for the phage therapy, and further detailed in vivo studies are needed to confirm the protective efficacy of newly isolated A HP-1 against A. hydrophila infection.

TL;DR: The existing data on the epidemiology of different IFIs in the MENA region is reviewed to help to guide appropriate interventions and to implement antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and control programs in countries.

TL;DR: Evaluating the efficiency of rotavirus removal in two wastewater treatment plants in Isfahan, Iran found that rotaviruses illustrate significantly higher frequency in cold seasons, underlines the significance of environmental surveillance.

TL;DR: The results of this study highlight the importance of mangroves as an enzyme source and show that bacterial groups can be used for starch and hemicellulose degradation.

TL;DR: Different stresses to induce Salmonella to the VNBC state were evaluated, showing morphological changes, reducing the size and changing the morphology from bacillary to coccoid on the cells stressed by acid or oxidant compounds.

TL;DR: Collectively, silver and copper-phendione derivatives presented potent antimicrobial action against planktonic- and biofilm-forming cells of carbapenemase-producing A. baumannii strains.

TL;DR: Predictions of the outbreak can be used to guide Brazilian health authorities in the decision-making to properly fight COVID-19 pandemic and suggest that each additional day that lasts to bend the daily new deaths curve may correspond to additional 1685 deaths at the end of CO VID-19 outbreak in Brazil.

TL;DR: The studies indicated an ancient origin of PCV3 and its circulation in asymptomatic animals in Brazilian herds, and the circulation of two different genotypes was reported, suggesting more than one introduction event of this virus into Brazil.

TL;DR: It is revealed that Trichophyton equinum was considered in the past as a strict zoophilic dermatophyte associated with horses and rarely transmitted to humans and can have other reservoirs and live in the fur of asymptomatic animals.

TL;DR: Features indicate the utility of this mutant strain in the production of enzymatic cocktails for biomass degradation and the low inhibition by the end-product of cellulose hydrolysis by T. reesei RP698.
