(meta)proteomics analysis of bacterial compartment of raw milk is applied to obtain a method that provides a measurement of circulating AMR involved proteins and gathers information about the whole bacterial composition.
Abstract
The environment, including animals and animal products, is colonized by bacterial species that are typical and specific of every different ecological niche. Natural and human-related ecological pressure promotes the selection and expression of genes related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). These genes might be present in a bacterial consortium but might not necessarily be expressed. Their expression could be induced by the presence of antimicrobial compounds that could originate from a given ecological niche or from human activity. In this work, we applied (meta)proteomics analysis of bacterial compartment of raw milk in order to obtain a method that provides a measurement of circulating AMR involved proteins and gathers information about the whole bacterial composition. Results from milk analysis revealed the presence of 29 proteins/proteoforms linked to AMR. The detection of mainly β-lactamases suggests the possibility of using the milk microbiome as a bioindicator for the investigation of AMR. Moreover, it was possible to achieve a culture-free qualitative and functional analysis of raw milk bacterial consortia.

Improving reproducibility in animal research by splitting the study population into several ‘mini-experiments’

TL;DR: It is shown that the use of such a ‘mini-experiment’ design improved the reproducibility and accurate detection of exemplary treatment effects in about half of all investigated strain comparisons.

The effects of training population design on genomic prediction accuracy in wheat

TL;DR: The results of this study emphasise the importance of the training panel design in relation to the genetic material to which the resulting prediction model is to be applied, and the design of training sets is in turn central to achieving sufficient levels of accuracy.

Analysis of Models of Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiomyopathy in Rats and Mice. A Modern View From the Perspective of the Pathophysiologist and the Clinician.

TL;DR: A review of the main existing models of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy using small laboratory animals is presented in this article, where the authors discuss the most significant challenges to the development of new methods of prevention and treatment, as well as to the unambiguous choice of a specific treatment regimen using the existing pharmacological tools.

Microalgal-based feed: promising alternative feedstocks for livestock and poultry production

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined microalgae as a potential feedstock for domestic animals due to their abundance of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, minerals, vitamins, and other high-value products.

Intestinal Health of Pigs Upon Weaning: Challenges and Nutritional Intervention.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of functional feed additives in enhancing the growth and health of nursery pigs during the post-weaning period is discussed. But, the authors did not consider the nutritional intervention using a single feed additive or a combination of different additives that can enhance feed intake, increase weight gain and reduce mortality and morbidity.

Unravelling the effect of clostridia spores and lysozyme on microbiota dynamics in Grana Padano cheese: A metaproteomics approach.

TL;DR: This work applied, for the first time in cheese, a metaproteomic approach that identified the functional dynamics of microbial consortia in relation to the number of clostridial spores and lysozyme treatment using experimental samples of Grana Padano cheese.

Occurrence of cfr-mediated multiresistance in staphylococci from veal calves and pigs, from humans at the corresponding farms, and from veterinarians and their family members

TL;DR: This study reports on the emergence of linezolid-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci containing the multiresistance gene cfr in veal calves and pigs, as well as in humans exposed to these animals, and investigates whether such isolates are disseminated as nasal colonizers in non-hospitalized humans in the community.

Detection of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases Resistance Genes among Bacteria Isolated from Selected Drinking Water Distribution Channels in Southwestern Nigeria

TL;DR: Classic bla TEM ESBL gene was present in multiple bacterial strains that were isolated from DWDS sources in Nigeria and these environments may serve as foci exchange of genetic traits in a diversity of Gram-negative bacteria.

A survey of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in urban wetlands in southwestern Nigeria as a step towards generating prevalence maps of antimicrobial resistance

TL;DR: The results indicate that contamination of these urban aquatic ecosystems with clinically relevant antibiotic resistant bacteria is substantial in some areas and measures should be put in place to mitigate the propagation of clinically relevant antimicrobial resistance within the Nigerian aquatic ecosystems.
