(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.

Occurrence of β-Lactamase-Producing Gram-Negative Bacterial Isolates in Water Sources in Cali City, Colombia

TL;DR: The results indicate that β-lactamase-producing Gram-negative bacteria are widespread in the environment in the aquatic ecosystem of Cali city, and this river can be considered as a medium for the spread of bacterial antibiotic resistance genes.

Liquid Atmospheric Pressure Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Adds Enhanced Functionalities to MALDI MS Profiling for Disease Diagnostics.

TL;DR: The potential of this MALDI MS profiling method is demonstrated on the detection of dairy cow mastitis, which is a substantial economic burden on the dairy industry with losses of hundreds of dollars per diseased cow per year, as well as leading to the use of large quantities of antibiotics, adding to the proliferation of antimicrobial resistance.

Short communication: Improved method for centrifugal recovery of bacteria from raw milk applied to sensitive real-time quantitative PCR detection of Salmonella spp.

TL;DR: This is the first report of an effective method for achieving high centrifugal recovery of bacteria from raw milk without impairing bacterial viability and a simple, rapid agitation treatment was developed that disrupted bacteria binding to the cream layer and provided more than 95% recovery without affecting bacteria viability.

Rapid liquid AP-MALDI MS profiling of lipids and proteins from goat and sheep milk for speciation and colostrum analysis

TL;DR: The data show that substantial changes in the lipid profile can account for the accurate classification of colostrum collected at the early and late time points, and allow unequivocal speciation analysis.
