Customer Success Stories Environmental Metagenomics MicrobiomeLivestock Waste and Treated Wastewater Can Be Reservoirs for Antimicrobial Resistance

14 March 2023by Barış Özdinç0

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health concern, with the potential to render many of our current antibiotics ineffective. A recent study draws conclusions on the potential role of livestock waste and treated wastewater as reservoirs for AMR. The study investigated the presence and abundance of AMR genes in livestock waste and treated...

14 March 2023by Barış Özdinç0

Gulf War illness (GWI) is a chronic condition significantly affecting veterans who served in the 1991 Gulf War. A range of symptoms, including fatigue, pain, cognitive impairment, and gastrointestinal issues characterize GWI. Despite extensive research, the underlying causes of GWI are still not fully understood. A recent study sheds some light on the...

Approximately 85%–90% of individuals develop acne during adolescence, a time period that coincides with the onset and transition through puberty. It is well established that the physical and biochemical properties of the skin are influenced by puberty and skin colonization by microbes. Functional genes encoded in the microbes may alter skin ecology as well. In...

15 February 2023by Barış Özdinç0

Until recently, there has been a gap in information about the temporal changes of the gut microbiome associated with malaria infection. To fill that gap, a recent study– where shotgun sequences were analyzed by the CosmosID-HUB Microbiome Platform – used 16S rRNA and shotgun sequencing to analyze the rectal samples from experimentally malaria-infected macaques...

BiomeBytes Medical MicrobiomeThe Interplay of the Microbiome, Gut-Brain Axis and Systematic Racism

27 January 2023by Barış Özdinç0

Systematic racism contributes to health inequities and partially manifests as daily episodes of discrimination. It is a threat to mental and physical health. There are links between negative health outcomes, such as rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune inflammatory disease and chronic stress which may be induced by racism, says a recent article published on CNBC. What...

27 January 2023by Barış Özdinç0

All animals carry a plethora of bacteria, viruses, archaea and fungi, and their internal microbial ecosystems provide them with nutrients, immunity, and defense against pathogens. Microbiome sequencing is becoming cheaper and more advanced from day to day. This means that microbiome sequencing of animals, even rare animals, which was once thought to be...

19 January 2023by Barış Özdinç0

The gut microbiome is critical to good animal health and environmental factors are influential on the microbiome. Environmental variations such as altered ecosystems, degraded habitats, deforestation or captivity may have negative impacts on host-microbiome communities, and cripple host fitness, making it a vital issue for ecology research. In this blog, we will explore the...
