Medical Microbiome ScientificModeling and Microbiome Analyses Reveal Unexpected Outcomes of Antimicrobial Therapy in Polymicrobial Cystic Fibrosis

3 August 2022by Barış Özdinç0

Antibiotic use is widespread and a key weapon against bacterial infections. However, their behavior against complex microbial communities is still unknown, as they are typically developed against distinct, individual pathogens. Understanding the effect of specific antibiotics on microbial communities is important for effective treatment of polymicrobial infections, such as those found in cystic fibrosis (CF)...

COVID-19 Microbiome ScientificCOVID-19 Surveillance through Wastewater Microbiome Analysis

3 August 2022by Barış Özdinç0

Nasal swabs and saliva are conventional methods for detection of SARS-CoV-2, but the virus is also present in feces. Therefore, fecal material in wastewater samples could be used to track community dynamics of the virus. To do that, Brumfield et al. (2022) collected wastewater samples from manholes and then processed them for microbial genome sequencing...

30 July 2022by Dana Walsh0

Introduction The advent of metagenomic sequencing has led to significant advancements in our understanding of the microbiome in a wide variety of contexts, from the human body1 to farm animals2,3, soil, and marine environments4. Each unique environment provides its own set of challenges in accurate microbial identification, including low microbial biomass in ocean samples, PCR...

Bioinformatics Medical Microbiome ScientificUnlocking the Microbiome: The Gut Microbiome in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patients with or without Infectious Complications

26 July 2022by Barış Özdinç0

The human gut microbiome is a key modulator of human health. It is known to play important roles in the outcome of treatments and diseases, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Although survival rates of ALL exceed 90%, infectious complications still remain a challenge to disease prognosis and quality of life. Recent studies suggest a link...

22 July 2022by Barış Özdinç0

Every day somebody loses a loved one. Bereavement is often accompanied by stress, health decline, less energy, problems in eating, an upset belly, and more. A recent piece in Time magazine suggests that grief affecting the gut microbiome may be the culprit. To start with, stress may activate the sympathetic nervous system to induce a...

Animal Conservation Microbiome ScientificThe Importance of Microbiomes for Animal Health and Conservation

22 July 2022by Barış Özdinç0

A recent article from the Smithsonian Magazine highlights the importance of animal gut microbiomes in conserving animal species, both in captivity and in the wild. Microbes help animals digest their food, defend them against disease and even contribute to nursing their babies. Consequently, animal ecologists, nutritionists, and veterinarians work alongside geneticists to illuminate the role...

Environmental Microbiome ScientificLarval gut microbiota munch on plastic waste

22 July 2022by Barış Özdinç0

Plastic waste is a soaring crisis, so much so that islands of plastic have formed in our oceans. Polystyrene, a common plastic used in the form of foam, sheets, or molded into food containers, packaging, and even in lab equipment is a notorious contributor to the plastic waste problem. A recent article from Scientific American...

8 July 2022by Dana Walsh0

By Barış Özdinç Dogs have been man’s best friend for centuries and continue to be popular pets today. According to the American Pet Products Association National Pet Owners Survey, 53.4% of American households own a dog. People love their dogs like family members and may be naturally interested in ways in which to improve...

Bioinformatics Microbiome ScientificDetection of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes on Mobile Phones in a Healthcare Setting Using the CosmosID-HUB Microbiome

6 July 2022by Dana Walsh0

Mobile phones have become essential to modern-day living; they are the main communication device for two-thirds of the human population (Kemp 2020). People handle their mobile phones up to 2000 times per day, which can total up to 3h and 37 minutes (Winnick 2016). Consequently, mobile phones have emerged as a fomite that could play...
