BackgroundThe reduction of antimicrobial usage (AMU) is in the focus in modern pig production. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of alternatives to reduce AMU at herd level. In a prospective study, 68 farrow-to-finish pig herds located in Belgium, France, Germany and Sweden were recruited on a voluntary basis to implement ...

BackgroundThe archaeological incidence of ancient human faecal material provides a rare opportunity to explore the taxonomic composition and metabolic capacity of the ancestral human intestinal microbiome (IM). Here, we report the results of the shotgun metagenomic analyses of an ancient South African palaeo-faecal specimen.MethodsFollowing the rec...

In this study, a yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) ceramic matrix abradable sealing coating named 8YSZ-5 was successfully prepared by mixed solution precursor plasma spraying, and its thermal shock behavior was studied in detail. During the thermal shock cycles, the microstructure, residual stress and phase stability of the 8YSZ-5 coating were exami...

BackgroundBrachyspira infections are causing major losses to the pig industry and lead to high antimicrobial use. Treatment of Brachyspira (B.) hyodysenteriae infections may be problematic due to the high level of antimicrobial resistance. The present study implemented and evaluated farm-specific eradication programmes for B. hyodysenteriae in 10 d...

Fluoropyrimidines (FP) are mainly metabolised by dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), encoded by the DPYD gene. FP pharmacogenetics, including four DPYD polymorphisms (DPYD-PGx), is recommended to tailor the FP-based chemotherapy. These polymorphisms increase the risk of severe toxicity; thus, the DPYD-PGx should be performed prior to starting FP...

Botrytis cinerea, a fungal pathogen that causes gray mold, displays a high degree of phenotypic diversity. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) with specific light spectrum are increasingly used as lighting resource for plant greenhouse production. The chosen light spectrum can also have an effect on the pathogens in this production system. In this study, ...

Utilizing the iron-carrying nanomaterials for Fenton chemistry mediation to catalyze decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and generate toxic hydroxyl radical (center dot OH) has drawn much attention in antimicrobial therapy field. However, these nanomaterials are usually with unsatisfactory catalytic efficacy and lack of the capacity to modulate the ...
