Bacterial Infection

Gut microbiota composition is related to anxiety and aggression scores in companion dogs.

There is mounting evidence for a link between behaviour and the gut microbiome in animal and human health. However, the role of the gut microbiome in the development and severity of behavioural issues in companion dogs is not yet fully understood. Here, we investigated the relationship between gut microbiota composition and aggression or anxiety in pet dogs. Dogs were assigned to higher or lower a...

CombiANT reader: Deep learning-based automatic image processing tool to robustly quantify antibiotic interactions.

Antibiotic resistance is a severe danger to human health, and combination therapy with several antibiotics has emerged as a viable treatment option for multi-resistant strains. CombiANT is a recently developed agar plate-based assay where three reservoirs on the bottom of the plate create a diffusion landscape of three antibiotics that allows testing of the efficiency of antibiotic combinations. T...
