The human microbiome, the community of microorganisms that reside on and inside the human body, is critically important for health and disease. However, it is influenced by various factors and may vary among individuals residing in distinct geographi...
Sex differences in the gut microbiome have been examined previously, but results are inconsistent, often due to small sample sizes. We investigated sex and menopausal differences in the gut microbiome in a large multi-ethnic population cohort study, ...
Emerging multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains are the main challenges to the progression of new drug discovery. To diminish infectious disease-causing pathogens, new antibiotics are required while the drying pipeline of potent antibiotics is adding to t...
The challenge of rapid identification of bacteria in food and water still persists as a major health problem. To tackle this matter, we have developed a single-probe liquid crystal (LC)-based optical sensing platform for the differentiation of five c...
Drowning incidents present significant challenges for forensic investigators in determining the exact site of occurrence. Traditional forensic methods often rely on physical evidence and circumstantial clues, but the emerging field of forensic microb...
The emergence and rapid spread of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains is a growing concern of public health. Inspired by the natural bactericidal surfaces of lotus leaves and shark skin, increasing attention has been focused on the use of mechano-b...
Foodborne pathogenic infections pose a significant threat to human health. Accurate detection of foodborne diseases is essential in preventing disease transmission. This study proposed an AI model for precisely identifying foodborne pathogenic bacter...
Fast and accurate detection of infectious bacteria in wounds is crucial for effective clinical treatment. However, traditional methods take over 24 h to yield results, which is inadequate for urgent clinical needs. Here, we introduce a deep learning-...
Array-based sensing technology holds immense potential for discerning the intricacies of biological systems. Nevertheless, developing a universal strategy for simultaneous identification of diverse types of multianalytes and meeting the diagnostic ne...
Wastewater sludges (WSs) are major reservoirs and emission sources of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in cities. Identifying antimicrobial resistance (AMR) host bacteria in WSs is crucial for understanding AMR formation and mitigating biological a...
