Metatranscriptome analysis of blood in healthy individuals and irritable bowel syndrome patients
Conclusion. Our findings support the existence of the blood microbiome and suggest the gut and possibly the oral microbiome as its origin, while the skin microbiome is a possible but less certain source. The blood microbiome is likely influenced by states of increased gut permeability such as IBS.PMID:37335601 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001719 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Long-term surveillance of group B < em > Streptococcus < /em > strains isolated from infection and colonization in pregnant women and newborns
Conclusion. Between 2000 and 2018, we observed a decrease in the proportion of CC1 strains, which mainly express CPS type V, and an increase in the proportion of CC23 strains, mainly expressing CPS type Ia. Conversely, there was no significant change in the proportion of strains resistant to macrolides, lincosamides or tetracyclines. The two molecular techniques used in our study provide almost as much information as classical serotyping and multilocus sequence typing, but are quicker, easy to perform, and avoid long sequencing and analysis steps.PMID:37335614 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001717 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

Epidemiology and urological pathogenic potential of < em > Aerococcus < /em > species in greater Glasgow and Clyde (Descriptive study of < em > Aerococcus urinae < /em > in blood culture and urinary samples: clinical importance and potential marker of urinary tract pathology)
Conclusion. A. urinae are emerging pathogens and are likely to become more common due to advances in laboratory technologies and an ageing population. Clinical teams should be aware of their urological pathogenic potential and not dismiss them as contaminants. Whether Aerococcus infection is a potential indicator for undiagnosed urinary tract malignancy warrants further studies.PMID:37335077 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001690 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)

A comparison of qPCR and microscopy for the detection and enumeration of < em > Cryptosporidium < /em > oocysts from drinking water
Conclusions. Despite these results, qPCR offers practical advantages over microscopy. There is potential for the use of PCR-based methods for Cryptosporidium analysis if parts of the upstream sample preparation are revised, and alternative technologies for enumeration (such as digital PCR) are also explored to improve analytical sensitivity.PMID:37335085 | DOI:10.1099/jmm.0.001715 (Source: Journal of Medical Microbiology)
