NewsCarnivore gut microbes can predict health of wild ecosystems
Gut microbes of wild marten (Martes americana) that live in relatively pristine natural habitat is distinct from the gut microbiome of wild marten that live in areas that are more heavily impacted by human activity, researchers have found. The finding highlights an emerging tool that will allow researchers and ...

NewsGull droppings undermine efforts to control spread of colistin-resistance genes
Gull droppings at beaches in the Porto region of Portugal are riddled with bacteria that are resistant to the ‘last-resort’ antibiotic colistin, undermining efforts in the livestock sector to reduce colistin-resistance, according to a paper published in Environmental Microbiology, an Applied Microbiology International publication. Researchers at the ...
