Summary: In this study, the regulatory effect of ompR gene on the biological characteristics and virulence of A. veronii TH0426 was investigated. Mutant and complement strains were constructed, and the results showed that the ompR gene deletion significantly reduced biofilm formation, osmotic stress resistance, and drug resistance of TH0426. Animal pathogenicity experiments also demonstrated a significant decrease in virulence. These findings indicate that ompR gene plays a role in regulating biofilm formation, drug sensitivity, osmotic stress resistance, and virulence of TH0426.

Summary: This study constructed a mutant strain to investigate the functional role of aodp gene in A. veronii TH0426, revealing that aodp deficiency leads to changes in growth rate, drug resistance, swimming ability, pathogenicity, and caspase activity of the bacterium. The down-regulation of 17 genes related to virulence due to aodp deficiency provides insights for further studies on the pathogenesis of A. veronii.

Summary: In this study, mutant and complemented strains of A. veronii TH0426 were constructed to investigate the impact of the hcp1 gene on the bacterial virulence. Deletion of the hcp1 gene resulted in flagella fracture and affected basic biological characteristics and pathogenicity of TH0426 cells. The study demonstrates that the hcp1 gene regulates flagella assembly and plays a role in the animal pathogenesis of TH0426.

Summary: This study constructed a genome-wide PPI network for Aeromonas veronii and found that its virulence factors had higher degree and betweenness centrality, tended to interact with each other, and were enriched in specific modules. The virulence factors may regulate A. veronii's virulence through signal transduction pathways and manipulate host biological processes by mimicking and competitively binding to host proteins.

Summary: This study investigated a case of severe mortality in farmed Labeo rohita and identified the causative agent as Aeromonas veronii. The isolated strain showed resistance to ampicillin and dicloxacillin, but susceptibility to 22 other antibiotics. It was also found that A. veronii induced stress and immune responses in L. rohita. The negative effects of the pathogen on fish health and high mortality rate highlight the need for A. veronii management.

Summary: A study found that cinnamaldehyde, extracted from a natural plant, has inhibitory effects on Aeromonas hydrophila infection. Cinnamaldehyde disrupts the bacterial quorum sensing system, reducing the pathogenic behaviors of A. hydrophila without affecting bacterial growth. It was also observed that cinnamaldehyde downregulates the expression of related genes and can effectively decrease host cell injury and increase the survival rate in A. hydrophila-infected hosts. These results suggest that cinnamaldehyde could be a potential candidate as a quorum sensing inhibitor against A. hydrophila infection.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of different heat treatments (pan-frying, deep-frying, baking, and boiling) on the quality and flavor of Black Tibetan sheep meat. The results showed that pan-fried meat had the highest sensory scores and nutritional content, including protein and amino acid. It also contained higher amounts of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, pan-fried and deep-fried meat had higher levels of volatile flavor compounds compared to baked meat. The study concluded that pan-fried Black Tibetan sheep meat had the best overall quality.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of Palm kernel meal (PKM) on the quality and flavor of Tibetan sheep meat. The results showed that Tibetan sheep in the group supplemented with 18% PKM exhibited superior eating quality and flavor profile, along with increased protein and fat deposition. Metabolomics analysis revealed that PKM feed affected meat metabolites and metabolic pathways. Furthermore, PKM supplementation also influenced the composition of rumen microorganisms, which in turn regulated meat quality. Overall, adding PKM can improve the quality and flavor of meat through its effects on muscle metabolism and rumen microorganisms.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a global issue that needs to be addressed. Bacteriophage, unlike antibiotics, can selectively kill target bacteria without affecting normal bacterial flora. This review describes the biological characteristics of phage and its application in China, including veterinary and human clinical treatment. Although phage has shown therapeutic potential, challenges such as narrow lysis spectrum, immune response, storage issues, and lack of unified regulations hinder its widespread use as a substitute for antibiotics. The aim is to highlight the advancing field of phage therapy and the challenges China faces in reducing antibiotic reliance.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to identify potential RNA binding proteins associated with the survival of gastric adenocarcinoma and investigate their biological characteristics and signaling pathways. A total of 1495 RNA binding protein related genes were analyzed for differential expression, resulting in 296 differential RNA binding proteins. Cox regression analysis identified 20 prognosis-related RNA binding proteins, from which a new prognostic model was constructed. The model was validated using survival analysis, receiver operating characteristic curves, and prognosis analysis curves, and a prediction nomogram with good performance was developed.

Summary: This study found that substituting alfalfa hay with corn silage as feed had a negative impact on the fertility of breeding bulls. Feeding corn silage decreased semen quality by reducing sperm motility and increasing deformity rate. It also affected the diversity of rumen microbiota, which was associated with semen quality. Overall, this study suggests that using corn silage as the primary source of forage could negatively affect semen quality in breeding bulls.
