In this manuscript, we address the classifications of probiotics, the compositions and functions of the gut microbiota in poultry, and examine the connection between probiotics and the gut microbiota and their roles in promoting the poultry growth. Probiotics are widely used in poultry production, including <i>Lactobacillus</i>, <i>Bacillus</i>, <i>Bifidobacterium</i>, <i>Streptococcus</i>, <i>Enterococcus</i>, and <i>Clostridium</i>, which can exert beneficial effects through various mechanisms, such as increasing the abundance and diversity of the gut microbiota, promoting the secretion of digestive enzymes and antimicrobial substances, optimizing immune microenvironment homeostasis, and enhancing the intestinal barrier. Furthermore, new probiotic products are emerging in poultry production, including prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics. Other novel approaches are used in poultry production to improve their growth and immune performances and inherit beneficial microbial communities, including the integration of probiotics with gut health-promoting agents and the genetic selection of microbiota.

Exogenous expression of the Zuo1 C-terminus or the Ssz1 N-terminus-but not Ssb1/2-independently activates the transcription factor Pdr1 (but not Pdr3), enhances the transcription of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes <i>PDR5</i>, <i>SNQ2</i>, and <i>YOR1</i>, and increases pleiotropic drug resistance. Furthermore, upregulation of ABC transporter genes by <i>ZUO1</i> and <i>SSZ1</i> leads to the release of quorum-sensing molecules, which cause cell growth arrest during diauxic shifts. In this study, we examined whether <i>SSB1/2</i> are required for the expression of ABC transporter genes and the release of quorum-sensing molecules that lead to cell growth arrest during diauxic shifts. Our results show that Ssb1/2 increased the mRNA levels of <i>PDR5</i>, <i>SNQ2</i>, and <i>YOR1</i> during the late logarithmic growth phase and increased resistance to cycloheximide and fluconazole, possibly via the same pathway as Zuo1 or Ssz1. Furthermore, Ssb1/2 induced <i>PDR5</i> expression and resistance to cycloheximide and fluconazole, possibly via the same pathway as Pdr3 (but not Pdr1). In addition, it was suggested that Ssb1/2 are involved in the release of quorum-sensing molecules into the culture medium, which could signal cell growth arrest during diauxic shifts.

However, the use of FM in aquafeed formulation is facing difficulties due to concerns regarding availability, price, overfishing, and sustainability. Thus, there is a growing interest in seeking alternative protein sources from plant and animal by-products to partially or fully replace FM in aquafeed. Challenges such as lower nutrient bioavailability, high antinutritional factors, indigestible materials, microbial contaminants, and lower palatability issues have limited the incorporation of these protein sources into aquafeed. The application of solid-state fermentation (SSF) strategy represents a sustainable method to address these problems by improving aquafeed quality and introducing health-promoting beneficial microbes. Moreover, numerous studies have shown that SSF enhances growth, feed utilization, health status, immune system, and disease resistance in aquaculture species. At present, molecular approaches such as transcriptomics and proteomics techniques are widely used tools for evaluating the impacts of SSF on fish and shrimp. They provide valuable insights into the mRNA transcripts and proteomes related gene expressions associated with growth, immunity, and stress response. In this article, we outline the requirements for SSF and discussed its role in ameliorating growth, health, immunity, and disease resistance in farmed species.

Poor wound healing intensifies the severity of DFU, which currently has a 15%-20% prevalence and thus poses a significant healthcare challenge. DFU treatment is often considered complicated due to multifaceted problems, including high cost, low stability, and prolonged healing time. Thus, there is a need to find multidisciplinary, cost-effective, and potential treatment options. In parallel, the role of skin and gut microbiota has been highlighted, influencing the progression of DFU. Probiotics, when used in sufficient amounts, confer a health benefit to the host and are found to have a promising treatment potential for DFU. Probiotics exert beneficial effects that help to improve the management and healing of DFU, following various mechanisms like controlling hyperglycemia, enhancing immune function, modulating the microbiota, and maintaining glucose homeostasis, all of which contribute to improved management and healing of DFU. Despite the potential of probiotics in DFU treatment, their precise mechanisms, optimal strains, dosages, and experimental validation remain underexplored. To fully explore the probiotic potential for DFU, extensive animal studies and clinical trials are needed. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of DFU, existing treatment options, current limitations, and the growing importance of probiotic therapy.

HAI in ICUs include mainly four types of infections: Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), catheter-related urinary tract infection (CAUTI), and surgical site infections (SSI). In this study, we aimed to characterise the bacteriological andantibiotic resistance profiles of all types of HAI along with their outcomes in the ICU of a tertiary care hospital in Eastern India.

This was a prospective study for a period of three months. Appropriate specimens were collected from admitted patients suspected of having infections for identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing. The outcomes were determined based on either the discharge of the patient, a transfer to a separate ward, or death within the hospital. A total of 169 patients were included in the study, of which 65 patients (38%) acquired an HAI in the ICU. Thirteen patients were diagnosed with multiple types of infections.
