Introducing the sporobiota and sporobiome

چکیده
Unrelated spore-forming bacteria share unique characteristics stemming from the presence of highly resistant endospores, leading to similar challenges in health and disease. These characteristics are related to the presence of these highly transmissible spores, which are commonly spread within the environment and are implicated in host-to-host transmission. In humans, spore-forming bacteria contribute to a variety of pathological processes that share similar characteristics, including persistence, chronicity, relapses and the maintenance of the resistome. We first outline the necessity of characterizing the totality of the spore-forming bacteria as the sporobiota based on their unique common characteristics. We further propose that the collection of all genes of spore-forming bacteria be known as the sporobiome. Such differentiation is critical for exploring the cross-talk between the sporobiota and other members of the gut microbiota, and will allow for a better understanding of the implications of the sporobiota and sporobiome in a variety of pathologies and the spread of antibiotic resistance.

We report here the draft genome sequence of Bacillus intestinalis strain 1731, a novel spore-forming bacterium isolated from the small intestine of a patient with intestinal cancer. The genome comprised 4,047,276 bp, with 43.9% G+C content. There were 3,913 predicted protein-coding genes, including those associated with antibiotic resistance and virulence.

Introducing a Non-Dichotomous Method for Scoring Selected-Response Tests
The main purpose of this study was to introduce a new non-dichotomous scoring procedure for the multiple-choice test method, called Parledge. The research also aimed to determine Parledge characteristics through a psychometric study comparing it with the “Number Correct” and “Correction for Guessing” scoring methods. There were 35 students participating in the study who were given a vocabulary ...
متن کاملStrong Optical Filed Intensity Improvement Introducing InGaAsP Quantum Wells in InP Nanocavity
This paper presents the optical characteristics of a quantum well doped InP nanocavity.The resonance wavelength of the nanocavity and the optical field intensity is calculated before and after presence of the quantum wells. The resulting huge filed intensity of about 1.2×108 respect to the incident field is the effect of quantum wells placed in vicinity of center of nanocavity.
