Sustained Improvements in Student Outcomes Following Integration of Clinical Case Narratives in Veterinary Microbiology Curriculum
Microbiology education in veterinary curricula requires students to integrate complex foundational knowledge with clinical application, yet traditional lecture-based approaches often emphasize memorization over higher-order reasoning. In this study, we evaluated the impact of integrating clinically oriented, case-based instruction into a veterinary microbiology course within a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine curriculum. Using a quasi-experimental, multi-year design, student outcomes were...
Researchers discover how to turn one germ's drug resistance into an Achilles' heel
Researchers discover how to turn one germ's drug resistance into an Achilles' heel Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Decades of reliance on the antibiotic rifampicin have fueled the rise of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). But as the bacterium mutates to protect itself from the drug, it also creates new weak points that other therapies could exploit. Now, a new study published in Nature Microbiology shows that the most common rifampicin-resistance mutation...
Sleep apnea’s hidden heart disease trigger found in the gut
Sleep apnea’s hidden heart disease trigger found in the gut - Date: - June 9, 2026 - Source: - American Society for Microbiology - Summary: - A surprising gut-heart connection may help explain why sleep apnea increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. In mice, disabling a bile acid receptor called FXR sharply reduced plaque buildup, opening the door to potential new treatments based on gut microbes and their chemical signals. - Share: Millions of people worldwide live with obstructive...
Health Protection Report volume 20 (2026)
Health Protection Report volume 20 (2026) A national public health bulletin from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA). Documents Details The Health Protection Report (HPR) comprises: - routine reports on infections (microbiological and epidemiological data and associated commentary) - reports from UKHSA’s Environmental Health Protection Surveillance System - a digest of news on infections and other health protection topics For a full listing of the most recently published HPR surveillance...
Green space exposure, mental health and the nasal microbiome explored
Green space exposure, mental health and the nasal microbiome explored Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Plenty of studies have linked exposure to nature to a wide variety of health benefits, from improved cognitive function to lower blood pressure to better mental health. Other research has found connections between the human microbiome and time spent outside. But an overlooked, understudied player in that connection is the assemblage of microbes found in the nose, or...
Intermittent fasting triggers surprising changes in the brain
Intermittent fasting triggers surprising changes in the brain An intermittent fasting-style diet helped obese adults lose weight while triggering coordinated changes in both their gut bacteria and brain activity. - Date: - May 31, 2026 - Source: - Frontiers - Summary: - Losing weight may involve rewiring the gut and the brain at the same time. In a study of obese adults, an intermittent fasting-style diet led to significant weight loss, healthier metabolic markers, and notable shifts in gut...
Flesh-eating screwworm found in Texas cow. Are humans at risk?
Flesh-eating screwworm found in Texas cow. USDA announced the detection of a New World screwworm infection in a cow in Texas, marking the state's first confirmed case in decades. A fly that deposits its parasitic, flesh-eating offspring inside cows has been detected in Texas for the first time in decades, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported Wednesday (June 3).
Scientists say you've been throwing away perfectly good meat because of one common mistake
Scientists are rethinking the dates consumers see on food packaging — and their research could help reduce not only food waste but also economic losses and environmental impacts tied to discarded food. "The average American wastes more than 1,000 pounds of food each year," according to Auburn University researchers. Part of the reason is that sell-by dates are overly conservative, the researchers said in a news release announcing their work to predict spoilage more accurately.
Redesigning an elusive bacterial enzyme into an efficient green catalyst
Redesigning an elusive bacterial enzyme into an efficient green catalyst Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Industrial oxidation chemistry is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, accounting for nearly one-third of all chemical industrial processes. While essential for making pharmaceuticals, dyes, and many specialty chemicals, industrial oxidation typically relies on high-temperature, high-pressure processes involving toxic oxidizing agents. This has motivated...
