Effects of Variation in Urine Sample Storage Conditions on 16S Urogenital Microbiome Analyses

T. Kumar, M. Bryant, K. Cantrell, S. J. Song, D. McDonald, H. M. Tubb, S. Farmer, E. S. Lukacz, L. Brubaker, R. Knight

This study evaluates how urine sample storage conditions affect 16S rRNA gene sequencing results, finding that AssayAssure reduces microbial bias at colder temperatures but not significantly compared to no preservative.

Bacterial modification of the host glycosaminoglycan heparan sulfate modulates SARS-CoV-2 infectivity

C. Martino, B. P. Kellman, D. R. Sandoval, T. M. Clausen, C. A. Marotz, S. J. Song, S. Wandro, L. S. Zaramela, R. A. Salido Benitez, Q. Zhu, E. Armingol, Y. Vazquez-Baeza, D. McDonald, J. T. Sorrentino, B. Taylor, , R. Knight

This study shows that commensal bacteria modify heparan sulfate, reducing SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding and that this bacterial presence decreases with age, increasing COVID-19 susceptibility.

Early-life gut dysbiosis linked to mass mortality in ostriches

E. Videvall, S. J. Song, H. M. Bensch, M. Strandh, A. Engelbrecht, N. Serfontein, O. Hellgren, A. Olivier, S. Cloete, R. Knight, C. K. Cornwallis

The paper links early-life gut dysbiosis in ostriches to mass mortality by showing distinct microbial composition in deceased individuals compared to controls and the early presence of pathobionts.

The development of gut microbiota in ostriches and its association with juvenile growth

E. Videvall, S. J. Song, H. M. Bensch, M. Strandh, A. Engelbrecht, N. Serfontein, O. Hellgren, A. Olivier, S. Cloete, R. Knight, C. K. Cornwallis

This study examines gut microbiota development in juvenile ostriches and links microbial changes to growth patterns during their first three months of life.
