The increasing antibiotic resistance of microbial pathogens isolated from farm animals tissues and the environment has been the one of the most important challenges associated with the use of antibiotics. In order to achieve better production on a farm, animal feed is enriched with antibiotics often originally intended for therapeutic purposes, which may lead to notable increases in microbial resistance. One possible approach to decreasing the excessive use of antibiotics in livestock as well as antimicrobial resistance is utilizing the antimicrobial properties of natural substances.The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of...

On July 17, 2019 the Director of the World Health Organization, based on an assessment of the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), named the Public Health Emergency of International Concern due to the ongoing epidemic of the Ebola haemorrhagic fever.The reasons for this measure are supported by a detailed analysis, which also assumes a high probability of the continued spread of the disease to new localities both in DRC and in cross-border areas. On the contrary, the global danger (the introduction of infection outside the African continent) was still assessed as low risk.

The gut microbiota of vertebrates, including humans, constitutes an integral genomic part that, together with the genome of the host, may be included under the umbrella concept of hologenome, which itself can be seen as one of the possible tools for evolution. Present-day lifestyles, technologically processed nutrients, and various diseases impact significantly upon composition of the intestinal microbiota. Knowledge recently brought to light has shown the gut microbiota to be a component of the microbiota–gut–brain axis having feedback effects on physiological and psychological processes of the host organism and its health. This minireview...
