Excessive Feed Sorting Is Associated With Altered Plasma Metabolism and Distinct Fermentation Responses of Pooled Rumen Microbiota in Dairy Cows

ABSTRACT Feed sorting behaviour in dairy cows alters dietary structure and has been associated with rumen dysfunction, but its systemic metabolic consequences and microbial acidogenic potential remain unclear. This study combined in vivo and in vitro approaches to investigate ass...

Phage-ICE tandems facilitate bacterial adaptation and antimicrobial resistance spread

Phages and integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) drive bacterial evolution, but how their interplay shapes bacterial adaptation and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) dissemination remains unclear. Here, we characterize phage-ICE tandems formed by site-specific accretion of pha...
