    Abstract This research article examines the reaction-diffusion process in an immobilized enzyme batch reactor. The model incorporates strongly non-linear factors that are associated with standard Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The non-linear reaction-diffusion equations for substrate and product concentrations have been approximated analytically. Employing two different semi-analytical methods, Akbari-Ganji's method (AGM) and the modified Adomian decomposition method (MADM), to compute the dimensionless steady-state solutions to the system of non-linear differential equations for all values of reaction parameters. In addition, the dynamics of the mean integrated effectiveness factor of penicillin acylase in porous spherical particles have been presented for the determination of the local effectiveness factor. In order to gauge the potency of our proposed solution, we compare two semi-analytical results with a numerical result that are in good agreement across the whole concentration range. The proposed formulation aims to simulate the dynamic performance of the system utilizing the parameters and would enhance the determination of the optimum particle size for enzyme catalysts.

    Abstract The diverse microbial community that colonizes the gastrointestinal tract has remarkable effects on the host immune system and physiology resulting in homeostasis or disease. In both scenarios, the gut microbiota interacts with their host through ligand-receptor binding whereby the downstream signaling processes determine the outcome of the interaction as disease or the counteractive immune responses of the host. Despite several studies on microbe-host interactions and the mechanisms by which this intricate process happens, a comprehensive and updated inventory of known ligand-receptor interactions and their roles in disease is paramount. The ligands which originate as a result of microbial responses to the host environment contribute to either symbiotic or parasitic relationships. On the other hand, the host receptors counteract the ligand actions by mounting a neutral or an innate response. The varying degrees of polymorphic changes in the host receptors contribute to specificity of interaction with the microbial ligands. Additionally, pathogenic microbes manipulate host receptors with endogenous enzymes belonging to the effector protein family. This review focuses on the diversity and similarity in the gut microbiome-host interactions both in health and disease conditions. It thus establishes an overview that can help identify potential therapeutic targets in response to critically soaring antimicrobial resistance as juxtaposed to tardy antibiotic development research.

    Abstract Background: Some of the life-threatening, food-borne, and zoonotic infections are transmitted through poultry birds. Inappropriate and irrational use of antimicrobials in the livestock industry has resulted in an increased incidence of multi-drug resistant bacteria of epidemic potentials.
    Materials and methods: The adhesion and invasion properties of 11 free-range and broiler chicken derived Helicobacterpullorum isolates were evaluated. To examine the biofilm formation of H. pullorum isolates, crystal violet assay was performed. A quantitative assay of invasion-associated genes was carried out after infecting HepG2 cells with two different representative (broiler and free-range chicken) H. pullorum isolates, using RT-PCR assay. Furthermore, we investigated the prevalence of H. pullorum, Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella spp. in chicken caeca and oviducts to determine the possibility of trans-ovarian transmission.
    Results: All H. pullorum isolates adhered to HepG2 cells significantly but a notable difference towards their invasion potential was observed between free-range and broiler chicken isolates wherein broiler isolates were found to be more invasive compared to free-range isolates. Furthermore, cdtB, flhA and flaB genes of H. pullorum were upregulated post infection of HepG2 cells, in broiler chicken isolates compared to free-range chicken isolates. Moreover, all isolates of H. pullorum were found to form biofilm on the liquid-air interface of the glass coverslips and sidewalls of the wells with similar propensities. Despite presence of H. pullorum and C. jejuni in high concentrations in the caecum, they were completely absent in oviduct samples, thus ruling out the possibility of vertical transmission of these bacterial species. In contrast, Salmonella spp. was found to be present in a significant proportion in the oviduct samples of egg-laying hens suggesting its vertical transmission.
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that H. pullorum, an emerging multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogen could be transmitted from poultry sources to humans. In addition to this, its strong functional similarity with C. jejuni provides a firm basis for H. pullorum to be an emerging food-associated, MDR pathogenic bacterium that could pose risk to public health.

    Abstract Genomics-driven molecular epidemiology of pathogenic bacteria has largely been carried out through functionally neutral/inert sequences, mostly entailing polymorphic gene loci or repetitive tracts. However, it is very important to harness phenotypically relevant markers to assign a valid functional epidemiological context to tracking of pathogens. These should include microbial acumen to acquire multiple drug resistance (MDR), their physiological coordinates with reference to clinical or community-level dynamics of incidence/transmission, and their response or refractoriness to the activated immune system. We propose that multidimensional and multicentric approaches, based on diverse data integration coupled with comparative genomics and functional molecular infection epidemiology, would likely be successful in tracking the emergence and spread of MDR pathogens and thereby guiding the global infection control strategies in a highly informed manner.
