    Abstract The beneficial live microbes of humans and animals are termed probiotics, and the chemical compounds that improve the growth of probiotics are known as prebiotics. Paraprobiotics and postbiotics refer to dead or inactivated living cells of probiotics and healthful metabolic products that are produced by the living cells of probiotics, respectively. Although the healthful, functional, nutritional, and immune benefits of probiotics and prebiotics are scientifically well established beyond a reasonable doubt, their potential biological roles against COVID-19 infection still warrant further clinical and laboratory investigation.

    Abstract The objective of this study was to explore a novel methodology for the synthesis of nanocoated probiotics following their collection and cultivation under optimized conditions, in light of their significant contribution to human health. Probiotics are instrumental in sustaining immune health by modulating the gastrointestinal microbiota and facilitating digestion. However, the equilibrium they maintain can be adversely affected by antibiotic treatments. It is critical to investigate the vulnerability of probiotics to antibiotics, considering the potential implications. This research aimed to assess whether nanoparticle coating could augment the probiotics' resistance to antibiotic influence. A strain of

    Abstract Background: Small colony variants (SCVs) are biotypes of bacteria that have a size of approximately one-tenth or less of the wild types and has distinct characteristics comparing to the wild type strains. Clinical SCVs are usually associated with persistent infection and require a long-term treatment program with antibiotics. In Saudi Arabia, there are few studies about SCVs Escherichia coli for this reason, this study is aimed to investigate the ability of gentamicin to mutate E. coli ATCC 25922 to produce small SCVs and investigate the genotypes and phenotypes changes and stress tolerance comparing to clinical SCVs E. coli and normal clinical E. coli Isolated from blood samples.
    Methods: In this investigation, four clinical blood samples were collected ted from patients and the cultivation and isolation were carried out in KFMC between December 2019 and February 2021. The identification of positive blood culture samples was done using phoenix MD. Non-SCV E. coli ATCC25922 were mutated to SCV using exposure to increasing gradual concentrations of gentamicin at 100-generation intervals. Biochemical features and susceptibility to standard antibiotics using automated Phoenix MD 50 and. The survival assays were done using several stresses including heat shock, low pH, high osmotic pressure, and oxidative pressure. Virulence genes screening included the detection of genes that encoded to α-haemolysin, CS12 fimbriae, F17-like fimbrial adhesion, P-related fimbriae, yersiniabactin siderophore system, P-fimbriae, aerobactin, iron-regulated genes using PCR and gel electrophoresis.
    Results: The data from the mutating E. coli ATCC 25922 small colony test with gentamicin revealed that the first emergence of the multidrug resistance (MDR) SCV E. coli strain occurred at generation number 250, corresponding to a gentamicin concentration of 57 g/ml. Pathogenicity islands detection revealed that all tested E. coli strains have PAI IV 536 genes on their chromosomes furthermore, mutated SCV E. coli ATCC 25922 acquired PAII CFT
    Conclusion: The present work concluded that gentamicin sub-MIC concentration gradual exposure can induce mutation responsible for SCV formation and evolving of MDR E. coli strains. The mutated SCVs evolved high-level aminoglycoside resistance for gentamicin and resistance to amikacin, it also developed resistance to 2 cephalosporin antibiotics cefuroxime, and cephalothin and a resistance to aztreonam.

    Abstract Some fruiting body fungi, such as mushrooms, have valuable nutritional and medicinal properties. The present study aimed to report some mushroom species for the first time in several regions of Saudi Arabia: Abha, Al-Baha, Al-Taif, and Jeddah. Morphological and microscopic features, the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, and a Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) analysis were studied to identify Crinipellis scabella, Parasola conopilea, Agrocybe pediades, Pyrofomes demidoffii, and Tulostoma fimbriatum in Al-Baha, and Conocybe macrospora, and Chlorophyllum palaeotropicum throughout Saudi Arabia. All mushrooms identified in this present work were Agaricomycotina mushrooms recorded for the first time in Saudi Arabia.

    Abstract Objective: Asthma is a heterogeneous and genetically complex respiratory disease, and more than 300 million people are affected worldwide. In this study, frequencies of four SNPs (rs3816470, rs7216389, rs8067378, rs12603332) in chromosome 17q21 region were analyzed and their relationship with the asthma susceptibility, in the Pashtun population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (KPK) of Pakistan were investigated.
    Methods: DNA samples from 500 subjects (asthma cases/controls) were genotyped by Sanger sequencing. Chi-square tests, logistic regression analysis, linkage disequilibrium, and haplotype analysis techniques were applied to study the association of the SNPs with asthma.
    Results: Genetic models, including recessive, dominant, co-dominant, over-dominant, and additive, were tested. The frequencies of alleles T/T at rs3816470 (OR = 1.91; 95%CI = 1.15-3.18;
    Conclusion: The 17q21 variants (rs3816470, rs7216389, rs12603332) were found significantly (
