Length distribution of SSU rRNA sequences for the five microbial isolates in the Mock 2 community.

<p>A comparison was conducted between different RNA processing methods, without (blue) and with (orange) RNA denaturation. The x-axis indicates the read length of the SSU rRNA sequences, and the y-axis indicates the percentages of the SSU rRNA sequences obtained for the five isolates.</p

Comparison of the communities identified by SSU rRNA between enriched SSU rRNA- and total NA-derived RNA-seq datasets at different taxonomic levels.

<p>a, Phylum; b, Class; c, Order; d, Family; e, Genus; and f, Eukaryota. The percentages of SSU rRNA sequences for a particular taxon within the two datasets were plotted, and the eukaryotic percentages were plotted according to relative abundances of the fourth rank based on the SILVA database. The values in the legends are the slopes and coefficients of the regression equations, respectively. Explanations of Pa-Total and Pa-SSU are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0186161#pone.0186161.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p

Non-coverage rates of the bacterial primer 8F.

<p>Evaluation of non-coverage rates for primer 8F in total bacteria (a) and different phyla (b). The phyla with less than 10 non-coverage sequences in the datasets are not shown. The non-coverage rates were calculated by dividing non-coverage sequences (having at least one mismatch within primer 8F) of taxa with their relative total sequences. Explanations of abbreviations are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0186161#pone.0186161.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p

Position distribution patterns of 16S rRNA sequences from different RNA-seq datasets.

<p>An RNA denaturation step was performed before library preparation. a, Mock 1; b, Mock 2; c, Mock 3; d, Pa-Total; e, Pa-SSU. Explanations for Pa-Total and Pa-SSU are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0186161#pone.0186161.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p

Relative abundances of bacterial and eukaryotic taxa in the five datasets.

<p>a, relative abundance of bacterial taxa at phylum level; b, relative abundance of representative eukaryotic taxa at the fourth rank. ‘Other phyla’ or ‘Other’, includes taxa that made up of small fractions (<1%). ‘Unclassified’, includes sequences under a bootstrap cut-off value of 50% for bacteria or 80% for eukaryota. Explanations of abbreviations are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0186161#pone.0186161.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p

Image_6_Antibacterial activity of bioactive compounds extracted from red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seeds against multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales.JPEG

In the present study, biologically active compounds such as phenolic-rich extract (PRE), 7S globulin (vicilin), and 11S globulin (legumin) from red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seeds were extracted and evaluated as antibacterial agents against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterobacterales isolated from both animal and human sources. The overall occurrence rate of Enterobacterales was 43.6%, which significantly differed between animal (38.75%) and human (56.67%) sources. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that Enterobacterales isolates exhibited full resistance (100%) to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, followed by ampicillin (75.44%), erythromycin (71.93%), cefoxitin (70.18%), amoxicillin (66.66%), ceftriaxone (64.91%), and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (56.14%). Worthy of note, 97.92% of Enterobacterales isolates were MDR. The total phenolic contents (TPC; 53 ± 2 mg GAE g-1) and total flavonoid contents (TFC; 26 ± 1 mg QE g-1) were recorded. The major phenolic and flavonoid components were catechol (17.63 μg/mL) and hesperidin (11.37 μg/mL), respectively. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was performed to detect the 7S and 11S globulin‘s molecular mass. The data revealed that red kidney bean protein isolate (KPI) includes two major portions: 7S and 11S globulins. The bioactive compounds of Phaseolus vulgaris were investigated for their antibacterial activities against Enterobacterales for the first time. The protein component (MIC = 0.125 – 2 μg/mL; 53.85%) and its 7S and 11S globulin subunits (MIC = 0.5 – 2 μg/mL; 30.77% each) were the most potent extracts, whereas the methanolic extract was the least effective one (MIC = 2 μg/mL; 15.38%). The results displayed the potential of protein bioactive compounds as a hopeful candidate for enhancing future medication plans for the treatment of Enterobacterales originating from animal and human sources.</p
