Some Newer Antibiotics Active Against Helicobacter pylori and Anaerobic Bacteria and the Potential Benefits of Their Wider Availability in More Countries: A Narrative Review [PDF]

Antibiotics
It is crucial to consider newer antibiotics with activity against anaerobes and Helicobacter pylori, given their healthcare importance, and the constantly growing antibiotic resistance/multidrug resistance, which complicates the therapy.

Predicting oxygen levels in microbial habitats using a metagenome-based approach [PDF]

mSystems
Oxygen is a primary driver of the distribution and activity of microbial life. Since oxygen levels are often difficult to measure in situ, one potential solution is to use bacteria as bioindicators of oxygen levels.

The root zone of graminoids: A niche for H2-consuming acetogens in a minerotrophic peatland

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The importance of acetogens for H2 turnover and overall anaerobic degradation in peatlands remains elusive. In the well-studied minerotrophic peatland fen Schlöppnerbrunnen, H2-consuming acetogens are conceptualized to be largely outcompeted by iron ...

A microbial consortium alters intestinal Pseudomonadota and antimicrobial resistance genes in individuals with recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection

mBio, 2023
Intestinal colonization with pathogens and antimicrobial-resistant organisms (AROs) is associated with increased risk of infection. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) has successfully been used to cure recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI ...

Do the Culturable Microbial Groups Present in Cutaway Bogs Change According to Temporal Variation? Pilot Study Based on the Midlands in the Republic of Ireland

Applied Microbiology, 2023
Cutaway peatlands in the midlands of the Republic of Ireland are rarely the focus of scientific studies. The soil quality and related microenvironment have been severely impacted by peat extraction.

Architecture and Self-Assembly of Clostridium sporogenes and Clostridium botulinum Spore Surfaces Illustrate a General Protective Strategy across Spore Formers

mSphere, 2020
Spores, the infectious agents of many Firmicutes, are remarkably resilient cell forms. Even distant relatives can have similar spore architectures although some display unique features; they all incorporate protective proteinaceous envelopes.
