Phylogeny, Synteny, and Distribution of Type III Secretion Systems in Burkholderia cenocepacia: A Closer Look Into Host Span [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpenType III secretion systems (T3SS) have been described in many Gram‐negative bacteria, including the human opportunistic pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia, originally described in association with plants. The present work aimed to identify T3SS genes in a

Structural Stability of Burkholderia cenocepacia Biofilms Is Reliant on eDNA Structure and Presence of a Bacterial Nucleic Acid Binding Protein [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal inherited genetic disorder affection Caucasians. Even with medical advances, CF is life-shortening with patients typically surviving only to age 38.

Deciphering the Role of RND Efflux Transporters in Burkholderia cenocepacia [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 is representative of a highly problematic group of cystic fibrosis (CF) pathogens. Eradication of B. cenocepacia is very difficult with the antimicrobial therapy being ineffective due to its high resistance to clinically ...

Evaluation of combination therapy for Burkholderia cenocepacia lung infection in different in vitro and in vivo models [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for life-threatening infections in cystic fibrosis patients. B. cenocepacia is extremely resistant towards antibiotics and therapy is complicated by its ability to form biofilms.

<i>Cis</i>-2-decenoic acid modulates <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> virulence through a noncanonical transcriptional regulator. [PDF]
mLifeAbstract Diffusible signal factor (DSF)‐family quorum sensing (QS) signals are widely utilized by many pathogenic bacteria to modulate various biological functions and virulence. Previous studies showed that cis‐2‐decenoic acid (cis‐DA) is involved in the modulation of biofilm dispersion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but the regulatory mechanism is ...

Endophytic Biostimulant Pyrroloquinoline Quinone Enhances Banana Growth and Primes Immunity Against Fusarium Wilt. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a redox cofactor derived from prokaryotes that participates in various biological processes involving dehydrogenase enzymes. Previous field trials identified a PQQ‐producing endophyte, Burkholderia seminalis 869T2, which enhances banana growth and reduces Fusarium wilt incidence from 24.5% to 3.4%.
