Pseudo-outbreak of Bacillaceae species associated with poor compliance with blood culture collection recommendations [PDF]
Abstract Purpose This study describes a pseudo-outbreak of Bacillaceae spp. bloodstream infections that spanned five months starting in May 2023 and the infection prevention measures implemented to control it. Methods This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary ...

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Bacterial Communities in Estuarine Mangrove Sediments in Zhejiang Province, China [PDF]
Mangrove forests are intertidal ecosystems that harbor diverse microbial communities essential for biogeochemical cycles and energy flow. This study investigated the seasonal and spatial patterns of bacterial communities in the artificially introduced ...

One Health Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Eastern Mediterranean: The Blackchin Guitarfish as a Case Study. [PDF]
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global One Health challenge, linking human, animal, and environmental health. Marine environments and organisms are increasingly recognized as reservoirs of antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria and mobile genetic elements.

Salt stress is a major abiotic stress that affects the growth of Reaumuria soongorica and many psammophytes in the desert areas of Northwest China. However, various Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been known to play an important role in ...

The Bacillaceae-1 RNA motif comprises two distinct classes [PDF]
Non-coding RNAs are key regulatory players in bacteria. Many computationally predicted non-coding RNAs, however, lack functional associations. An example is the Bacillaceae-1 RNA motif, whose Rfam model consists of two hairpin loops. We find the motif conserved in nine of 13 non-pathogenic strains of the genus Bacillus but only in one pathogenic strain.

Does reduced usage of antibiotics in livestock production mitigate the spread of antibiotic resistance in soil, earthworm guts, and the phyllosphere? [PDF]
The overuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry is widespread and believed to significantly contribute to the selection of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in animals.

Genome sequences of four endophytic Bacillaceae from wild lettuce. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Endophytic bacteria were isolated from roots and stems of prickly lettuce ( Lactuca serriola L.), a wild relative of cultivated lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Here, we report draft genome sequences of four strains:

Comparative phylogeny of rrs and nifH genes in the Bacillaceae [PDF]
The rrs (16S rDNA) gene sequences of nitrogen-fixing endospore-forming bacilli isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat and maize were determined in order to infer their phylogenetic position in the Bacillaceae. These rhizosphere strains form a monophyletic cluster with Paenibacillus azotofixans, Paenibacillus polymyxa and Paenibacillus macerans.

TGFβ/BMP immune signaling affects abundance and function of C. elegans gut commensals. [PDF]
The gut microbiota contributes to host health and fitness, and imbalances in its composition are associated with pathology. However, what shapes microbiota composition is not clear, in particular the role of genetic factors.
