Bacterial autoaggregation [PDF]

open access: yesAIMS Microbiology, 2018
Many bacteria, both environmental and pathogenic, exhibit the property of autoaggregation. In autoaggregation (sometimes also called autoagglutination or flocculation), bacteria of the same type form multicellular clumps that eventually settle at the bottom of culture tubes.

Introducing the Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (BV-BRC): a resource combining PATRIC, IRD and ViPR

open access: yesNucleic Acids Res., 2022
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) established the Bioinformatics Resource Center (BRC) program to assist researchers with analyzing the growing body of genome sequence and other omics-related data.

Bacterial rheotaxis [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012
The motility of organisms is often directed in response to environmental stimuli. Rheotaxis is the directed movement resulting from fluid velocity gradients, long studied in fish, aquatic invertebrates, and spermatozoa. Using carefully controlled microfluidic flows, we show that rheotaxis also occurs in bacteria.

Unicycler: Resolving bacterial genome assemblies from short and long sequencing reads

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2016
The Illumina DNA sequencing platform generates accurate but short reads, which can be used to produce accurate but fragmented genome assemblies. Pacific Biosciences and Oxford Nanopore Technologies DNA sequencing platforms generate long reads that can ...

Honey bee gut microbiome is altered by in-hive pesticide exposures

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are the primary pollinators of major horticultural crops. Over the last few decades, a substantial decline in honey bees and their colonies have been reported.

Bacterial biofilms: a common cause of persistent infections.

open access: yesScience, 1999
Bacteria that attach to surfaces aggregate in a hydrated polymeric matrix of their own synthesis to form biofilms. Formation of these sessile communities and their inherent resistance to antimicrobial agents are at the root of many persistent and chronic

Lettuce genotype resistance to "soft rot" caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2014
Soft rot, caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc), is the main bacterial disease affecting lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) crops in Brazil and leads to significant yield losses.

A Novel Approach for Combating Klebsiella pneumoniae Biofilm Using Histidine Functionalized Silver Nanoparticles

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Treating pathogens is becoming challenging because of multidrug resistance and availability of limited alternative therapies which has further confounded this problem.

A standardized bacterial taxonomy based on genome phylogeny substantially revises the tree of life

open access: yesNature Biotechnology, 2018
Taxonomy is an organizing principle of biology and is ideally based on evolutionary relationships among organisms. Development of a robust bacterial taxonomy has been hindered by an inability to obtain most bacteria in pure culture and, to a lesser ...
