Bacterial communities of the oviduct of turkeys
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractBacterial communities in the reproductive tract of avian species play an important role in keeping birds healthy and encouraging growth. Infection can occur during egg formation with pathogens that can be transmitted to the embryo. In this study, we investigated the bacterial composition in the turkey reproductive tract using a taxa ...

mBio, 2022 Quorum sensing (QS) is a mechanism of cell-cell communication that connects gene expression to environmental conditions (e.g., cell density) in many bacterial species, mediated by diffusible signal molecules.

From Insect Communication to Bacterial Communication [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2014 One of the driving forces in the early stages of the ISCE and the Journal of Chemical Ecologywas the aim to unravel the chemistry and biology of insect communication. Since then, a remarkable number of insect pheromones have been identified, probably for about 1,000 species, and the mysteries of their formation and perception elucidated, in some cases ...

Amplifying the innate immune response : cell-cell propagation of proinflammatory signals during bacterial infection [PDF]
, 2012 The enteroinvasive bacterium Shigella flexneri uses multiple secreted effector proteins to downregulate interleukin-8 (IL-8) expression in infected epithelial cells. Nevertheless, massive IL-8 secretion is observed in shigellosis. In this thesis, a novel

Community-acquired bacterial meningitis [PDF]
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2016 Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges and subarachnoid space that can also involve the brain cortex and parenchyma. It can be acquired spontaneously in the community - community-acquired bacterial meningitis - or in the hospital as a complication of invasive procedures or head trauma (nosocomial bacterial meningitis).

Bacterial Communities: Interactions to Scale [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 In the environment, bacteria live in complex multispecies communities. These communities span in scale from small, multicellular aggregates to billions or trillions of cells within the gastrointestinal tract of animals. The dynamics of bacterial communities are determined by pairwise interactions that occur between different species in the community ...

The defensome of complex bacterial communities
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractBacteria have developed various defense mechanisms to avoid infection and killing in response to the fast evolution and turnover of viruses and other genetic parasites. Such pan-immune system (defensome) encompasses a growing number of defense lines that include well-studied innate and adaptive systems such as restriction-modification, CRISPR ...

mBio, 2023 Members of the genus Mesorhizobium, which are core components of the rhizosphere and specific symbionts of legume plants, possess genes for acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum sensing (QS).

Antibiotics, 2023 Bacteria can communicate through quorum sensing, allowing them to develop different survival or virulence traits that lead to increased bacterial resistance against conventional antibiotic therapy. Here, fifteen essential oils (EOs) were investigated for
