Geography and Location Are the Primary Drivers of Office Microbiome Composition. [PDF]
, 2016 In the United States, humans spend the majority of their time indoors, where they are exposed to the microbiome of the built environment (BE) they inhabit.

Movement ecology and sex are linked to barn owl microbial community composition. [PDF]
, 2020 The behavioural ecology of host species is likely to affect their microbial communities, because host sex, diet, physiology, and movement behaviour could all potentially influence their microbiota.

Intercellular Nanotubes Mediate Bacterial Communication [PDF]
Cell, 2011 Bacteria are known to communicate primarily via secreted extracellular factors. Here we identify a previously uncharacterized type of bacterial communication mediated by nanotubes that bridge neighboring cells. Using Bacillus subtilis as a model organism, we visualized transfer of cytoplasmic fluorescent molecules between adjacent cells.

Profiling of Oral Bacterial Communities [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, 2020 The profiling of bacterial communities by the sequencing of housekeeping genes such as that encoding the small subunit ribosomal RNA has revealed the extensive diversity of bacterial life on earth. Standard protocols have been developed and are widely used for this application, but individual habitats may require modification of methods.

Discordant transmission of bacteria and viruses from mothers to babies at birth [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND: The earliest microbial colonizers of the human gut can have life-long consequences for their hosts. Precisely how the neonatal gut bacterial microbiome and virome are initially populated is not well understood.

Membership and behavior of ultra-low-diversity pathogen communities present in the gut of humans during prolonged critical illness. [PDF]
, 2014 UnlabelledWe analyzed the 16S rRNA amplicon composition in fecal samples of selected patients during their prolonged stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) and observed the emergence of ultra-low-diversity communities (1 to 4 bacterial taxa) in 30% of the ...

Flow Cytometric Single-Cell Identification of Populations in Synthetic Bacterial Communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Bacterial cells can be characterized in terms of their cell properties using flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is able to deliver multiparametric measurements of up to 50,000 cells per second. However, there has not yet been a thorough survey concerning the

Community-acquired bacterial meningitis
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2017 Purpose of review Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency and is associated with a high disease burden. We reviewed recent progress in the management of patients with community-acquired bacterial meningitis. Recent findings The worldwide burden of disease of bacterial meningitis
