The antimicrobial polymer PHMB enters cells and selectively condenses bacterial chromosomes [PDF]

, 2016
To combat infection and antimicrobial resistance, it is helpful to elucidate drug mechanism(s) of action. Here we examined how the widely used antimicrobial polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) kills bacteria selectively over host cells.

Presence of multiple bacterial markers in clinical samples might be useful for presumptive diagnosis of infection in cirrhotic patients with culture-negative reports [PDF]

, 2016
Bacterial infections in cirrhotic patients with ascites are associated with a severe prognosis and an increased risk of death. The microbiological standard tests for the diagnosis of suspected infection, based on culture test of blood and ascitic fluid ...

Optimization of DNA extraction from human urinary samples for mycobiome community profiling. [PDF]

, 2019
IntroductionRecent data suggest the urinary tract hosts a microbial community of varying composition, even in the absence of infection. Culture-independent methodologies, such as next-generation sequencing of conserved ribosomal DNA sequences, provide an

Remarkable stability of an instability-prone lentiviral vector plasmid in Escherichia coli Stbl3 [PDF]

, 2012
Large-scale production of plasmid DNA to prepare therapeutic gene vectors or DNA-based vaccines requires a suitable bacterial host, which can stably maintain the plasmid DNA during industrial cultivation.

On the nucleotide distribution in bacterial DNA sequences [PDF]

, 2010
It is probable that the distributional structure of DNA sequences arises from the accumulation of many successive stochastic events such as nucleotide deletions, insertions, substitutions and elongations [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7].
