Defining bacterial species in the genomic era : insights from the genus Acinetobacter [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Microbial taxonomy remains a conservative discipline, relying on phenotypic information derived from growth in pure culture and techniques that are time-consuming and difficult to standardize, particularly when compared to the ease of modern

Bacterial Extracellular DNA Promotes β-Amyloid Aggregation

Microorganisms, 2021
Alzheimer’s disease is associated with prion-like aggregation of the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide and the subsequent accumulation of misfolded neurotoxic aggregates in the brain.

Prokaryotic ParA–ParB–parS system links bacterial chromosome segregation with the cell cycle [PDF]

, 2012
While the essential role of episomal par loci in plasmid DNA partitioning has long been appreciated, the function of chromosomally encoded par loci is less clear. The chromosomal parA–parB genes are conserved throughout the bacterial kingdom and encode

DNA vaccines for bacterial infections

Immunology & Cell Biology, 1997
DNA vaccines are an exciting development in vaccine technology which may have a special role in preventing viral infections and as ‘theracines’ for cancer. Their use in preventing bacterial infections has, by comparison, been less well documented.

Hot-spot consensus of fluoroquinolone-mediated DNA cleavage by gram-negative and gram-positive type II DNA topoisomerases [PDF]

, 2007
Bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV are selective targets of fluoroquinolones. Topoisomerase IV versus gyrase and Gram-positive versus Gram-negative behavior was studied based on the different recognition of DNA sequences by topoisomerase ...

Colony-stimulating factor-1 suppresses responses to CpG DNA and expression of toll-like receptor 9 but enhances responses to lipopolysaccharide in murine macrophages

, 2002
During bacterial infections, the balance between resolution of infection and development of sepsis is dependent upon the macrophage response to bacterial products.

Comparison of Bacterial DNA Profiles in Mid-Trimester Amniotic Fluid Samples From Preterm and Term Deliveries

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Infection and inflammation are well recognized causes of spontaneous preterm delivery (PTD) (<37 gestational weeks) and adverse infant outcomes. To date, there has been very little investigation into bacterial communities in amniotic fluid using next ...

An efficient strategy for broad-range detection of low abundance bacteria without DNA decontamination of PCR reagents. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Bacterial DNA contamination in PCR reagents has been a long standing problem that hampers the adoption of broad-range PCR in clinical and applied microbiology, particularly in detection of low abundance bacteria.
