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.

Transferrin-polycation conjugates as carriers for DNA uptake into cells. [PDF]
, 1990 We have developed a high-efficiency nucleic acid delivery system that uses receptor-mediated endocytosis to carry DNA macromolecules into cells. We accomplished this by conjugating the iron-transport protein transferrin to polycations that bind nucleic ...

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.

Detection of airborne Campylobacter with three bioaerosol samplers for alarming bacteria transmission in broilers. [PDF]
, 2011 In an airborne transmission experiment, Campylobacter in the air was sampled by three types of bioaerosol samplers (all-glass impinger AGI-30, Andersen six-stage impactor, and OMNI-3000) in four broiler rooms.

Bacterial DNA topology and infectious disease [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2008 The gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli and its close relative Salmonella enterica have made important contributions historically to our understanding of how bacteria control DNA supercoiling and of how supercoiling influences gene expression and vice versa.

Dynamics of Bacteriophage Genome Ejection In Vitro and In Vivo
, 2010 Bacteriophages, phages for short, are viruses of bacteria. The majority of phages contain a double-stranded DNA genome packaged in a capsid at a density of ~500 mg/ml. This high density requires substantial compression of the normal B form helix, leading
