Comparison of Illumina and Oxford Nanopore Technology for genome analysis of Francisella tularensis, Bacillus anthracis, and Brucella suis

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Bacterial epidemiology needs to understand the spread and dissemination of strains in a One Health context. This is important for highly pathogenic bacteria such as Bacillus anthracis, Brucella species, and Francisella tularensis. Whole genome

Imaging Active Infection in vivo Using D-Amino Acid Derived PET Radiotracers. [PDF]

, 2017
Occult bacterial infections represent a worldwide health problem. Differentiating active bacterial infection from sterile inflammation can be difficult using current imaging tools. Present clinically viable methodologies either detect morphologic changes

Phage therapy: An alternative to antibiotics in the age of multi-drug resistance. [PDF]

, 2017
The practice of phage therapy, which uses bacterial viruses (phages) to treat bacterial infections, has been around for almost a century. The universal decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics has generated renewed interest in revisiting this practice.

Lactobacillus paracasei feeding improves the control of secondary experimental meningococcal infection in flu-infected mice

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018
Background The use of probiotics to improve anti-microbial defence, such as for influenza infections, is increasingly recommended. However, no data are available on the effect of probiotics on flu-associated secondary bacterial infections.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus Senses Intracellular K⁺ To Translocate Type III Secretion System 2 Effectors Effectively

mBio, 2018
Many Gram-negative bacterial symbionts and pathogens employ a type III secretion system (T3SS) to live in contact with eukaryotic cells. Because T3SSs inject bacterial proteins (effectors) directly into host cells, the switching of secretory substrates ...
