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

open access: yes, 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.

Aquaculture Bacterial Pathogens

open access: yesRecent Advances in Biology and Medicine, 2023
A significant part of Indian food production involves fisheries and aquaculture, which contribute to agricultural exports and employ around fourteen million people. Since independence, the nation has consistently increased fish production as a result of its vast aquatic resources. A total of 6.3 percent of world fish production comes from the industry,

Hepcidin and Host Defense against Infectious Diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Hepcidin is the master regulator of iron homeostasis in vertebrates. The synthesis of hepcidin is induced by systemic iron levels and by inflammatory stimuli.

Verified and potential pathogens of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Several species of phytoseiid mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae), including species of the genera Amblyseius, Galendromus, Metaseiulus, Neoseiulus, Phytoseiulus and Typhlodromus, are currently reared for biological control of various crop pests and/or as model ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Microevolution and genomic epidemiology of the diphtheria-causing zoonotic pathogen Corynebacterium ulcerans

open access: yesNature Communications
Corynebacterium ulcerans is an emerging zoonotic pathogen which causes diphtheria-like infections. Although C. ulcerans is found in multiple domestic and wild animal species, most human cases are linked with pets.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Morphogenetic penicillin-binding proteins control virulence-associated type III secretion systems in Salmonella

open access: yesInfection and Immunity
Type III protein secretion systems (T3SSs) function as multiprotein devices that span the envelope of Gram-negative bacteria using the peptidoglycan (PG) layer as scaffold.

Can the Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli colonize the gut of Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum)? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Ticks are obligate blood feeding ectoparasites and vectors of several mammalian pathogens (Williams-Newkirk et al, 2014). In addition to pathogens they also carry a bacterial community with commensal and symbiotic relationships (Bonnet et al, 2017 ...
