Characterization of the adherence of Clostridium difficile spores: The integrity of the outermost layer affects adherence properties of spores of the epidemic strain R20291 to components of the intestinal mucosa. [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016
Clostridium difficile is the causative agent of the most frequently reported nosocomial diarrhea worldwide. The high incidence of recurrent infection is the main clinical challenge of C. difficile infections (CDI). Formation of C. difficile spores of the

Toxicity study of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein expressed on Bacillus subtilis spores [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is the primary antigen used in most COVID-19 vaccines. To improve protection, especially at mucosal surfaces, a robust and safe delivery system capable of inducing both systemic and mucosal immunity is needed ...

Revisiting bacterial spore germination in the presence of peptidoglycan fragments [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology
Bacterial spores of Bacillus species are metabolically inert cell types formed in response to nutrient starvation. Spores must undergo the process of germination to resume vegetative growth.

Oral vaccination of fish against vibriosis using spore-display technology

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Oral vaccines are highly demanded by the aquaculture sector, to allow mass delivery of antigens without using the expensive and labor-intensive injectable vaccines. These later require individual handling of fish, provoking stress-related mortalities.One

Research Progress on Formation, Germination and Control Methods of Bacterial Spores

Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2023
Bacterial spores are extremely resistant to various processing techniques attributable to its special structure and physiological processes, and often lead to the spoilage of thermally sterilized food. Therefore, it is of great significance to inactivate

Comparison of Synergistic Effect of Nisin and Monolaurin on the Inactivation of Three Heat Resistant Spores Studied by Design of Experiments in Milk

Journal of Food Quality, 2021
Spore forming bacteria are special problems for the dairy industry. Heat treatments are insufficient to kill the spores. This is a continuously increasing problem for the industry, but we should be able to control it. In this context, we investigated the

Bacterial Spores as Vaccine Vehicles [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2003
ABSTRACT For the first time, bacterial spores have been evaluated as vaccine vehicles. Bacillus subtilis spores displaying the tetanus toxin fragment C (TTFC) antigen were used for oral and intranasal immunization and were shown to generate mucosal and systemic responses in a murine model.
