Adaptive laboratory evolution of a genome-reduced Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Synthetic biology aims to design and construct bacterial genomes harboring the minimum number of genes required for self-replicable life. However, the genome-reduced bacteria often show impaired growth under laboratory conditions that cannot be ...

Local host response following an intramammary challenge with Staphylococcus fleurettii and different strains of Staphylococcus chromogenes in dairy heifers [PDF]
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are a common cause of subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle. The CNS inhabit various ecological habitats, ranging between the environment and the host.

A keystone Methylobacterium strain in biofilm formation in drinking water [PDF]
The structure of biofilms in drinking water systems is influenced by the interplay between biological and physical processes. Bacterial aggregates in bulk fluid are important in seeding biofilm formation on surfaces.

Influence of ethylene oxide gas treatment on the in vitro degradation behavior of dermal sheep collagen [PDF]
The influence of ethylene oxide gas treatment on the in vitro degradation behavior of noncrosslinked, glutaraldehyde crosslinked or hexamethylene diisocyanate crosslinked dermal sheep collagen (DSC) using bacterial collagenase is described.

In vivo Neutralization of Pro-inflammatory Cytokines During Secondary Streptococcus pneumoniae Infection Post Influenza A Virus Infection [PDF]
An overt pro-inflammatory immune response is a key factor contributing to lethal pneumococcal infection in an influenza pre-infected host and represents a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Effect of efflux pump inhibition on Pseudomonas aeruginosa transcriptome and virulence [PDF]
Efflux pumps of the resistance-nodulation-cell-division (RND) family increase antibiotic resistance in many bacterial pathogens, representing candidate targets for the development of antibiotic adjuvants.

A predator-prey interaction between a marine Pseudoalteromonas sp. and Gram-positive bacteria [PDF]
Predator-prey interactions play important roles in the cycling of marine organic matter. Here we show that a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from marine sediments (Pseudoalteromonas sp.

EFFECT OF STABLE EXPRESSION OF IBER ON BIOFILM FORMATION OF ESCHERICHIA COLI K1 STRAIN
Intro: It has been confirmed that ibeR is a stable regulatory gene of Escherichia coli that participates in the regulation of stress adaptability and virulence gene expression in the stable phase of pathogenic bacteria.

Gut bacteria and necrotizing enterocolitis: cause or effect? [PDF]
Development of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is considered to be dependent on the bacterial colonisation of the gut. With little concordance between published data and a recent study failing to detect a common strain in infants with NEC, more questions

Global regulator DksA modulates virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii
DksA with (p)ppGpp regulates a wide range of gene transcriptions during the stringent response. The aim of this study was to identify a DksA ortholog in Acinetobacter baumannii and clarify the roles of DksA in bacterial physiology and virulence.
