Evaluation of the prevalence of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis and the distribution bft gene subtypes in patients with diarrhea [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF) in the patients with diarrhea in our region and to assess the association between diarrhea and bft gene subtypes. The presence of ETBF and bft gene subtypes were investigated in 200 stool samples from patients with diarrhea, diagnosed as gastroenteritis,

Characterization ofbftGenes among EnterotoxigenicBacteroides fragilisIsolates from Extraintestinal Specimens at a University Hospital in Korea [PDF]
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF)는 병독소 인자로 알려진 장독소를 생성하는 균종이다. B. fragilis enterotoxin (BFT)은 bft- 1, bft- 2 및 bft- 3 세 개의 유전자 아형들이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구에서는 임상 검체에서 분리된 B. fragilis에서 bft 유전자의 유무와 BFT 음성 및 양성 균주의 항균제 내성을 조사하였다. 국내의 한 대학병원에서 8년간(2006∼2013년) 장외 검체에서 분리된 B. fragilis는 총 537주이었다. 다중중합연쇄반응으로 시험하여 bft유전자 아형을 확인하였다.

Determination of bft Gene Subtypes in Bacteroides fragilis Clinical Isolates [PDF]
ABSTRACT A rapid multiplex PCR approach was developed to detect the bft gene subtypes in Bacteroides fragilis clinical isolates. This technique could be used to look at the epidemiology of enterotoxigenic strains of B.

SummaryPhosphatidylethanolamine‐binding protein (PEBP) genes regulate flowering and architecture in many plant species. Here, we study kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis, Ac) PEBP genes with homology to BROTHER OF FT AND TFL1 (BFT). CRISPR‐Cas9 was used to target AcBFT genes in wild‐type and fast‐flowering kiwifruit backgrounds.

Microbial communities, mainly those with probiotic characteristics, positively affect the culture of diverse organisms, including shrimp. In this study, three diets containing different types of probiotics were evaluated on the composition and diversity of the microbial community in the water column and gut of Litopenaeus vannamei, as well as on the ...

Three FT and multiple CEN and BFT genes regulate maturity, flowering, and vegetative phenology in kiwifruit [PDF]
Kiwifruit is a woody perennial horticultural crop, characterized by excessive vegetative vigor, prolonged juvenility, and low productivity. To understand the molecular factors controlling flowering and winter dormancy, here we identify and characterize the kiwifruit PEBP (phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein) gene family.

Foundations of Dynamic BFT [PDF]
This paper studies dynamic BFT, where replicas can join and leave the system dynamically, a primitive that is nowadays increasingly needed. We provide a formal treatment for dynamic BFT protocols, endowing them with a flexible syntax and various security
