The Study of Microbial Physiology Under Microoxic Conditions Is Critical but Neglected
Microbial physiology is mainly studied under aerobic or anaerobic/anoxic conditions, neglecting microbial behaviours in diverse microoxic conditions. The current article revisits the definition of microoxia in light of recent developments in oxygen‐sensing technology and emphasises the need to understand microbial physiology and growth behaviours of ...

Genome signatures, self-organizing maps and higher order phylogenies: a parametric analysis [PDF]
Genome signatures are data vectors derived from the compositional statistics of DNA. The self-organizing map (SOM) is a neural network method for the conceptualisation of relationships within complex data, such as genome signatures.

A Burkholderia cenocepacia infection usually leads to reduced survival and fatal cepacia syndrome in cystic fibrosis patients. The identification of B. cenocepacia essential genes for in vivo survival is key to designing new anti-infectives therapies. We

Quantification of Type VI secretion system activity in macrophages infected with Burkholderia cenocepacia [PDF]
The Gram-negative bacterial type VI Secretion System (T6SS) delivers toxins to kill orinhibit the growth of susceptible bacteria, while others target eukaryotic cells. Deletionof atsR, a negative regulator of virulence factors in B.

Burkholderia cenocepaciainfection [PDF]
Phagocytosis is an important component of innate immunity that contributes to the eradication of infectious microorganisms; however, successful bacterial pathogens often evade different aspects of host immune responses. A common bacterial evasion strategy entails the production of toxins and/or effectors that disrupt normal host cell processes and ...

Development and evaluation of an in-house database for quick identification of Burkholderia contaminans by MALDI-TOF MS [PDF]
La espectrometría de masas (EM) (matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight) MALDI-TOF demostró ser una herramienta robusta para la identificación de numerosos grupos taxonómicos. No obstante, presenta limitaciones.

Consequences of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator mutations on inflammatory cells [PDF]
Recent studies in cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane regulator (CFTR) mutations and function have shed light on its involvement in disease progression. The extent of cell and tissue distribution of CFTR facilitates systemic dysfunction of ion transport ...
