Consequences of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator mutations on inflammatory cells [PDF]

, 2016
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 ...

Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

Burkholderia pseudomallei musculoskeletal infections (melioidosis) in India

Indian Journal of Orthopaedics, 2010
Melioidosis, an infection due to gram negative Burkholderia pseudomallei, is an important cause of sepsis in east Asia especially Thailand and northern Australia. It usually causes abscesses in lung, liver, spleen, skeletal muscle and parotids especially in patients with diabetes, chronic renal failure and thalassemia.

Burkholderia pseudomallei infection, or melioidosis, and nephrotic syndrome [PDF]

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2002
In summary, we present a case of melioidosis that amply demonstrates its ability to cause severe illness, often in patients with pre-existing renal problems, and its propensity to cause further severe derangement in renal function. Usually this is in the form of oliguric acute renal failure presumably caused, in the main, by acute tubular necrosis ...

Imported melioidosis in the United Kingdom: Increasing incidence but continued under-reporting

Clinical Infection in Practice, 2020
Introduction: Melioidosis, caused by the environmentally-acquired bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, is increasingly recognised as a globally significant public health problem, although difficult to diagnose and manage.

Viable but Nonculturable State, a Survival Strategy for Salmonella in Aquatic Environments

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Transition of Salmonella from a culturable state to a viable but nonculturable state under various environmental stresses and current methods for detecting viable Salmonella in environmental samples. ABSTRACT In the relentless battle for survival, Salmonella has evolved mechanisms to withstand harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, fluctuating ...

Human Infection with Burkholderia thailandensis, China, 2013

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2017
Burkholderia thailandensis infection in humans is uncommon. We describe a case of B. thailandensis infection in a person in China, a location heretofore unknown for B. thailandensis. We identified the specific virulence factors of B. thailandensis, which may indicate a transition to a new virulent form.

Burkholderia cepacia genomovar III and Burkholderia vietnamiensis double infection in a cystic fibrosis child [PDF]

Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2002
Herein we report a case of a cystic fibrosis child who was simultaneously infected with Burkholderia cepacia genomovar III and Burkholderia vietnamiensis. After antimicrobial therapy only B. cepacia genomovar III persisted.

Insights into Cross-Kingdom Plant Pathogenic Bacteria [PDF]

, 2011
Plant and human pathogens have evolved disease factors to successfully exploit their respective hosts. Phytopathogens utilize specific determinants that help to breach reinforced cell walls and manipulate plant physiology to facilitate the disease ...
