Enterobacter Species: Opportunistic Human and Plant Pathogens With Plant‐Beneficial Traits
The pathogen profile on Enterobacter species synthesises current knowledge on host range, disease symptoms, plant‐beneficial traits and compares genomic features within the genus. ABSTRACT Enterobacter species occur across diverse habitats and are best known for causing opportunistic and nosocomial infections in humans.

Polysaccharides and virulence of Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, an infectious disease of humans and animals. Gene clusters which encode capsular polysaccharide (type I O-PS) and LPS (type II O-PS), both of which play roles in virulence, have previously been identified.

Identification and characterisation of toxin-antitoxin systems (TA) in Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
The aim of this study was to identify and characterise type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the human disease melioidosis. 8 putative TA systems were identified within the genome of B. pseudomallei

Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) were produced against two B. pseudomallei high-purified membrane proteins with Mr 29 kDa (p29) and 45 kDa (p45). Monoclonal antibodies from culture supernatant fluids of 4F2 and 1G11 clones showed specific interaction with ...

Capsule influences the deposition of critical complement C3 levels required for the killing of Burkholderia pseudomallei via NADPH-oxidase induction by human neutrophils. [PDF]
Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis and is a major mediator of sepsis in its endemic areas. Because of the low LD(50) via aerosols and resistance to multiple antibiotics, it is considered a Tier 1 select agent by the CDC and ...

ABSTRACT Amoebiasis, a gastrointestinal infection caused by Entamoeba histolytica, is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide among parasitic infections with over 100,000 deaths annually. Apart from dysentery, it can manifest as extraintestinal disease, most commonly liver abscess, and rarely pulmonary, cardiac, and brain involvement.

Development of ceftazidime resistance in an acute Burkholderia pseudomallei infection. [PDF]
Burkholderia pseudomallei, a bacterium that causes the disease melioidosis, is intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics. First-line antibiotic therapy for treating melioidosis is usually the synthetic β-lactam, ceftazidime (CAZ), as almost all B ...

Double‐Duty Drugs: Repositioning Antipsychotics to Combat Bacterial Infections
Antipsychotics can exert antibacterial effects via several mechanisms: (1, 2) Due to their amphiphilic and cationic characteristics, antipsychotics can negatively affect the integrity of the plasma membrane by disrupting its structure and electrochemical potential.
