Digestate from small‐scale biogas plants in central Vietnam produced under mesophilic conditions: friend or foe for local farmers?

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the suitability of digestate from small mesophilic biogas plants in central Vietnam for agricultural application. Digestate samples were collected from 85 farms and analyzed for microbial contamination and elemental composition.

Sepsis and survival in critically ill calves: Risk factors and antimicrobial use

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 374-389, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Sepsis is a life‐threatening disease for which critically important antimicrobials (CIA) frequently are used. Diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines for sepsis and critically ill calves are largely lacking. Objectives Identify factors associated with mortality in critically ill calves and describe bacteria obtained from blood ...

South African Propolis: Anti‐Helicobacter pylori Activity, Chemistry, and Toxicity

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Propolis, a resin‐like substance produced by bees, has previously shown antimicrobial activity against the ulcer‐causing gut pathogen Helicobacter pylori. South African propolis, however, was yet to be investigated. This study aimed to investigate a comprehensive range of South African propolis for its antimicrobial activity against H.

Association between asymptomatic infections and linear growth in 18–24‐month‐old Malawian children

Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Inadequate diet and frequent symptomatic infections are considered major causes of growth stunting in low‐income countries, but interventions targeting these risk factors have achieved limited success. Asymptomatic infections are common in apparently healthy children in rural Malawi and are associated with reduced linear growth, mainly through systemic

Disruption of salt bridge interactions in the inter‐domain cleft of the tubulin‐like protein FtsZ of Escherichia coli makes cells sensitive to the cell division inhibitor PC190723

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
Abstract FtsZ forms a ring‐like assembly at the site of division in bacteria. It is the first protein involved in the formation of the divisome complex to split the cell into two halves, indicating its importance in bacterial cell division. FtsZ is an attractive target for developing new anti‐microbial drugs to overcome the challenges of antibiotic ...

FlrA‐independent production of flagellar proteins is required for proper flagellation in Shewanella putrefaciens

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 670-682, December 2022., 2022
Shewanella putrefaciens uses a simplified regulatory cascade for polar flagellar synthesis, which consists of two tiers upon induction of the flagellar master regulator FlrA. The FlrA‐independent production of early flagellar components and regulators (‘tier zero’) is required for proper flagellar counting.

Efficacy of peroxy acetic acid in reducing Salmonella and Campylobacter spp. populations on chicken breast fillets

Poultry Science, 2020
Poultry processors use antimicrobials to reduce the risk of pathogens on poultry and poultry products. The efficacy of selective and nonselective plating media to enumerate injured Salmonella (selective media—brilliant green sulfa agar and Petrifilm ...

Wind Speed and Landscape Context Mediate Campylobacter Risk among Poultry Reared in Open Environments

Animals, 2023
Foodborne pathogens cause over 9 million illnesses in the United States each year, and Campylobacter from chickens is the largest contributor. Rearing poultry outdoors without the use of antibiotics is becoming an increasingly popular style of farming ...

Cortactin: A universal host cytoskeletal target of Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacterial pathogens

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 623-636, December 2022., 2022
In host‐pathogen interactions, actin‐cytoskeletal dynamics play a crucial role in successful adherence, invasion, and intracellular motility by many intruding microbes. To achieve this goal, bacterial pathogens target major host regulators, one of which is the key actin‐binding protein and class‐II actin nucleation‐promoting factor cortactin.
