Foodborne Microbial Communities as Potential Reservoirs of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes for Pathogens: A Critical Review of the Recent Literature

Microorganisms, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global and increasing threat to human health. Several genetic determinants of AMR are found in environmental reservoirs, including bacteria naturally associated with widely consumed fermented foods.

Crystal structure of UBA2ufd-Ubc9: insights into E1-E2 interactions in sumo pathways [PDF]

, 2010
Canonical ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs) such as ubiquitin, Sumo, NEDD8, and ISG15 are ligated to targets by E1-E2-E3 multienzyme cascades. The Sumo cascade, conserved among all eukaryotes, regulates numerous biological processes including protein ...

Reducing Antigenicity and Improving Antioxidant Capacity of β-Lactoglobulin through Covalent Interaction with Six Flavonoids

Foods, 2023
β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) is a pivotal nutritional and functional protein. However, its application is limited by its antigenicity and susceptibility to oxidation.

Nonlinear degenerate four-wave mixing in birefringent optical fibers: phase conjugation and spatial instabilities [PDF]

, 1988
We investigate the phase-conjugated signal reflectivity and conjugation fidelity in the degenerate four-wave mixing process in a monomode birefringent optical fiber, in the nonlinear (depleted pumps) regime.

Variation on a theme; an overview of the Tn916 / Tn1545 family of mobile genetic elements in the oral and nasopharyngeal streptococci.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
The oral and nasopharyngeal streptococci are a major part of the normal microbiota in humans. Most human associated streptococci are considered commensals however a small number of them are pathogenic, causing a wide range of diseases including oral ...
