Genome-Wide Identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Genes Important for Desiccation Tolerance on Inanimate Surfaces

mSystems, 2022
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen prevalent in the environment and in health care settings. Transmission in the health care setting occurs through human-human interactions and/or contact with contaminated surfaces.

Protein Aggregation is Associated with Acinetobacter baumannii Desiccation Tolerance

Microorganisms, 2020
Desiccation tolerance has been implicated as an important characteristic that potentiates the spread of the bacterial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii on dry surfaces. Here we explore several factors influencing desiccation survival of A. baumannii.

Identification of a master transcription factor and a regulatory mechanism for desiccation tolerance in the anhydrobiotic cell line Pv11.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Water is essential for living organisms. Terrestrial organisms are incessantly exposed to the stress of losing water, desiccation stress. Avoiding the mortality caused by desiccation stress, many organisms acquired molecular mechanisms to tolerate ...

Chemotaxis and Shorter O-Antigen Chain Length Contribute to the Strong Desiccation Tolerance of a Food-Isolated Cronobacter sakazakii Strain

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Cronobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogen causing a lethality rate as high as 80% in infants. Desiccation tolerance ensures its survival in powdered infant formula (PIF) and contributes to the increased exposure to neonates, resulting in ...

Characterization of the Desiccation Tolerance of Cronobacter sakazakii Strains

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Strong desiccation tolerance is an outstanding feature of Cronobacter sakazakii and can enable the bacterium to survive in a dry food matrix (such as milk powder) for a long time.

Renal neuroendocrine control of desiccation and cold tolerance by Drosophila suzukii [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Neuropeptides are central to the regulation of physiological, and behavioural processes in insects, directly impacting cold and desiccation survival.

Effect of Nitrogen Starvation on Desiccation Tolerance of Arctic Microcoleus Strains (Cyanobacteria)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Although desiccation tolerance of Microcoleus species is a well-known phenomenon, there is very little information about their limits of desiccation tolerance in terms of cellular water content, the survival rate of their cells, and the environmental ...

Temporal profiling of the heat-stable proteome during late maturation of Medicago truncatula seeds identifies a restricted subset of late embryogenesis abundant proteins associated with longevity [PDF]

, 2012
Developing seeds accumulate late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins, a family of intrinsically disordered and hydrophilic proteins that confer cellular protection upon stress. Many different LEA proteins exist in seeds, but their relative contribution

More oxygen during development enhanced flight performance but not thermal tolerance of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]

, 2017
High temperatures can stress animals by raising the oxygen demand above the oxygen supply. Consequently, animals under hypoxia could be more sensitive to heating than those exposed to normoxia.

Desiccation tolerance in resurrection plants: new insights from transcriptome, proteome and metabolome analysis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Most higher plants are unable to survive desiccation to an air-dried state. An exception is a small group of vascular angiosperm plants, termed resurrection plants. They have evolved unique mechanisms of desiccation tolerance and thus can tolerate severe
