Circulating bacterial-derived DNA fragment level is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease in peritoneal dialysis patients. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Circulating bacterial DNA fragment is related to systemic inflammatory state in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We hypothesize that plasma bacterial DNA level predicts cardiovascular events in new PD patients.We measured plasma bacterial DNA level in ...

The Influence of DNA Extraction and Lipid Removal on Human Milk Bacterial Profiles
Methods and Protocols, 2020 Culture-independent molecular techniques have advanced the characterization of environmental and human samples including the human milk (HM) bacteriome. However, extraction of high-quality genomic DNA that is representative of the bacterial population in

Bacterial DNA is present in the fetal intestine and overlaps with that in the placenta in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Bacterial DNA has been reported in the placenta and amniotic fluid by several independent groups of investigators. However, it's taxonomic overlap with fetal and maternal bacterial DNA in different sites has been poorly characterized. Here, we determined

The antimicrobial polymer PHMB enters cells and selectively condenses bacterial chromosomes [PDF]
, 2016 To combat infection and antimicrobial resistance, it is helpful to elucidate drug mechanism(s) of action. Here we examined how the widely used antimicrobial polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) kills bacteria selectively over host cells.

Optimization of DNA extraction from human urinary samples for mycobiome community profiling. [PDF]
, 2019 IntroductionRecent data suggest the urinary tract hosts a microbial community of varying composition, even in the absence of infection. Culture-independent methodologies, such as next-generation sequencing of conserved ribosomal DNA sequences, provide an

On the nucleotide distribution in bacterial DNA sequences [PDF]
, 2010 It is probable that the distributional structure of DNA sequences arises from the accumulation of many successive stochastic events such as nucleotide deletions, insertions, substitutions and elongations [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7].

Choice of DNA extraction method affects detection of bacterial taxa from retail chicken breast
BMC Microbiology, 2022 Background Sequence-based methods for the detection of bacteria such as 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and metagenomics can provide a comprehensive view of the bacterial microbiome of food.
