Symbiotic bacteria participate in pectinolytic metabolism to enhance larval growth in Zeugodacus cucurbitae

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
The larval food consumption, growth, and pectinase activity without symbiotic bacteria are suppressed in Zeugodacus cucurbitae. We isolated four strains of Klebsiella spp. that can participate in pectinolytic metabolism from feeding wounds. Reintroducing them to sterile eggs breaks the developmental constraints caused by the lack of symbiotic bacteria.

Enterobacter sp. AA26 gut symbiont as a protein source for Mediterranean fruit fly mass-rearing and sterile insect technique applications

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2019
Insect species have established sophisticated symbiotic associations with diverse groups of microorganisms including bacteria which have been shown to affect several aspects of their biology, physiology, ecology and evolution. In addition, recent studies

Distribution and Efficiency of Hydrocarbon-Oxidizing Bacteria in a Freshwater Reservoir [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
Hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria were identified from three stations on DeGray Reservoir, Arkansas. The organisms were primarily gram-negative rods representing 9 taxa and 37 biotypes Pseudomonas spp. were the most common isolates.

From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

Vaginal infection by Enterobacter sakazakii [PDF]

open access: yesSexually Transmitted Infections, 2002
In August 2001, a 26 year old woman seen at our outpatient clinic in Budapest complained of vulvar pruritus and vaginal discharge in the preceding 2 weeks. The only risk factor she admitted was that she had bathed in the resort lake Balaton a few times a week before the onset of symptoms, when the water was unusually warm (26–28°C).

Vancomycin‐Modified DNA Origami Nanostructures for Targeting Bacterial Pathogens

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
Applications of DNA origami nanostructures in pathogen detection and antimicrobial drug delivery require their efficient and robust binding to bacterial cells. Here, the cell wall‐binding glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin is conjugated to selected staple strands and displayed in multivalent arrangements on the DNA origami surface to facilitate the ...

Occurrence of human pathogenic bacteria and their antibiotic resistance in the gut of wild and captive sloth bears

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
A growing worldwide problem of antibiotic resistance (AR) has significant effects on both human and animal health. The present study compared the presence of human pathogens in wild and captive sloth bear populations, and their resistance to antibiotics.

Genetic Diversity and Functional Analysis of Sigma Factors in Resourced From Various Niche

open access: yesEvolutionary Bioinformatics, 2018
Sigma factors are bacterial transcription factors that bind the core RNA polymerase and direct transcription initiation at a specific promoter site. These specialized sigma factors bind the promoters of genes appropriate to the environmental conditions ...
