Biofilm Formation by Drug Resistant Enterococci Isolates Obtained from Chronic Periodontitis Patients [PDF]
Introduction: Enterococci are an important cause of opportunistic nosocomial infections and several multidrug resistant strains have emerged. The severity of periodontal diseases is managed by reduction in the pathogenic bacteria.

Membership and behavior of ultra-low-diversity pathogen communities present in the gut of humans during prolonged critical illness. [PDF]
UnlabelledWe analyzed the 16S rRNA amplicon composition in fecal samples of selected patients during their prolonged stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) and observed the emergence of ultra-low-diversity communities (1 to 4 bacterial taxa) in 30% of the ...

Plasmid-borne high-level resistance to gentamicin in Enterococcus hirae, Enterococcus avium, and Enterococcus raffinosus [PDF]
Enterococcus hirae, E. avium, and E. raffinosus isolated in Romania, Tunisia, and Portugal harbored plasmids pICC8, pIP1700, and pIP1701, respectively, encoding resistance to high levels of gentamicin (Gmr). The Gmr marker was carried on pIP1700 by a Tn4001-like element and on pICC8 and pIP1701 by Tn4001-truncated structures. pICC8 carried, in addition

ABSTRACT Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated and sustained by plaque microorganisms and host immune response, remains an intractable oral disease and a leading cause of tooth loss worldwide. Traditional mechanical debridement and adjunctive antibiotic or antiseptic therapy often shows limited efficacy due to the complex anatomical ...

Mechanisms and consequences of gut commensal translocation in chronic diseases
Humans and other mammalian hosts have evolved mechanisms to control the bacteria colonizing their mucosal barriers to prevent invasion. While the breach of barriers by bacteria typically leads to overt infection, increasing evidence supports a role for ...

Enzymatic DNA Reaction Networks for Orchestrating Stimuli‐Dependent Temporal Molecular Pulse
We present an enzymatic DNA reaction network (EDRN) that encodes nucleic‐acid targets in time, converting inputs into a universal strand and then into programmable transient fluorescence pulses. With time‐color multiplexing, EDRN enables single‐tube high‐plex nucleic acid detection and shows strong agreement with clinical sequencing across 32 specimens.
