PCR for the detection of pathogens in neonatal early onset sepsis. [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: A large proportion of neonates are treated for presumed bacterial sepsis with broad spectrum antibiotics even though their blood cultures subsequently show no growth. This study aimed to investigate PCR-based methods to identify pathogens not

A degenerate PCR-based strategy as a means of identifying homologues of aminoglycoside and ß-lactam resistance genes in the gut microbiota [PDF]

, 2014
peer-reviewedBackground: The potential for the human gut microbiota to serve as a reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes has been the subject of recent discussion. However, this has yet to be investigated using a rapid PCR-based approach.

Using groEL as the target for identification of Enterococcus faecium clades and 7 clinically relevant Enterococcus species

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2019
Background/Purpose: Accurate identification is important for effective treatment because Enterococcus species have talents to cope with various antibiotics either by intrinsic resistance or by acquisition of mobile genetic elements.

Phage inducible islands in the gram-positive cocci [PDF]

, 2016
The SaPIs are a cohesive subfamily of extremely common phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) that reside quiescently at specific att sites in the staphylococcal chromosome and are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate.

Enterococcus faecium Regulates Honey Bee Developmental Genes [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Honey bees provide essential pollination services to the terrestrial ecosystem and produce important agricultural products. As a beneficial lactic acid bacterium, Enterococcus faecium is often supplied as a probiotic for honey bees and other animals. However, the underlying mechanisms of its actions and possible safety risks are not well understood. We

Membership and behavior of ultra-low-diversity pathogen communities present in the gut of humans during prolonged critical illness. [PDF]

, 2014
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 ...
