Paenibacillus melissococcoides sp. nov., isolated from a honey bee colony affected by European foulbrood disease

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2023
A novel, facultatively anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, motile, endospore-forming bacterium of the genus Paenibacillus , designated strain 2.1T, was isolated from a colony of Apis mellifera affected by European foulbrood disease in Switzerland. The rod-shaped cells of

European Foulbrood in stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) in Brazil: Old disease, renewed threat

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2020
Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) are a group of bees with vestigial stings showing a high level of social organization. They are important pollinators in tropical and subtropical regions, and, in the last decades, stingless beekeeping has increased rapidly in Brazil.

The Curious Case of Achromobacter eurydice, a Gram-Variable Pleomorphic Bacterium Associated with European Foulbrood Disease in Honeybees

open access: yesMicrobial Ecology, 2017
Honeybees are prone to parasite and pathogen infestations/infections due to their social colony life. Bacterial pathogens in particular lead to destructive infections of the brood. European foulbrood is caused by the bacterium Melissococcus plutonius in combination with several other Gram-positive bacteria (Achromobacter eurydice, Bacillus pumilus ...

Bioactive metabolites from autochthonous lactic acid bacteria inhibit the growth of Melissococcus plutonius, causal agent of European foulbrood disease in honey bees

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2023
AbstractEuropean foulbrood (EFB), a serious disease affecting honey bee larvae, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), is caused by the Gram‐positive bacterium Melissococcus plutonius corrig. (ex White) Bailey & Collins. In this in‐vitro study, we evaluated the inhibitory potential of microbial metabolites produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB ...

Antimicrobial activity of tea tree oil nanoparticles against American and European foulbrood diseases agents

Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology, 2014
Abstract Paenibacillus larvae and Melissococcus plutonius are the primary bacterial pathogens of honeybees and the causative agents of American and European foulbrood disease (AFB and EFB) respectively. Such diseases have been gaining importance since there are few therapeutic options beyond the reporting of microorganisms resistant to conventional ...
