In vivo and In vitro Interactions between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus spp. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The significance of polymicrobial infections is increasingly being recognized especially in a biofilm context wherein multiple bacterial species—including both potential pathogens and members of the commensal flora—communicate, cooperate, and compete ...

Detection of Fungal Translocation in Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder Using a Real‐Time PCR Assay

open access: yesAPMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota plays a key role in triggering various diseases. However, translocation studies focus on bacteria, neglecting fungal elements, while fungi seem also involved in triggering various diseases. Aim of this study was to assess whether fungal elements were able to translocate in patients with AUD (alcohol use disorder) and to verify ...

Caspase-1-driven neutrophil pyroptosis and its role in host susceptibility to Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2022
Multiple regulated neutrophil cell death programs contribute to host defense against infections. However, despite expressing all necessary inflammasome components, neutrophils are thought to be generally defective in Caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis.

Equine botulism

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 333-347, March 2026.
Abstract Botulism is a severe and often fatal disease in equine patients worldwide. Clostridium botulinum is a ubiquitous soil organism which produces a potent neurotoxin resulting in neuromuscular blockade and flaccid paralysis in affected animals. Definitive diagnosis is often impractical or impossible, leading to diagnosis and treatment based on ...

A Multiplex Assay for Detection of Staphylococcal and Streptococcal Exotoxins. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Staphylococcal and streptococcal exotoxins, also known as superantigens, mediate a range of diseases including toxic shock syndrome, and they exacerbate skin, pulmonary and systemic infections caused by these organisms.

Novel anti-virulence compounds disrupt exotoxin expression in MRSA

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
Hemolysins are lytic exotoxins expressed in most strains of S. aureus, but hemolytic activity varies between strains. We have previously reported several novel anti-virulence compounds that disrupt the S.

The health significance of heterotrophic bacteria in drinking water [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Tap water is not sterile; it contains organisms which grow in water distribution systems or inside taps and their fittings. The absence of known pathogenic bacteria is assured by the absence of the indicator organisms but concerns have been raised in the

Requirement of Simultaneous Assessment of Crystal- and Supernatant-Related Entomotoxic Activities of Bacillus thuringiensis Strains for Biocontrol-Product Development

open access: yesToxins, 2014
Bioinsecticides with lower concentrations of endospores/crystals and without loss of efficiency are economically advantageous for pest biocontrol. In addition to Cry proteins, other Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins in culture supernatants (SN) have ...
