Microbiology Spectrum, 2016 ABSTRACTIn 2014, WHO reported approximately 9.6 million new cases of tuberculosis (TB) in the world, more than half of which are contributed by developing countries in Asia and Africa. Lack of modern diagnostic tools, underreporting of the new cases and underutilization of directly observed therapy (DOT) remain a concern in developing countries ...

Host Ranges of R Factors [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1972 SUMMARY: All R factors so far described can be transmitted to Escherichia coli. F-like R factors are transmissible to the Proteus group but not to the Pseudomonadaceae. Among fi - R factors, I-like plasmids are not transferable to Proteus although they mediate conjugation, allowing transfer of other plasmids to this group. They are not transmissible to

Host Factors in Coronavirus Replication [PDF]
, 2017 Coronaviruses are pathogens with a serious impact on human and animal health. They mostly cause enteric or respiratory disease, which can be severe and life threatening, e.g., in the case of the zoonotic coronaviruses causing severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in humans.

Unbridled Integrons: A Matter of Host Factors [PDF]
Cells, 2022 Integrons are powerful recombination systems found in bacteria, which act as platforms capable of capturing, stockpiling, excising and reordering mobile elements called cassettes. These dynamic genetic machineries confer a very high potential of adaptation to their host and have quickly found themselves at the forefront of antibiotic resistance ...
