Biofilm is a major virulence determinant in bacterial colonization of chronic skin ulcers independently from the multidrug resistant phenotype [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Bacterial biofilm is a major factor in delayed wound healing and high levels of biofilm production have been repeatedly described in multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs).

Targeting the Tumor Microbiota in Cancer Therapy Basing on Nanomaterials

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Intra‐tumoral microbiota, which is a potential component of the tumor microenvironment, has been emerging as a key participant and driving factor in cancer. This article reviews the latest progress in this field, including the microbial community within tumors and its pro‐cancer mechanisms, as well as the anti‐tumor strategies targeting intra‐tumoral ...

Synthetic Biology‐Based Engineering Living Therapeutics for Antimicrobial Application

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
This perspective highlights synthetic biology‐driven antibacterial strategies, focusing on three innovative approaches: engineered bacteriophages for precision bacterial targeting, reprogrammed microbes that detect quorum‐sensing signals or metabolites to release antimicrobials, and engineering mammalian cells that recognize pathogen‐associated ...

Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae colonization in pediatric and neonatal intensive care units: risk factors for progression to infection

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2016
Background: Little is known about factors associated with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infections in pediatric patients, who are initally colonized with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae. Materials and methods: A retrospective case–

Draft Genome Sequences of Four NDM-1-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains from a Health Care Facility in Northern California. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report the draft genome sequences of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains from four patients at a northern California health care facility. All strains contained the New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM1) carbapenemase with extended antibiotic resistance ...

Sputum Microbiota Compositions Correlate With Metabolome and Clinical Outcomes of COPD‐Bronchiectasis Association: A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
This study aimed to determine how microbiota compositions (via 16S rRNA sequencing) correlate with clinical outcome and metabolome (via liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry) of CBA. Sputum microbiome and metabolome profiles of CBA were well separated from COPD but not bronchiectasis, partly driven by the higher abundance of Proteobacteria in CBA ...

Microbial Profiles of Hands, Foods, Easy Contact Surfaces and Food Contact Surfaces: A Case Study of a University Campus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Human hands usually harbour microbes both as part of body normal flora as well as transient microbes acquired from the environment. One common way by which transient organisms of hand are picked up is by contact with food and surfaces.
