Postpartum listeria meningitis

open access: yesIDCases, 2020
Listeria monocytogenes is a small Gram positive, intracellular bacillus known to cause a foodborne disease in immunocompromised patients and other high-risk groups. The infection that usually is asymptomatic or resembles a mild influenza like disease, in some risk groups can cause meningitis and brain abscesses. In pregnant women, L.

Engineering of 2‐ketoacid Decarboxylases for Production of Isobutanol and Other Fusel Alcohols in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isobutanol is a fusel alcohol that can be produced microbially for use as a biofuel or upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A key enzyme in the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway is 2‐ketoacid decarboxylase (KDC), which irreversibly decarboxylates 2‐ketoisovalerate (KIV) to yield isobutyraldehyde.

Biological features and medical significance of the Listeria bacteria

open access: yesИнфекция и иммунитет
Bacteria of the genus Listeria are widely distributed in the environment; they are isolated from soil and water ecosystems, food products, environmental objects, and circulate in vivo. L. monocytogenes are pathogenic for animals and humans.

Effect of soiling agents on disinfection efficacy of a pulsed‐xenon UV lamp towards Listeria monocytogenes on stainless steel surfaces

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
This study quantifies the effects of different soils found in the food processing environment on the efficiency of pulsed‐xenon UV disinfection. Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne illness that poses a significant threat to human health in young, old, and immunocompromised persons and accordingly, prevention of Listeria contamination is of ...

RORγt‐APCs: The New Masters of Oral Tolerance

open access: yesBarrier Immunity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oral tolerance is defined by the hypo‐responsiveness of our body to fed antigens, and its failure can lead to immune‐mediated diseases, such as allergy, chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases. Decades of research have demonstrated that antigen‐presenting cells (APCs) promote oral tolerance by inducing regulatory T cells (Tregs) and/or ...

Engineered Probiotics: The Next‐Generation Therapeutics to Combat Antibiotic‐Resistant Bacterial Infections

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Engineered probiotics secretes fusion proteins which potentially neutralized the toxins secreted by other microbial communities. ABSTRACT On a global scale, the escalating burden of infectious diseases, predominantly attributed to bacterial pathogens, especially drug‐resistant strains, has progressed into a critical concern for clinical management and ...
