Antimicrobial use and resistance in Escherichia coli from healthy food-producing animals in Guadeloupe

BMC Veterinary Research, 2021
Background Selection pressure exerted by use of antibiotics in both human and veterinary medicine is responsible for increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The objectives of this study were to better understand antimicrobial use in pigs, beef cattle,

Fitness cost associated with cell phenotypic switching drives population diversification dynamics and controllability

Nature Communications, 2023
Isogenic cell populations can cope with stress conditions by switching to alternative phenotypes. Even if it can lead to increased fitness in a natural context, this feature is typically unwanted for a range of applications (e.g., bioproduction ...

Pectic homogalacturonan sensed by Bacillus acts as host associated cue to promote establishment and persistence in the rhizosphere

iScience, 2023
Summary: Bacillus velezensis isolates are among the most promising plant-associated beneficial bacteria used as biocontrol agents. However, various aspects of the chemical communication between the plant and these beneficials, determining root ...

The Leaf Microbiome of Arabidopsis Displays Reproducible Dynamics and Patterns throughout the Growing Season

mBio, 2022
Leaves are primarily responsible for the plant’s photosynthetic activity. Thus, changes in the leaf microbiota, which includes deleterious and beneficial microbes, can have far-reaching effects on plant fitness and productivity. Identifying the processes

Uncovering the trimethylamine-producing bacteria of the human gut microbiota

Microbiome, 2017
Background Trimethylamine (TMA), produced by the gut microbiota from dietary quaternary amines (mainly choline and carnitine), is associated with atherosclerosis and severe cardiovascular disease.

Potential TMA-Producing Bacteria Are Ubiquitously Found in Mammalia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Human gut bacteria metabolize dietary components such as choline and carnitine to trimethylamine (TMA) that is subsequently oxidized to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) by hepatic enzymes.
