Whole genome mapping of 5' RNA ends in bacteria by tagged sequencing : A comprehensive view in Enterococcus faecalis [PDF]

, 2014
Enterococcus faecalis is the third cause of nosocomial infections. To obtain the first comprehensive view of transcriptional organizations in this bacterium, we used a modified RNA-seq approach enabling to discriminate primary from processed 5'RNA ends. We also validated our approach by confirming known features in Escherichia coli.

Synthetic Biology‐Based Engineering Living Therapeutics for Antimicrobial Application

Exploration, 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 ...

Cortactin: A universal host cytoskeletal target of Gram‐negative and Gram‐positive bacterial pathogens

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 623-636, December 2022., 2022
In host‐pathogen interactions, actin‐cytoskeletal dynamics play a crucial role in successful adherence, invasion, and intracellular motility by many intruding microbes. To achieve this goal, bacterial pathogens target major host regulators, one of which is the key actin‐binding protein and class‐II actin nucleation‐promoting factor cortactin.

Treatment of the Candida subspecies Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis with two far‐UVC sources to minimise mycoses in clinical practice

Mycoses, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 25-28, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Fungal infections have increased considerably over the last decades, becoming progressively resistant to common drugs. UVC light has shown microbiological eradication effects, whereby the wavelength of 254 nm is strongly carcino‐ and mutagenic.

The NOSTRA model: coherent estimation of infection sources in the case of possible nosocomial transmission [PDF]

Nosocomial infections have important consequences for patients and hospital staff: they worsen patient outcomes and their management stresses already overburdened health systems. Accurate judgements of whether an infection is nosocomial helps staff make appropriate choices to protect other patients within the hospital.
