Biology of Paenibacillus larvae, a deadly pathogen of honey bee larvae

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2016
The gram-positive bacterium Paenibacillus larvae is the etiological agent of American Foulbrood of honey bees, a notifiable disease in many countries. Hence, P. larvae can be considered as an entomopathogen of considerable relevance in veterinary medicine. P.

Paenibacillus larvae enolase as a virulence factor in honeybee larvae infection

Veterinary Microbiology, 2011
Paenibacillus larvae is a gram-positive spore-forming bacteria, causative agent of American Foulbrood (AFB), a severe disease affecting larvae of the honeybee Apis mellifera. In an attempt to detect potential virulence factors secreted by P. larvae, we identified an enolase among different secreted proteins.

Sporulation and Germination of Paenibacillus larvae Cells

Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2018
AbstractEndospores are metabolically dormant cells formed by a variety of Gram‐positive bacteria within the phylum Firmicutes in response to nutrient limiting or otherwise unfavorable growth conditions. American foulbrood disease (AFB) is a serious disease of honeybees that is caused by the introduction of Paenibacillus larvae endospores into a ...

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Paenibacillus larvae isolates

Veterinary Microbiology, 2007
Paenibacillus larvae is the causative agent of American Foulbrood (AFB), a severe disease of honeybees (Apis melifera). The aim of this work was to develop a strategy for the subtyping and the epidemiological analysis of P. larvae. Phenotypic characterisation, susceptibility to several antibiotics, electrophoresis of whole bacterial proteins, rep-PCR ...

Growth and Laboratory Maintenance of Paenibacillus larvae

Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2018
AbstractPaenibacillus larvae is a Gram‐positive, spore‐forming bacterium and the causative agent of American foulbrood disease (AFB), a highly contagious, fatal disease affecting managed honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies. As the etiological agent of American foulbrood disease, P. larvae is the most economically significant bacterial pathogen infecting

Functionality of Tn916 in Paenibacillus larvae

Archives of Microbiology, 2016
The conjugative transposon Tn916 was determined to be functional in Paenibacillus larvae in regard to expression of tetracycline resistance and conjugative transfer. Expression of erythromycin resistance, using Tn916ΔE, was also observed. Conjugative transfer experiments employing Paenibacillus popilliae strains Tc1001 and Em1001 as transposon donors ...
