A novel homoarginine-containing cyclic peptide pioamide with selective antipseudomonal activity isolated from the nematode symbiont <i>Photorhabdus khanii</i>. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol
Gram-negative bacteria harbor an outer membrane that physically protects them from the penetration of antibiotics into the cells. This barrier makes it challenging to develop antibiotics that effectively kill Gram-negative pathogens. The entomopathogenic

Genetic architecture of resistance to plant secondary metabolites in Photorhabdus entomopathogenic bacteria. [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Heterorhabditis establish a symbiotic association with Photorhabdus bacteria. Together, they colonize and rapidly kill insects, making them important biological control agents against agricultural pests.

Molluscicidal property of symbiotic bacteria associated with entomopathogenic nematodes against Indoplanorbis exustus and Radix rubiginosa, the intermediate hosts of trematode parasites. [PDF]

Parasite Epidemiol Control
Indoplanorbis exustus and Radix rubiginosa act as intermediate hosts for veterinary and medical trematode parasites. Snail control is a strategy used to decrease the number of snails and interrupt the life cycle of parasites.

The Entomopathogenic Bacterial Endosymbionts Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus: Convergent Lifestyles from Divergent Genomes [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Members of the genus Xenorhabdus are entomopathogenic bacteria that associate with nematodes. The nematode-bacteria pair infects and kills insects, with both partners contributing to insect pathogenesis and the bacteria providing nutrition to the ...

Computational modelling and sequence analysis provide new insights into the structure, function, and evolution of the <i>pirB</i> Gene in <i>Photorhabdus</i>, <i>Xenorhabdus</i>, and <i>Vibrio species</i>. [PDF]

J Adv Vet Anim Res
Objective: To compare the structural and functional variations in the Photorhabdus insect-related B (pirB) genes of selected bacterial species such as Photorhabdus luminescens, Xenorhabdus doucetiae, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Injection of Affibodies by a Self-Organizing Bacterial Syringe to Interfere with Intracellular Signaling. [PDF]

Toxins (Basel)
Photorhabdus luminescens produces a syringe-like toxin complex to inject toxic enzymes into cells. We demonstrated that the recombinant Photorhabdus toxin complex (PTC) can be engineered for translocation of foreign cargo proteins across cellular ...
