Directed Expression of Tracheal Antimicrobial Peptide as a Treatment for Bovine-Associated Staphylococcus Aureus-Induced Mastitis in Mice

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Bovine mastitis is perplexing the dairy industry since the initiation of intensive dairy farming, which has caused a reduction in the productivity of cows and an escalation in costs.

Plasmid classifications

Plasmid, 2023
Plasmids are universally present in bacteria and play key roles in the dissemination of genes such as antibiotic resistance determinants. Major concepts in Plasmid Biology derive from the efforts to classify plasmids. Here, we review the main plasmid classification systems, starting by phenotype-based methods, such as fertility inhibition and ...

KPC-2-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae of the Uncommon ST29 Type Carrying OXA-926, a Novel Narrow-Spectrum OXA β-Lactamase

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
We isolated and characterized a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) clinical strain from blood carrying a novel blaOXA gene, blaOXA–926, and belonging to ST29, an uncommon CRKP type. The strain, 130002, was genome sequenced using both short-

Mobility of Plasmids [PDF]

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2010
SUMMARYPlasmids are key vectors of horizontal gene transfer and essential genetic engineering tools. They code for genes involved in many aspects of microbial biology, including detoxication, virulence, ecological interactions, and antibiotic resistance.

Genetic Diversity and Characteristics of blaNDM-Positive Plasmids in Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
New Delhi metallo-β-lactamases (NDMs), including at least 28 variants, are a rapidly emerging family of β-lactamases worldwide, with a variety of infections caused by NDM-positive strains usually associated with very poor prognosis and high mortality ...

Whole-Genome Sequence Analysis of an Extensively Drug-Resistant Salmonella enterica Serovar Agona Isolate from an Australian Silver Gull (Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae) Reveals the Acquisition of Multidrug Resistance Plasmids

mSphere, 2020
Although most of the approximately 94 million annual human cases of gastroenteritis due to Salmonella enterica resolve without medical intervention, antimicrobial therapy is recommended for patients with severe disease. Wild birds can be natural hosts of

Species classification and novel plasmid identifications in Arcobacter cryaerophilus and Arcobacter cryaerophilus-like organisms

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The Arcobacter is a globally emerging foodborne and zoonotic pathogen that can cause diarrhea in humans. It is relatively homogenous and clearly distinguishes the group from other Epsilonproteobacteria. Arcobacter cryaerophilus (A.

Plasmid-to-plasmid recombination in Haemophilus influenzae [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1986
No recombination between plasmids was observed after conjugal transfer of a plasmid into a cell carrying another plasmid. Two types of such recombination took place after transformation, one type being Rec+ dependent and suggesting a preferred site of recombination. The other much rarer type was at least partially Rec+ independent.

Genetic context of blaCTX–M–55 and qnrS1 genes in a foodborne Salmonella enterica serotype Saintpaul isolate from China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Salmonella enterica resistant to fluoroquinolones (FQs) and extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESCs) has been deemed a high-priority pathogen by the WHO. Salmonella enterica serovar Saintpaul (S.

Intracellular Delivery of DNA and Protein by a Novel Cell-Permeable Peptide Derived from DOT1L

Biomolecules, 2020
Cellular uptake and intracellular release efficiency of biomacromolecules is low because of hurdles in the cell membrane that result in limited access to intra-cellular targets with few functional effects.
