A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

Novel Polymyxin Combination With Antineoplastic Mitotane Improved the Bacterial Killing Against Polymyxin-Resistant Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Pathogens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Due to limited new antibiotics, polymyxins are increasingly used to treat multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, in particular carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Transient receptor potential channel 1 deficiency impairs host defense and proinflammatory responses to bacterial infection by regulating protein kinase Cα signaling [PDF]

, 2015
Transient receptor potential channel 1 (TRPC1) is a nonselective cation channel that is required for Ca2+ homeostasis necessary for cellular functions. However, whether TRPC1 is involved in infectious disease remains unknown.

Exploring the Roles of Tuna‐Associated Acinetobacter sp. YFT067: Implications for Host Health and Metabolism

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study firstly isolated a tuna‐derived gut probiotic Acinetobacter seifertii YFT067. Dietary administration of YFT067 played significant roles in promoting growth performance, SCFAs production, lipid absorption, and metabolism of the host, indicating YFT067 as a promising probiotic candidate for enhancing tuna aquaculture productivity through ...

Co‐Infection of Brucella canis and Brucella melitensis in a Domestic Dog With Zoonotic Transmission to Human, China

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Source attribution figure for human and dogs Brucella canis infections. ABSTRACT We report a rare occurrence of genetic material from both Brucella canis and B. melitensis detected in a domesticated dog from Jiangsu Province, China. The detection was confirmed through serological assays, quantitative PCR (qPCR), metagenomic and genomic sequencing ...

Inflammation and endothelial function: Direct vascular effects of human C-reactive protein on nitric oxide bioavailability [PDF]

, 2005
Background - Circulating concentrations of the sensitive inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) predict future cardiovascular events, and CRP is elevated during sepsis and inflammation, when vascular reactivity may be modulated.

The susceptibility of pathogenic free-living amebae to chemotherapeutic agents : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University [PDF]

, 1979
The treatment of infections caused by pathogenic free-living amebae (PFLA) has, until only recently, been far from successful. The continued screening of chemotherapeutic agents against amebae of the genera Naegleria and Acanthamoeba is therefore of the ...
