Maternal and infant gut microbiome

iMeta, EarlyView.
The maternal–infant continuum involves critical windows of host–microbiota co‐adaptation. Preconception, maternal and paternal microbiomes modulate immunity and reproduction. During pregnancy, a gut–placenta axis emerges, where microbial metabolites influence fetal growth or contribute to complications like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ...

Revisiting Burn Wound Infections: A Comprehensive Review on the Dual Potential of Phages and Probiotics Against Acinetobacter baumannii

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Effect Probiotics on immune system modulation and wound Healing. ABSTRACT Introduction Burn wound infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii remain a critical clinical challenge due to its extensive multidrug resistance, particularly against carbapenems.

The impact of prophages on bacterial chromosomes [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2004
SummaryProphages were automatically localized in se‐quenced bacterial genomes by a simple semantic script leading to the identification of 190 prophages in 115 investigated genomes. The distribution of prophages with respect to presence or absence in a given bacterial species, the location and orientation of the prophages on the replichore was not ...

Profile of Eight Prophage Sequences Present in the Genomes of Different Acinetobacter baumannii Strains

Medical Laboratory Journal, 2017
Background and Objective: Prophage sequences are major contributors to interstrain variations within the same bacterial species. Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative bacterium that causes a wide range of nosocomial infections, especially in ...

A prophage-encoded abortive infection protein preserves host and prophage spread. [PDF]

Nature
Most bacterial pathogens are polylysogens, harbouring multiple vertically transmitted prophages1-3. These prophages enhance bacterial pathogenicity and survival by encoding virulence factors and anti-phage defence systems while retaining the capacity for horizontal transfer.

Biosurfactant production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from mining waste: From genomic analysis to development of a polymeric composite for removal of hexavalent chromium

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Biosurfactant was produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa using andiroba waste from Amazonia. A biosurfactant–alginate composite (Alg/BioS) was successfully synthesized via ionotropic gelation, and achieved up to 70% Cr6+ removal from water. Abstract Environmental contamination by heavy metals represents a significant challenge due to their persistence in ...

Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198—A Promising Strain for Studying Pathogenesis of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM‐PD)

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this review, we introduce a promising strain for studying pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD), Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198. M.i.198 was isolated from a patient with progressive Mycobacterium avium‐intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC‐PD) in whom surgical operation was required to ...

Characterization of prophages of Lactococcus garvieae [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractThis report describes the morphological characterization and genome analysis of an induced prophage (PLg-TB25) from a dairy strain of Lactococcus garvieae. The phage belongs to the Siphoviridae family and its morphology is typical of other lactococcal phages.

Timely excision of prophage Φ13 is essential for the Staphylococcus aureus infectious process

Infection and Immunity
Mobile genetic elements play an essential part in the infectious process of major pathogens, yet the role of prophage dynamics in Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis is still not well understood.

Genome Analysis of Corynebacterium ulcerans Isolates Chronologically Recovered From the Same Cat for Two Years: Circulation in a Cat Shelter

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans, a zoonotic pathogen, was isolated repeatedly from a cat in an in‐house group in Japan. Although the cat was cured once by antibiotic treatment, clonal isolates of the original pathogenic strain were recovered repeatedly during a 2‐year course.
