Listeria monocytogenes ST37 Distribution in the Moscow Region and Properties of Clinical and Foodborne Isolates

Life, 2023
Listerias of the phylogenetic lineage II (PLII) are common in the European environment and are hypovirulent. Despite this, they caused more than a third of the sporadic cases of listeriosis and multi-country foodborne outbreaks. L.

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 ...

Sequence variability of Campylobacter temperate bacteriophages

BMC Microbiology, 2008
Background Prophages integrated within the chromosomes of Campylobacter jejuni isolates have been demonstrated very recently. Prior work with Campylobacter temperate bacteriophages, as well as evidence from prophages in other enteric bacteria, suggests ...

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 Defective Prophage Pool of Escherichia coli O157: Prophage–Prophage Interactions Potentiate Horizontal Transfer of Virulence Determinants

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Bacteriophages are major genetic factors promoting horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between bacteria. Their roles in dynamic bacterial genome evolution have been increasingly highlighted by the fact that many sequenced bacterial genomes contain multiple prophages carrying a wide range of genes. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 is the most striking

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 ...

Campylobacter prophage diversity reveals pervasive recombination between prophages from different Campylobacter species

Microbiology Spectrum
Prophages, bacteriophages integrated into bacterial genomes, play a critical role in the genetic diversity and evolution of bacterial species. In this study, we investigated the prophage population harbored in Campylobacter species.

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 ...
