Lack of correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to a herbivore in crucifer plants: real or flawed by experimental methods? [PDF]

, 2009
The correlation between constitutive and induced resistance to herbivores in plants has long been of interest to evolutionary biologists, and various approaches to determining levels of resistance have been used in this field of research.

Ecological feedbacks and the evolution of resistance [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2009
Summary 1.  The idea that parasites can affect host diversity is pervasive, and the possibility that parasites can increase host diversity is of particular interest. In this review, we focus on diversity in the resistance of hosts to their parasites, and on the different ways in which parasites can increase or decrease this ...

Landscape attributes governing local transmission of an endemic zoonosis: rabies virus in domestic dogs [PDF]

, 2018
Landscape heterogeneity plays an important role in disease spread and persistence, but quantifying landscape influences and their scale dependence is challenging.

Conserved and specific features of Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus agalactiae transcriptional landscapes

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A Streptococcus, is responsible for mild infections to life-threatening diseases. To facilitate the characterization of regulatory networks involved in the adaptation of this pathogen to its ...

The ecology and evolution of tetracycline resistance [PDF]

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1992
The use of tetracycline over the past few decades has been accompanied by a drastic increase in the frequency of tetracycline resistance in a wide range of bacterial species and genera. A diversity of resistance determinants is found in the microbial world, coding for markedly different mechanisms of resistance.

In vitro Antimicrobial Activity of Robenidine, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid and Polymyxin B Nonapeptide Against Important Human and Veterinary Pathogens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The emergence and global spread of antimicrobial resistance among bacterial pathogens demand alternative strategies to treat life-threatening infections. Combination drugs and repurposing of old compounds with known safety profiles that are not currently

Synthetic microbial ecosystems : an exciting tool to understand and apply microbial communities [PDF]

, 2013
Many microbial ecologists have described the composition of microbial communities in a plenitude of environments, which has greatly improved our basic understanding of microorganisms and ecosystems.

Evolution of VIM-1-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Isolates from a Hospital Outbreak Reveals the Genetic Bases of the Loss of the Urease-Positive Identification Character

mSystems, 2021
Evolution of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens occurs at multiple scales, in the patient, locally in the hospital, or more globally. Some mutations or gene acquisitions, for instance in response to antibiotic treatment, may be restricted to a ...

Role of functionally dominant species in varying environmental regimes: evidence for the performance-enhancing effect of biodiversity [PDF]

, 2012
Background Theory suggests that biodiversity can act as a buffer against disturbances and environmental variability via two major mechanisms: Firstly, a stabilising effect by decreasing the temporal variance in ecosystem functioning due to compensatory ...

Phenotypic and Genotypic Analysis of Antimicrobial Resistance in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Isolated from Pigs with Enzootic Pneumonia in Australia

Pathogens
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, an important cause of enzootic pneumonia in pigs in many countries, has recently been shown to exhibit reduced susceptibility to several antimicrobial classes.
