Bacteria from Animals as a Pool of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes

Antibiotics, 2017
Antimicrobial agents are used in both veterinary and human medicine. The intensive use of antimicrobials in animals may promote the fixation of antimicrobial resistance genes in bacteria, which may be zoonotic or capable to transfer these genes to human ...

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

ZymoSoups: A High-Throughput Forward Genetics Method for Rapid Identification of Virulence Genes in Zymoseptoria tritici

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions
Septoria tritici blotch is caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici and poses a major threat to wheat productivity. There are over 20 mapped loci in wheat that confer strong (gene-for-gene) resistance against this pathogen, but the corresponding genes ...

Molecular analysis of resistance genes against phylloxera, antracnosis and crown gall disease in a collection of different grapevine accessions

Laimburg Journal, 2019
In the year 2012 the Laimburg Research Centre, in collaboration with the Autonomous Province of Bolzano and the private platform InnoVitis in Marlengo, has started a project called RebSelect with the aim to characterise a collection of about 150 ...

Genomic Analysis Reveals the Genetic Determinants Associated With Antibiotic Resistance in the Zoonotic Pathogen Campylobacter spp. Distributed Globally

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The genus Campylobacter groups 32 Gram-negative bacteria species, several being zoonotic pathogens and a major cause of human gastroenteritis worldwide. Antibiotic resistant Campylobacter is considered by the World Health Organization as a high priority ...

The Prevalence of Integrons as the Carrier of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Natural and Man-Made Environments.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2017
Class 1 integrase intI1 has been considered as a good proxy for anthropogenic pollution because of being linked to genes conferring resistance to antibiotics.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Multiplex Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction and Recombinase Polymerase Amplification: Methods for Quick and Cost-Effective Detection of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE)

Antibiotics
Background/Objectives: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are one of the leading causes of antibiotic-resistant infections in the hospital setting worldwide, and this has become a major issue, because most patients infected with this strain are ...

Bacteriophages Contribute to the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance Genes among Foodborne Pathogens of the Enterobacteriaceae Family – A Review

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Foodborne illnesses continue to have an economic impact on global health care systems. There is a growing concern regarding the increasing frequency of antibiotic resistance in foodborne bacterial pathogens and how such resistance may affect treatment ...

Time after time – circadian clocks through the lens of oscillator theory

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Oscillator theory bridges physics and circadian biology. Damped oscillators require external drivers, while limit cycles emerge from delayed feedback and nonlinearities. Coupling enables tissue‐level coherence, and entrainment aligns internal clocks with environmental cues.
