Protective Effects of Potential Probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici 100 Against Multi‐Drug‐Resistant Diarrheal Escherichia coli Strains Induced Changes in Caenorhabditis elegans Model System

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This study shows the protective effects of potential probiotic strain of Pediococci strains against diarrheal Escherichia coli strains in Caenorhabditis elegans model system. The E. coli strains resulted in severe morphological and physiological damage to the worm whereas the probiotic interventions were able to reduce these damages.

A rare case of successful treatment of peritoneal dialysis patient with Serratia marcescens peritonitis without catheter removal: case report and literature review

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Serratia marcescens, as a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, is a rare cause of peritonitis and has worse clinical outcomes than Gram-positive peritonitis.

LysR-Type Transcriptional Regulator MetR Controls Prodigiosin Production, Methionine Biosynthesis, Cell Motility, H2O2 Tolerance, Heat Tolerance, and Exopolysaccharide Synthesis in Serratia marcescens

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2019
Serratia marcescens, a Gram-negative bacterium, is found in a wide range of ecological niches and can produce several secondary metabolites, including prodigiosin, althiomycin, and serratamolide.

Synovial interleukin‐6 point‐of‐care testing, alone and combined with D‐dimer, supports rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...

Crystal structure of plant γ‐glutamyl peptidase 1: implications for sulfur metabolism and secondary metabolite biosynthesis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The crystal structures of Arabidopsis thaliana γ‐glutamyl peptidase 1 (GGP1), including the covalent intermediate state, were determined. GGP1 is involved in both glutathione degradation in the primary metabolism and glutathione conjugate processing in the secondary metabolism of glucosinolate and camalexin biosynthesis.

Risk assessment for the spread of Serratia marcescens within dental-unit waterline systems using Vermamoeba vermiformis [PDF]

, 2015
Vermamoeba vermiformis is associated with the biofilm ecology of dental-unit waterlines (DUWLs). This study investigated whether V. vermiformis is able to act as a vector for potentially pathogenic bacteria and so aid their dispersal within DUWL systems.

Spondylodiscitis associated with recurrent Serratia bacteremia due to a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS): a case report

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
We report a case of spondylodiscitis caused by multiresistant Serratia marcescens in a cirrhotic patient who had several Serratia bacteremias after the placement of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) device.

Building evidence for transfusion practice: A pilot study on bacterial adhesion and growth in red blood cell infusion sets

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood administration sets are changed after a prescribed time interval with variations in guidelines. In Canada, sets are changed every 4 h based on the theory of potential bacterial attachment. This study aimed to investigate whether bacteria adhere to the inner surfaces of blood administration sets during mimicked transfusions of ...
