A novel approach to probe host-pathogen interactions of bovine digital dermatitis, a model of a complex polymicrobial infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Polymicrobial infections represent a great challenge for the clarification of disease etiology and the development of comprehensive diagnostic or therapeutic tools, particularly for fastidious and difficult-to-cultivate bacteria. Using bovine

Presence ofBorrelia burgdorferi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest, Wisconsin, and Characterization of Strain W97F51 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Entomology, 2005
Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson, Schmidt, Hyde, Steigerwalt & Brenner; babesiosis, caused by Babesia microti Franca; and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum Bakken & Dumler have been reported in Wisconsin, mainly in the endemic areas of the northwestern part of the state.

Microbiota analysis of environmental slurry and its potential role as a reservoir of bovine digital dermatitis pathogens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
At present, very little information exists regarding what role the environmental slurry may play as an infection reservoir and/or route of transmission for bovine digital dermatitis (DD), a disease which is a global problem in dairy herds. To investigate

Molecular characterization of ‘Candidatus Borrelia tachyglossi’ (family Spirochaetaceae) in echidna ticks, Bothriocroton concolor

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017
Recently, a novel species of the genusBorreliawas identified inBothriocroton concolorandIxodes holocyclusticks from echidnas. Analyses of 16S rRNA andflaBgenes identified three closely related genotypes of this bacterium (Borreliasp. Aus A-C) that were unique and distinct from previously described borreliae.

A Phylogenomic and Molecular Signature Based Approach for Characterization of the Phylum Spirochaetes and its Major Clades: Proposal for a Taxonomic Revision of the Phylum

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
The Spirochaetes species cause many important diseases including syphilis and Lyme disease. Except for their containing a distinctive endoflagella, no other molecular or biochemical characteristics are presently known that are specific for either all ...

Effect of 6-Methoxybenzoxazolinone on the Cecal Microbiota of Adult Male Brandt’s Vole

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The anti-microbial effects of plant secondary metabolite (PSM) 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone (6-MBOA) have been overlooked. This study investigated the effect of 6-MBOA on the cecal microbiota of adult male Brandt’s voles (Lasiopodomys brandtii), to evaluate ...

Intestinal microbiota modulation and improved growth in pigs with post-weaning antibiotic and ZnO supplementation but only subtle microbiota effects with Bacillus altitudinis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The objective was to evaluate the effect of dietary Bacillus altitudinis spore supplementation during day (D)0–28 post-weaning (PW) and/or D29–56 PW compared with antibiotic and zinc oxide (AB + ZnO) supplementation on pig growth and gut microbiota ...

Application of a maximal-clique based community detection algorithm to gut microbiome data reveals driver microbes during influenza A virus infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Influenza A Virus (IAV) infection followed by bacterial pneumonia often leads to hospitalization and death in individuals from high risk groups. Following infection, IAV triggers the process of viral RNA replication which in turn disrupts healthy gut ...

Oral Microbiota, a Potential Determinant for the Treatment Efficacy of Gastric Helicobacter pylori Eradication in Humans

open access: yesPolish Journal of Microbiology, 2022
The oral cavity serves as another reservoir for gastric Helicobacter pylori and may contribute to the failure of gastric H. pylori eradication therapy. However, changes to the oral microbial composition after gastric H. pylori eradication therapy has not
