Experimental studies addressing the longevity of Bacillus subtilis spores – The first data from a 500-year experiment

PLoS ONE, 2018
The ability to form endospores allows certain Gram-positive bacteria (e.g. Bacillus subtilis) to challenge the limits of microbial resistance and survival. Thus, B.

Intestinal calcium and bile salts facilitate germination of Clostridium difficile spores

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is an anaerobic gram-positive pathogen that is the leading cause of nosocomial bacterial infection globally. C. difficile infection (CDI) typically occurs after ingestion of infectious spores by a patient that has ...

Estimating the abundance of airborne pollen and fungal spores at variable elevations using an aircraft: how high can they fly?

Scientific Reports, 2017
Airborne pollen and fungal spores are monitored mainly in highly populated, urban environments, for allergy prevention purposes. However, their sources can frequently be located outside cities’ fringes with more vegetation.

Ebselen Not Only Inhibits Clostridioides difficile Toxins but Displays Redox-Associated Cellular Killing

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Ebselen, a reactive organoselenium compound, was shown to inhibit toxins TcdA and TcdB by covalently binding to their cysteine protease domains. It was suggested that ebselen lacked antimicrobial activity against Clostridioides difficile.

Observations on research with spores of Bacillales and Clostridiales species

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2018
The purpose of this article is to highlight some areas of research with spores of bacteria of Firmicute species in which the methodology too commonly used is not optimal and generates misleading results.
