Rapid detection of zoonotic Streptococcus suis serotype 2 and 14 by enzyme-activated probe fluorescence quantitative PCR method

BMC Veterinary Research
Streptococcus suis serotypes 2 and 14 are the most common zoonotic strains, but previous identification methods made distinguish these two serotypes from other S. suis serotypes difficult.

Streptococcus suisinfections in birds [PDF]

Avian Pathology, 1994
Four cases of Streptococcus suis infection were diagnosed in psittacine birds and four others in zebrafinches, bullfinches, canaries and a duck. The main clinical and pathological manifestation was septicaemia with multiple sudden deaths in nestlings, young and adults. Other cases were solitary, with evidence for secondary involvement of S. suis.

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

Streptococcus suis: A Possible Emerging Zoonotic Pathogen in Romania

Microorganisms
Streptococcus suis is a common germ in pig populations, with high carrier rates. Recent studies identify it as an emerging zoonotic pathogen, particularly in Southeast Asia, where raw pork is traditionally consumed.

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

One size does not fit all: An in vitro evaluation of the effects of bezafibrate and medroxyprogesterone acetate on human SH‐SY5Y and U‐87 MG cancer cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Drugs previously repurposed to target blood cancers reduced neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell growth and viability. However, their levels of anticancer activity were different and their clinical application may be problematic due to side effects at effective doses.

Genomic characterization of Streptococcus parasuis, a close relative of Streptococcus suis and also a potential opportunistic zoonotic pathogen

BMC Genomics, 2022
Streptococcus parasuis (S. parasuis) is a close relative of Streptococcus suis (S. suis), composed of former members of S. suis serotypes 20, 22 and 26. S.
