Impact of Different Anthropogenic Environments on Ticks and Tick-Associated Pathogens in Alsace, a French Region Highly Endemic for Tick-Borne Diseases

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Ticks and tick-borne diseases have spread over the last decades. In parallel, the incidence in humans, accidental hosts for most of these zoonotic diseases, has increased.

Virulence of enterococci [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology Reviews, 1994
Enterococci are commensal organisms well suited to survival in intestinal and vaginal tracts and the oral cavity. However, as for most bacteria described as causing human disease, enterococci also possess properties that can be ascribed roles in pathogenesis.

Destruction of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms by combining an antibiotic with subtilisin A or calcium gluconate

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
In S. aureus biofilms, bacteria are embedded in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and are highly tolerant to antimicrobial drugs. We thus sought to identify non-antibiotic substances with broad-spectrum activity able to destroy the EPS

Multiple host colonization and differential expansion of multidrug-resistant ST25-Acinetobacter baumannii clades

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The Acinetobacter baumannii clonal lineage ST25 has been identified in humans and animals and found associated with outbreaks globally. To highlight possible similarities among ST25 A.

Identification and characterisation of enteroaggregative Escherichia coli subtypes associated with human disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) are a major cause of diarrhoea worldwide. Due to their heterogeneity and carriage in healthy individuals, identification of diagnostic virulence markers for pathogenic strains has been difficult.

Listeriolysin S, a Novel Peptide Haemolysin Associated with a Subset of Lineage I Listeria monocytogenes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
peer-reviewedStreptolysin S (SLS) is a bacteriocin-like haemolytic and cytotoxic virulence factor that plays a key role in the virulence of Group A Streptococcus (GAS), the causative agent of pharyngitis, impetigo, necrotizing fasciitis and streptococcal

A Relevant Wound-Like in vitro Media to Study Bacterial Cooperation and Biofilm in Chronic Wounds

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Biofilm on the skin surface of chronic wounds is an important factor in the pathology, inhibiting wound healing. The polymicrobial nature of these infected wounds and bacterial interactions inside this pathogenic biofilm are the keys for understanding ...

Multilocus sequence typing of clinical Borreliella afzelii strains: population structure and differential ability to disseminate in humans

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Lyme borreliosis in humans results in a range of clinical manifestations, thought to be partly due to differences in the pathogenicity of the infecting strain.

Effect of efflux pump inhibition on Pseudomonas aeruginosa transcriptome and virulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Efflux pumps of the resistance-nodulation-cell-division (RND) family increase antibiotic resistance in many bacterial pathogens, representing candidate targets for the development of antibiotic adjuvants.

Spread of the mcr-1 colistin-resistance gene in Escherichia coli through plasmid transmission and chromosomal transposition in French goats

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionColistin-resistance widely disseminated in food-producing animals due to decades of colistin use to treat diarrhea. The plasmid-borne mcr-1 gene has been extensively reported from bovine, swine and chicken worldwide, but smaller productions ...
