SpxA1 and SpxA2 act coordinately to fine-tune stress responses and virulence in Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]
, 2017 SpxA is a unique transcriptional regulator highly conserved among members of the phylum Firmicutes that binds RNA polymerase and can act as an antiactivator. Why some Firmicutes members have two highly similar SpxA paralogs is not understood.

Spread of the blaOXA-48/IncL Plasmid within and between Dogs in City Parks, France
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The blaOXA-48/IncL plasmid is increasingly reported in dogs, even in the absence of carbapenem use in animals. In this study, we witnessed the spread of this plasmid within and between dogs sharing the same relaxing area.

Alternatives to Fight Vancomycin-Resistant Staphylococci and Enterococci
Antibiotics, 2021 Gram positive pathogens are a significant cause of healthcare-associated infections, with Staphylococci and Enterococci being the most prevalent ones. Vancomycin, a last resort glycopeptide, is used to fight these bacteria but the emergence of resistance

Is methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) CC398 a true animal-independent pathogen?
Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2022 Objectives: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) belonging to ST398 has been widely described in animals. In parallel, methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) ST398 isolates causing severe infections in humans have recently emerged as animal ...

Clonal Origin, Virulence Factors, and Virulence [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2000 The recent report from Picard et al. regarding extraintestinal Escherichia coli infections provides new insights into the relationships between clonal origin, virulence factor repertoire, and virulence (1). That clonal origin was only secondarily associated with virulence in this study was suggested by the finding that although mouse lethality was more

Alternative Approaches for the Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) represent a growing public health problem. The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria is a complication due to the difficulties in distinguishing between infection and colonization in DFU.
