Within-Host Dynamics of Multi-Species Infections:Facilitation, Competition and Virulence [PDF]

, 2012
Host individuals are often infected with more than one parasite species (parasites defined broadly, to include viruses and bacteria). Yet, research in infection biology is dominated by studies on single-parasite infections.

A Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Genomic Regions for Virulence in the Non-Model Organism Heterobasidion annosum ss [PDF]

, 2013
The dense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) panels needed for genome wide association (GWA) studies have hitherto been expensive to establish and use on non-model organisms.

Changes in fecal microbiota after therapeutic exposure to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid in veal calves receiving multiple antibiotics

Microbiology Spectrum
Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (AMC) is an important antibiotic in human and veterinary medicine. However, it can select antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the gut microbiota and alter its composition.

Adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus in a Medium Mimicking a Diabetic Foot Environment

Toxins, 2021
Staphylococcus aureus is the most prevalent pathogen isolated from diabetic foot infections (DFIs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate its behavior in an in vitro model mimicking the conditions encountered in DFI. Four clinical S.

Putative determinants of virulence in Melissococcus plutonius, the bacterial agent causing European foulbrood in honeybees [Elektronisk resurs]

, 2020
Melissococcus plutonius is a bacterial pathogen that causes epidemic outbreaks of European foulbrood (EFB) in honey bee populations. The pathogenicity of a bacterium depends on its virulence, and understanding the mechanisms influencing virulence may ...

Killing them softly:managing pathogen polymorphism and virulence in spatially variable environments [PDF]

, 2013
Understanding why pathogen populations are genetically variable is vital because genetic variation fuels evolution, which often hampers disease control efforts.

Susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates from different sources to biocides: a matter of biofilm

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen causing severe infections in patients residing in intensive care units. The ability of A. baumannii to acquire carbapenem-resistance makes these infections difficult to treat and poses a serious risk ...

Assessment of Borrelia miyamotoi in febrile patients and ticks in Alsace, an endemic area for Lyme borreliosis in France

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Borrelia miyamotoi is a relapsing fever Borrelia species transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes ricinus complex. Human disease caused by B. miyamotoi was first described in Russia and later in the USA and Japan.

DNA ligase LigE increases bacterial transformation with damaged extracellular DNA

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The DNA ligase LigE from the naturally competent Gram‐negative bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoaea increases transformation with cut extracellular DNA. This process is ATP‐dependent and relies on the catalytic activity of LigE; it also requires that LigE contains an intact periplasmic localisation sequence, indicating that ligE functions in the periplasm ...

Predicting the virulence of MRSA from its genome sequence [PDF]

, 2014
This work is supported by the EC-FP7 program no. 245500 and the BBSRCMicrobial virulence is a complex and often multifactorial phenotype, intricately linked to a pathogen's evolutionary trajectory.
