  11. Altered Integrative and Conjugative Elements (ICEs) in Recent Vibrio cholerae O1 Isolated From Cholera Cases, Kolkata, India

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • The self-transferring integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are large genomic segments carrying several bacterial adaptive functions including antimicrobial resistance (AMR). SXT/R391 family is one of the ICEs extensively studied in cholera-causing pathogen Vibrio cholerae. The genetic characteristics of ICE-SXT/R391 in V. cholerae are dynamic and region-specific. These ICEs in V.

  12. Potential of Atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus Vegetative Compatibility Groups Associated With Maize and Groundnut in Ghana as Biocontrol Agents for Aflatoxin Management

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Increasing knowledge of the deleterious health and economic impacts of aflatoxin in crop commodities has stimulated global interest in aflatoxin mitigation. Current evidence of the incidence of Aspergillus flavus isolates belonging to vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) lacking the ability to produce aflatoxins (i.e., atoxigenic) in Ghana may lead to develop an aflatoxin biocontrol strategy to mitigate crop aflatoxin content. In this study, 12 genetically diverse atoxigenic African A.

  13. Cj1388 Is a RidA Homolog and Is Required for Flagella Biosynthesis and/or Function in Campylobacter jejuni

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Campylobacter jejuni is the leading bacterial cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide and is of immense significance to public health. C. jejuni primarily lives in the gastrointestinal tracts of poultry and can contaminate meat during processing. Despite a small genome, the metabolic plasticity of C. jejuni allows proliferation in chicken ceca and mammalian host intestines, and survival in environments with a variety of temperatures, pH, osmotic conditions, and nutrient availabilities.

  16. A review of the novel thermophilic Campylobacter, Campylobacter hepaticus, a pathogen of poultry

    • Transboundary and Emerging Diseases

    • In 2015, a novel thermophilic Campylobacter was isolated from cases of spotty liver disease in laying hens in the UK. In 2016, it was isolated from laying hens in Australia where it was formally named Campylobacter hepaticus and confirmed as the cause of spotty liver disease. It has also been isolated from laying hens in America. It is fastidious, grows slowly on first isolation and does not grow on media used to routinely isolate Campylobacter.

  17. Eleutherine americana extract inhibits adherence to and invasion of Caco‐2 cells by commonly contaminated Campylobacter spp. in food

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation

    • Eleutherine americana, a well‐known Asian medicinal herb, has been claimed for many biological activities. In this study, potential of E. americana ethanolic extract against adhesion and invasion of Caco‐2 cells by commonly contaminated Campylobacter spp. was evaluated. MIC50 values of E. americana extract against 39 enteritis patient and 26 chicken isolates were 125 µg/ml. Two models were set up: Model I, Prevention: Preincubation of E.

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Significance and Impact of the Study: Enterohepatic Helicobacter (EHH) infections have been associated with several diseases in humans such as acute gastroenteritis, inflammatory bowel disease and hepatobiliary diseases. Although they are frequently detected in clinical samples by molecular methods, only occasionally they are isolated using culture conditions described for the taxonomic related pathogen Campylobacter sp.

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Zearalenone (ZEA) is a common mycotoxin produced by fungi within the genus Fusarium. However, few studies have examined the direct effects of the toxin on the mammary glands. In the present study, the effects of ZEA treatment on bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T) from dairy cows were investigated.
