  15. Two DsbA Proteins Are Important for Vibrio parahaemolyticus Pathogenesis

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Bacterial pathogens maintain disulfide bonds for protein stability and functions that are required for pathogenesis. Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative pathogen that causes food-borne gastroenteritis and is also an important opportunistic pathogen of aquatic animals. Two genes encoding the disulfide bond formation protein A, DsbA, are predicted to be encoded in the V. parahaemolyticus genome. DsbA plays an important role in Vibrio cholerae virulence but its role in V.

  20. Short communication: Persistent contamination by Listeria monocytogenes of bovine raw milk investigated by whole-genome sequencing

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Following the persistent detection of Listeria monocytogenes in raw bovine milk sold through a vending machine, the 120 lactating cows of the herd producing the milk were subjected to bacteriological investigation. A single cow with subclinical mastitis (1.2–1.3 × 105 somatic cells/mL) and persistent L. monocytogenes excretion was detected. The cow was subjected to antimicrobial therapy, but L. monocytogenes excretion remained high (>3.0 × 102 cfu/mL).

  24. Characterization of beta‐lactamase and biofilm producing Enterobacteriaceae isolated from organized and backyard farm ducks

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      The present study was undertaken to detect the occurrence of beta‐lactamase and biofilm producing Enterobacteriaceae in healthy ducks. A total 202 cloacal swabs were collected from ducks kept in organized (n=92) and backyard (n=110) farms in West Bengal (India). The ducks had no history of antibiotic intake. Among the 87 phenotypically beta‐lactamase producing E. coli, 19 (17·43%), six (5·05%) and 15 (13·76%) isolates possessed bla
