    • Xuzheng Shan, Shengjie Lai, Hongxiu Liao, Zhongjie Li, Yajia Lan, Weizhong Yang

      Background

      From 2013 to 2017, more than one thousand avian influenza A (H7N9) confirmed cases with hundreds of deaths were reported in mainland China. To identify priorities for epidemic prevention and control, a risk assessing framework for subnational variations is needed to define the epidemic potential of A (H7N9).

  13. Multiplex Touchdown PCR assay to enhance specificity and sensitivity for concurrent detection of four foodborne pathogens in raw milk

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aims

      The aim of this study was to develop a multiplex touchdown PCR (multiplex TD‐PCR) for rapid and simultaneous detection of four major foodborne pathogens to avoid mispriming and unwanted production during gene amplification. Touchdown PCR is the modified form of standard PCR, which enhances specificity, sensitivity.

  20. Stress-Responsive Alternative Sigma Factor SigB Plays a Positive Role in the Antifungal Proficiency of Bacillus subtilis [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Different Bacillus species with PGPR (plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium) activity produce potent biofungicides and stimulate plant defense responses against phytopathogenic fungi. However, very little is known about how these PGPRs recognize phytopathogens and exhibit the antifungal response. Here, we report the antagonistic interaction between Bacillus subtilis and the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides.

  21. The PlyB Endolysin of Bacteriophage vB_BanS_Bcp1 Exhibits Broad-Spectrum Bactericidal Activity against Bacillus cereus Sensu Lato Isolates [Biotechnology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Lytic bacteriophages (or phages) drive bacterial mortality by elaborating exquisite abilities to bind, breach, and destroy bacterial cell membranes and subjugate critical bacterial cell functions. These antimicrobial activities make phages ideal candidates to serve as, or provide sources of, biological control measures for bacterial pathogens. In this study, we isolated the Myoviridae phage vB_BanS_Bcp1 (here referred to as Bcp1) from landfill soil, using a Bacillus anthracis host.
