  1. Redox, amino acid, and fatty acid metabolism intersect with bacterial virulence in the gut [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • The gut metabolic landscape is complex and is influenced by the microbiota, host physiology, and enteric pathogens. Pathogens have to exquisitely monitor the biogeography of the gastrointestinal tract to find a suitable niche for colonization. To dissect the important metabolic pathways that influence virulence of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), we...

  8. Highly Pathogenic Clone of Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli O157:H7, England and Wales

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • We used whole-genome sequencing to investigate the evolutionary context of an emerging highly pathogenic strain of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 in England and Wales. A timed phylogeny of sublineage IIb revealed that the emerging clone evolved from a STEC O157:H7 stx-negative ancestor ≈10 years ago after acquisition of a bacteriophage encoding Shiga toxin (stx) 2a, which in turn had evolved from a stx2c progenitor ≈20 years ago.

  17. Evaluation of Antimicrobial Action of Chitosan and Acetic Acid on Broiler Cecal Bacterial Profiles in Anaerobic Cultures Inoculated With Salmonella Typhimurium

    • Journal of Applied Poultry Research

    • SUMMARYChitosan is known to have antimicrobial properties against a range of microbes. In this study, three different molecular weight (MW) chitosan preparations were used: low (LMW), medium (MMW), and coarse (CMW), in acetic acid (AA) as carrier to elucidate antimicrobial effects. Broiler cecal contents were inoculated with 105 CFU of S. Typhimurium and cultured anaerobically at 40°C with AA, LMW, MMW, or CMW.
