    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • AbstractBackgroundThe bacterial pathogen Vibrio vulnificus causes severe septic foodborne infections. The multifunctional autoprocessing repeats-in-toxins (MARTX) toxin is an important secreted virulence factor. The effector domain region is essential for lethal intestinal infection in mice, but the contribution of each of the 5 effector domains to infection has not been investigated.MethodsV.

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTThe objective of this experiment was to study the effects of dietary zinc (Zn) source on gene expression of Zn transporters (metallothionein [MT], ZIP 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14, and ZnT 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10) in the jejunum and cecal tonsils of broilers challenged with coccidia or coccidia plus Clostridium perfringens.

  15. Comparison of performance and feed digestibility of the non-antibiotic feed supplement (Novacid) and an antibiotic growth promoter in broiler chickens

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTAntibiotic growth promoters have been widely used in poultry to improve overall performance. The emergence of antibiotic resistance has resulted in sanctions imposed on the use of antibiotics in poultry diets, and alternatives such as herbal extracts are being considered to improve growth performance.

  16. The effect of some natural alternative to antibiotics on growth and changes in intestinal histology in broiler exposed to Salmonella challenge

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTThis study was conducted to find the effect of different feed additives on the production performance and intestinal histology in Salmonella challenged birds. A total of 600 day-old-broiler chicks (Ross 308) were assignment to 10 treatments. Each treatment was further divided into 10 replicates.

  17. Evolution of intestinal microbiota and body compartments during spontaneous hyperphagia in the Greylag goose

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTThe aim of this work was to study the effects of spontaneous hyperphagia on the evolution of intestinal microbiota and body compartments in old goose. From October 25th to November 26th, 5-yr-old breeding Greylag Landaise geese (106 males and 106 females) were fed with grass during 1 mo (G period). From November 26th (0 d) the birds had ad libitum access to pellets (AMEn: 10.5 MJ/kg, CP: 18.9 g/kg; spontaneous fattening (SF) period).

  20. Interleukin-22 promotes phagolysosomal fusion to induce protection against Salmonella enterica Typhimurium in human epithelial cells [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) play a key role in regulating immune responses and controlling infection. However, the direct role of IECs in restricting pathogens remains incompletely understood. Here, we provide evidence that IL-22 primed intestinal organoids derived from healthy human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSCs) to restrict Salmonella enterica serovar...

  24. [ASAP] Structural and Biochemical Characterization of the Curcumin-Reducing Activity of CurA from Vibrio vulnificus

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Curcumin is a yellow-colored ingredient in dietary spice turmeric (Curcuma longa Linn). This nontoxic polyphenol has antitumor, anti-inflammatory, apoptotic, and antioxidant activities. The ingested curcumin is reduced to multihydrated forms with more potent therapeutic potentials by the curcumin reductase (CurA) from commensal Escherichia coli. In this study, we demonstrated that Vibrio vulnificus CurA (VvCurA) with 87% sequence similarity to the E.

  25. The manganese-dependent pyruvate kinase PykM is required for wild-type glucose utilization by Brucella abortus 2308 and its virulence in C

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Pyruvate kinase plays a central role in glucose catabolism in bacteria, and efficient utilization of this hexose has been linked to the virulence of Brucella strains in mice. The brucellae produce a single pyruvate kinase which is an ortholog of the Bradyrhizobium manganese (Mn)-dependent pyruvate kinase PykM. Biochemical analysis of the Brucella pyruvate kinase and phenotypic analysis of a B.
