    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The riboflavin analogs roseoflavin (RoF) and 8-demethyl-8-aminoriboflavin (AF) are produced by the bacteria Streptomyces davawensis and Streptomyces cinnabarinus. Riboflavin analogs have the potential to be used as broad-spectrum antibiotics and we therefore studied the metabolism of riboflavin (vitamin B2), RoF and AF in the human pathogen Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium which is a riboflavin auxotroph. We show that the L.

  6. Characterization of Vibrio cholerae Strains Isolated from the Nigerian Cholera Outbreak in 2010 [Bacteriology]

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • We examined clinical samples from Nigerian patients with acute watery diarrhea for Vibrio cholerae during the 2010 cholera outbreak. A total of 109 suspected isolates were characterized, but only 57 V. cholerae strains could be confirmed using multiplex real-time PCR as well as rpoB sequencing and typed as V. cholerae O:1 Ogawa biotype El Tor. This finding highlighted the need for accurate diagnosis of cholera in epidemic countries to implement life-saving interventions.

    • Journal of Food Safety

    • Abstract

      The inhibition capacity of four combinations of three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum and Carnobacterium piscicola) has been demonstrated against Listeria monocytogenes in fresh farmed sea bass fillets artificially contaminated. The four combinations gave promising results, having a significant bacteriostatic effect against all tested microflora, during 21 days of vacuum storage at 4 °C.

    • Eurosurveillance

    • In summer 2013, an excess of paediatric cases of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) in a southern region of Italy prompted the investigation of a community-wide outbreak of Shiga toxin 2-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O26:H11 infections. Case finding was based on testing patients with HUS or bloody diarrhoea for STEC infection by microbiological and serological methods. A case-control study was conducted to identify the source of the outbreak.

    • Infections due to clonal expansion of highly virulent bacterial strains are clear and present threats to human and animal health. Association of genetic changes with disease is now a routine, but identification of causative mutations that enable disease remains difficult. Campylobacter jejuni is an important zoonotic pathogen transmitted to humans...

  22. Emergence of a competence reducing filamentous phage from the genome of Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Bacterial genomes commonly contain prophage sequences as a result of past infections with lysogenic phages. Many of these integrated viral sequences are believed to be cryptic, but prophage genes are sometimes co-opted by the host, and some prophages may be re-activated to form infectious particles when cells are stressed or mutate. We found that a previously uncharacterized filamentous phage emerged from the genome of Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1 during a laboratory evolution experiment.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Klebsiella pneumoniae, one of the most important nosocomial pathogens, is becoming a major problem in health care because of its resistance to multiple antibiotics including cephalosporins of the latest generation and more recently even carbapenems. This is largely due to the spread of plasmid-coded extended spectrum β-lactamases.
