  11. The LonA protease regulates biofilm formation, motility, virulence, and the type VI secretion system in Vibrio cholerae

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The presence of the Lon protease in all three domains of life hints at its biological importance. The prokaryotic Lon is responsible for not only degrading abnormal proteins but also for carrying out proteolytic regulation of specific protein targets. Post-translational regulation by Lon is known to affect a variety of physiological traits in many bacteria, including biofilm formation, motility, and virulence. Here we identify regulatory roles of LonA in the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae.

  12. IRE1-dependent activation of AMPK promotes B. abortus intracellular growth

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a serine/threonine kinase that is well-conserved during evolution. AMPK activation inhibits production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells via suppressing NADPH oxidase. However, the role of AMPK during the process of Brucella infection remains unknown. Our data demonstrates that B. abortus infection induces AMPK activation in HeLa cells in a time-dependent manner.

  19. A Novel Botulinum Neurotoxin, Previously Reported as Serotype H, Has a Hybrid-Like Structure With Regions of Similarity to the Structures of Serotypes A and F and Is Neutralized With Serotype A Antitoxin

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • Botulism is a potentially fatal paralytic disease caused by the action of botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) on nerve cells. There are 7 known serotypes (A–G) of BoNT and up to 40 genetic variants. Clostridium botulinum strain IBCA10-7060 was recently reported to produce BoNT serotype B (BoNT/B) and a novel BoNT, designated as BoNT/H. The BoNT gene (bont) sequence of BoNT/H was compared to known bont sequences.

  20. Pectin and Xyloglucan Influence the Attachment of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes to Bacterial Cellulose-Derived Plant Cell Wall Models [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Minimally processed fresh produce has been implicated as a major source of foodborne microbial pathogens globally. These pathogens must attach to the produce in order to be transmitted. Cut surfaces of produce that expose cell walls are particularly vulnerable. Little is known about the roles that different structural components (cellulose, pectin, and xyloglucan) of plant cell walls play in the attachment of foodborne bacterial pathogens.

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O26:H11, a serotype within Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) that causes severe human disease, has been considered to have evolved from attaching and effacing E. coli (AEEC) O26:H11 through the acquisition of a Shiga toxin-encoding gene.

  24. Ethanol adaptation induces direct protection and cross protection against freezing stress in Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aims

      Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) encounters mild ethanol stress during its life cycle. However, adaptation to a stressful condition may affect bacterial resistance to subsequent stresses. Hence, this work was undertaken to investigate the influences of ethanol adaptation on stress tolerance of S. Enteritidis.
