  10. IscR regulates synthesis of CFA/I fimbriae in response to iron starvation in Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Iron availability functions as an environmental cue for enteropathogenic bacteria, signaling arrival within the human host. As Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are a major cause of human diarrhea, the effect of iron on ETEC virulence factors was evaluated here. ETEC pathogenicity is directly linked to production of fimbrial colonization factors and secretion of heat-labile (LT) and/or heat-stable (ST) enterotoxins.

  13. Quantification of viable but nonculturable Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. during sludge anaerobic digestion and their reactivation during cake storage

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Aims
      The presence of viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacterial pathogens which often fail to be detected by cultivation and can regain the cultivability if the living conditions improve were reported. The objective of this study is to determine the occurrence of VBNC Salmonella spp. and Shigella spp. in the biosolids during anaerobic digestion and its reactivation during the cake storage.

  16. Gene expression profiles of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the early stationary phase

    • Letters in Applied Microbiology

    • Vibrio (V.) parahaemolyticus is an aquatic bacterium capable of causing foodborne gastroenteritis. In the environment or the food chain, V. parahaemolyticus cells are usually forced into the stationary phase, the common phase for bacterial survival in the environment. So far, little is known about whole genomic expression of V. parahaemolyticus in the early stationary phase compared with the exponential growth phase.

  17. Listeria arpJ Gene Modifies T Helper Type 2 Subset Differentiation

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • Background. Although the T-cell subset differentiation pathway has been characterized extensively from the view of host gene regulation, the effects of genes of the pathogen on T-cell subset differentiation during infection have yet to be elucidated. Especially, the bacterial genes that are responsible for this shift have not yet been determined.

  25. Bacteriophages and bacteriophage derived endolysins as potential therapeutics to combat gram positive spore forming bacteria

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Since their discovery in 1915, bacteriophages have been routinely used within Eastern Europe to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Although initially ignored by the West due to the success of antibiotics, increasing levels and diversity of antibiotic resistance is driving a renaissance for bacteriophage derived therapy, which is in part due to the highly specific nature of bacteriophages as well as their relative abundance.
