  1. Moxifloxacin and Sulfamethoxazole-Based Nanocarriers Exhibit Potent Antibacterial Activities

    • Antibiotics

    • Antibiotic resistance is a major concern given the rapid emergence of multiple-drug-resistant bacteria compared to the discovery of novel antibacterials. An alternative strategy is enhancing the existing available drugs. Nanomedicine has emerged as an exciting area of research, showing promise in the enhanced development of existing antimicrobials. Herein, we synthesized nanocarriers and loaded these with available clinically approved drugs, namely Moxifloxacin and Sulfamethoxazole.

    • Microbiology

    • Enteric fever (caused by serovars Typhi and Paratyphi) frequently presents as an acute, undifferentiated febrile illness in returning travellers, requiring timely empirical antibiotics.

  12. Dual Transcriptomic Analyses Unveil Host–Pathogen Interactions Between Salmonella enterica Serovar Enteritidis and Laying Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos)

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Salmonella enteritidis (SE) is a pathogen that can readily infect ovarian tissues and colonize the granulosa cell layer such that it can be transmitted via eggs from infected poultry to humans in whom it can cause food poisoning. Ducks are an important egg-laying species that are susceptible to SE infection, yet the host–pathogen interactions between SE and ducks have not been thoroughly studied to date.

  14. Fate of Salmonella and Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli on Wheat Grain

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Wheat flour has been connected to outbreaks of foodborne illnesses with increased frequency in recent years, specifically, outbreaks involving Salmonella enterica and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). However, there is little information regarding the survival of these pathogens on wheat grain during long-term storage in a low-moisture environment. This study aims to evaluate the long-term survival of these enteric pathogens on wheat grain over the course of a year.

  15. Heavy Metal Resistance in Salmonella Typhimurium and Its Association With Disinfectant and Antibiotic Resistance

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Metals are widely used in animal feed for their growth-stimulating and antimicrobial effects, yet their use may potentially promote the proliferation of antibiotic resistance through co-selection. We studied the prevalence and associations of metal, antibiotic, and disinfectant resistances of 300 Salmonella Typhimurium isolates from pig meat, pig manure, chicken meat, poultry manure, and human stool from Sichuan, China.

  18. The role of bcsE gene in the pathogenicity of Salmonella

    • Pathogens and Disease

    • ABSTRACT The effects of the bcsE gene and BcsE protein on bacterial physiology and pathogenicity in SalmonellaTyphimurium and Salmonella Group C1 were investigated. It was observed that biofilm and pellicle formation did not occur in the bcsE gene mutants of wild-type strains. Besides, the ‘rdar’ (red, dry, rough) biofilm morphotype in wild-type strains changed significantly in the mutants.

  20. Discovery and Bioactivity of the Novel Lasso Peptide Microcin Y

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Lasso peptides, a class of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) secreted by bacteria, have antimicrobial activity. Here, a novel lasso peptide, microcin Y (MccY), was discovered and characterized. The gene cluster for MccY synthesis was cloned for expression in Escherichia coli. This peptide was purified by HPLC and characterized by Q-TOF.
