  8. NqrM (DUF539) Protein is Required for Maturation of Bacterial Na+-translocating NADH:quinone Oxidoreductase

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Na+-translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Na+-NQR) catalyzes electron transfer from NADH to ubiquinone in the bacterial respiratory chain, coupled with Na+ translocation across the membrane. Na+-NQR maturation involves covalent attachment of FMN residues, catalyzed by flavin transferase encoded by the nqr-associated apbE gene.

  10. Dissecting the structural elements for the activation of {beta}-ketoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductase from Vibrio cholerae

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • β-ketoacyl-(acyl carrier protein) reductase (FabG) catalyzes the key reductive reaction in the elongation cycle of fatty acid synthesis (FAS), which is a vital metabolic pathway in bacteria and a promising target for new antibiotic development. The activation of the enzyme is usually linked to the formation of a catalytic triad and cofactor binding, and crystal structures of FabG from different organisms have been captured in either active or inactive conformations.

  11. Housefly Larva Vermicomposting Efficiently Attenuates Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Swine Manure, with Concomitant Bacterial Population Changes [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Manure from swine treated with antimicrobials as feed additives is a major source for the expansion of the antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) reservoir in the environment. Vermicomposting via housefly larvae (Musca domestica) can be efficiently used to treat manure and regenerate biofertilizer, but few studies have investigated its effect on ARG attenuation.

  16. Effect In Vitro of Antiparasitic Drugs on Microbial Inhibitor Test Responses for Screening Antibiotic Residues in Goat's Milk

    • Journal of Food Protection

    • Romero, T. et al. Microbial inhibitor tests are widely used to screen antibiotic residues in milk; however, these tests are nonspecific and may be affected by various substances capable of inhibiting the growth of the test microorganism. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of antiparasitic drugs in goat's milk on the microbial inhibitor test response.

  21. A plasmid-borne system to assess the excision and integration of Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) mediated by CcrA and CcrB

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Resistance to methicillin and other β-lactam antibiotics in staphylococci is due to mecA, which is carried on a genomic island, SCCmec. The chromosomal excision and integration of SCCmec is mediated by the site-specific recombinases CcrAB or CcrC encoded within this element. A plasmid-borne system was constructed to assess the activities of CcrA and CcrB in the excision and integration of SCCmec in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The excision frequency in E.
