  2. Comparison of Flow Injection-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS for the Determination of Ochratoxin A

    • Toxins

    • Two methods for measuring ochratoxin A in corn, oat, and grape juice were developed and compared. Flow injection (FI) and on-line liquid chromatography (LC) performances were evaluated separately, with both methods using a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS) for quantitation. Samples were fortified with 13C uniformly labeled ochratoxin A as the internal standard (13C-IS) and prepared by dilution and filtration, followed by FI- and LC-MS/MS analysis.

  3. Evaluation of the Performances of the Rapid Test RESIST-5 O.O.K.N.V Used for the Detection of Carbapenemases-Producing Enterobacterales

    • Antibiotics

    • The emergence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a public health problem, requiring rapid and reliable diagnostic methods. The aim is to compare the new rapid immunochromatographic (IC) test: RESIST-5 O.O.K.N.V with PCR and the predictive model of EUCAST algorithm for the detection of CPE.

  4. Direct Testing for KPC-Mediated Carbapenem Resistance from Blood Samples Using a T2 Magnetic Resonance Based Assay

    • Antibiotics

    • Molecular-based carbapenem resistance testing in Gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections (BSIs) is currently limited because of the reliance on positive blood culture (BC) samples. The T2Resistance™ panel may now allow the detection of carbapenemase- and other β-lactamase encoding genes directly from blood samples.

  13. Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals Key Genes for Differential Lead Accumulation and Tolerance in Natural Arabidopsis thaliana Accessions

    • Frontiers in Plant Science

    • Soil contamination by lead (Pb) has become one of the major ecological threats to the environment. Understanding the mechanisms of Pb transport and deposition in plants is of great importance to achieve a global Pb reduction. We exposed a collection of 360 Arabidopsis thaliana natural accessions to a Pb-polluted soil. Germination rates, growth, and leaf Pb concentrations showed extensive variation among accessions.

  14. The Flower-Infecting Fungus Ustilaginoidea virens Subverts Plant Immunity by Secreting a Chitin-Binding Protein

    • Frontiers in Plant Science

    • Ustilaginoidea virens is a biotrophic fungal pathogen specifically colonizing rice floral organ and causes false smut disease of rice. This disease has emerged as a serious problem that hinders the application of high-yield rice cultivars, by reducing grain yield and quality as well as introducing mycotoxins. However, the pathogenic mechanisms of U. virens are still enigmatic. Here we demonstrate that U. virens employs a secreted protein UvCBP1 to manipulate plant immunity.

  18. The Brucella effector BspL targets the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway and delays bacterial egress from infected cells

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Perturbation of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a central organelle of the cell, can have critical consequences for cellular homeostasis. An elaborate surveillance system known as ER quality control ensures that cells can respond and adapt to stress via the unfolded protein response (UPR) and that only correctly assembled proteins reach...

  20. Occurrence and concentration of mycotoxins in maize dried distillers’ grains produced in Brazil

    • World Mycotoxin Journal

    • The presence of mycotoxins in dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS), a by-product of bioethanol production from maize, has been a matter of concern due to the increasing global utilisation of this ingredient in animal feed. In this study, 186 samples of maize DDGS produced in Brazil were analysed for the presence of major mycotoxins: aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2), fumonisins (B1 and B2), zearalenone (ZEN), deoxynivalenol (DON) and ochratoxin A (OTA).

  22. In Vitro Effects of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins and Lytic Extracellular Compounds Produced by Alexandrium Strains on Hemocyte Integrity and Function in Mytilus edulis

    • Toxins

    • Harmful effects caused by the exposure to paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and bioactive extracellular compounds (BECs) on bivalves are frequently difficult to attribute to one or the other compound group. We evaluate and compare the distinct effects of PSTs extracted from Alexandrium catenella (Alex5) cells and extracellular lytic compounds (LCs) produced by A. tamarense (NX-57-08) on Mytilus edulis hemocytes.
