  18. NanH Is Produced by Sporulating Cultures of Clostridium perfringens Type F Food Poisoning Strains and Enhances the Cytotoxicity of C. perfringens Enterotoxin

    • mSphere

    • ABSTRACT Clostridium perfringens type F food poisoning (FP) strains cause one of the most common foodborne illnesses. This FP develops when type F FP strains sporulate in the intestines and produce C. perfringens enterotoxin (CPE), which is responsible for the diarrhea and abdominal cramps of this disease. While C.

  19. Vibrio cholerae Sialidase-Specific Immune Responses Are Associated with Protection against Cholera

    • mSphere

    • ABSTRACT Cholera remains a major public health problem in resource-limited countries. Vaccination is an important strategy to prevent cholera, but currently available vaccines provide only 3 to 5 years of protection. Understanding immune responses to cholera antigens in naturally infected individuals may elucidate which of these are key to longer-term protection seen following infection.

  20. Cryptic {beta}-Lactamase Evolution Is Driven by Low {beta}-Lactam Concentrations

    • mSphere

    • ABSTRACT Our current understanding of how low antibiotic concentrations shape the evolution of contemporary β-lactamases is limited. Using the widespread carbapenemase OXA-48, we tested the long-standing hypothesis that selective compartments with low antibiotic concentrations cause standing genetic diversity that could act as a gateway to developing clinical resistance.

  21. In Crystallo Time-Resolved Interaction of the Clostridioides difficile CDD-1 enzyme with Avibactam Provides New Insights into the Catalytic Mechanism of Class D β-lactamases

    • ACS Infectious Diseases

    • Class D β-lactamases have risen to notoriety due to their wide spread in bacterial pathogens, propensity to inactivate clinically important β-lactam antibiotics, and ability to withstand inhibition by the majority of classical β-lactamase inhibitors. Understanding the catalytic mechanism of these enzymes is thus vitally important for the development of novel antibiotics and inhibitors active against infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

  22. Plasma-Treated Water Affects Listeria monocytogenes Vitality and Biofilm Structure

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Background: Plasma-generated compounds (PGCs) such as plasma-processed air (PPA) or plasma-treated water (PTW) offer an increasingly important alternative for the control of microorganisms in hard-to-reach areas found in several industrial applications including the food industry. To this end, we studied the antimicrobial capacity of PTW on the vitality and biofilm formation of Listeria monocytogenes, a common foodborne pathogen.

  23. A High Rate of Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis and Therapeutic Failure of Azole Derivatives Among Iranian Women

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) is one of the most prevalent fungal infections in humans, especially in developing countries; however, it is underestimated and regarded as an easy-to-treat condition. RVVC may be caused by dysbiosis of the microbiome and other host-, pathogen-, and antifungal drug-related factors.

  24. Doxycycline Induces Apoptosis of Brucella Suis S2 Strain-Infected HMC3 Microglial Cells by Activating Calreticulin-Dependent JNK/p53 Signaling Pathway

    • Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology

    • Neurobrucellosis is a chronic complication of human brucellosis that is caused by the presence of Brucella spp in the central nervous system (CNS) and the inflammation play a key role on the pathogenesis. Doxycycline (Dox) is a widely used antibiotic that induces apoptosis of bacteria-infected cells. However, the mechanisms of Brucella inhibition of microglial apoptosis and Dox induction of apoptosis are still poorly understood.
