Genotyping and plant-derived glycan utilization analysis of Bifidobacterium strains from mother-infant pairsBMC Microbiology - Tập 20 - Trang 1-9 - 2020
Zeyu Kan, Baolong Luo, Jingjing Cai, Yan Zhang, Fengwei Tian, Yongqing Ni
Bifidobacteria are important probiotics; some of the beneficial effects of bifidobacteria are achieved by the hydrolysis of glycans in the human gut. However, because the diet of breastfed infants typically lacks plant-derived glycans, in the gut environment of mothers and their breastfed infants, the mother will intake a variety of plant-derived glycans, such as from onions and bananas, through h...... hiện toàn bộ
Identification of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae based on biomarkers and Galleria mellonella infection modelBMC Microbiology - Tập 23 - Trang 1-15 - 2023

Currently, clinical laboratories lack an effective method to differentiate between classical Klebsiella pneumoniae (cKP) and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) strains, leading to delays in diagnosing and treating hvKP infections. Previous studies have identified peg-344, iroB, iucA, prmpA, prmpA2, and siderophores (SP) yields greater than 30 μg/ml as reliable markers for distinguishing hv...... hiện toàn bộ
The rumen eukaryotome is a source of novel antimicrobial peptides with therapeutic potentialBMC Microbiology - Tập 21 - Trang 1-13 - 2021

The rise of microbial antibiotic resistance is a leading threat to the health of the human population. As such, finding new approaches to tackle these microbes, including development of novel antibiotics is vital. In this study, we mined a rumen eukaryotic metatranscriptomic library for novel Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) using computational approaches and thereafter characterised the therapeutic ...... hiện toàn bộ
Linking genome content to biofuel production yields: a meta-analysis of major catabolic pathways among select H2and ethanol-producing bacteriaBMC Microbiology - Tập 12 - Trang 1-21 - 2012
Carlo R Carere, Thomas Rydzak, Tobin J Verbeke, Nazim Cicek, David B Levin, Richard Sparling
Fermentative bacteria offer the potential to convert lignocellulosic waste-streams into biofuels such as hydrogen (H2) and ethanol. Current fermentative H2 and ethanol yields, however, are below theoretical maxima, vary greatly among organisms, and depend on the extent of metabolic pathways utilized. For fermentative H2 and/or ethanol production to become practical, biofuel yields must be increase...... hiện toàn bộ

Abstract
Background
Bacteriocins are very diverse group of antimicrobial peptides produced by a wide range of bacteria and known for their inhibitory activity against various human and animal pathogens. Although many bacteriocins are now well characterized, much information is still missing or is...... hiện toàn bộ
H-NS controls metabolism and stress tolerance in Escherichia coli O157:H7 that influence mouse passageBMC Microbiology - Tập 6 - Trang 1-12 - 2006
Irfan Erol, Kwang-Cheol Jeong, David J Baumler, Boris Vykhodets, Sang Ho Choi, Charles W Kaspar
H-NS is a DNA-binding protein with central roles in gene regulation and nucleoid structuring in Escherichia coli. There are over 60 genes that are influenced by H-NS many of which are involved in metabolism. To determine the significance of H-NS-regulated genes in metabolism and stress tolerance, an hns mutant of E. coli O157:H7 was generated (hns::nptI, FRIK47001P) and its growth, metabolism, and...... hiện toàn bộ
The synergistic effect of minocycline and azole antifungal drugs against Scedosporium and Lomentospora speciesBMC Microbiology - Tập 22 - Trang 1-7 - 2022
Fang Yang, Yi Sun, Qiaoyun Lu
This study was aimed to determine the potency of Minocycline (MIN) and azoles, including itraconazole (ITR), voriconazole (VOR) and posaconazole (POS) against Scedosporium and Lomentospora species. This study revealed that MIN exhibited no significant antifungal activity against any of the tested strains, whereas in vitro combination of MIN with ITR, VOR or POS showed satisfactory synergistic effe...... hiện toàn bộ
