Genomic Epidemiology of Carbapenemase Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Strains at a Northern Portuguese Hospital Enables the Detection of a Misidentified Klebsiella variicola KPC-3 Producing StrainMicroorganisms - Tập 8 Số 12 - Trang 1986

The evolutionary epidemiology, resistome, virulome and mobilome of thirty-one multidrug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates from the northern Vila Real region of Portugal were characterized using whole-genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. The genomic population structure was dominated by two main sequence types (STs): ST147 (n = 17; 54.8%) and ST15 (n = 6; 19.4%) com...... hiện toàn bộ
Bacteriophage and the Innate Immune System: Access and SignalingMicroorganisms - Tập 7 Số 12 - Trang 625
Amanda Carroll‐Portillo, Henry C. Lin
Bacteriophage and the bacteria they infect are the dominant members of the gastrointestinal microbiome. While bacteria are known to be central to maintenance of the structure, function, and health of the microbiome, it has only recently been recognized that phage too might serve a critical function. Along these lines, bacteria are not the only cells that are influenced by bacteriophage, an...... hiện toàn bộ
JAK-STAT Inhibitors in Atopic Dermatitis from Pathogenesis to Clinical Trials ResultsMicroorganisms - Tập 8 Số 11 - Trang 1743
Krzysztof Szalus, Magdalena Trzeciak, Roman Nowicki
A common disease worldwide is known as atopic dermatitis (AD), named also as atopic eczema, which is a chronic recurrent complex inflammatory skin disorder. It affects 2–10% of the adult population and up to 20% of the pediatric population. The clinical AD picture appears in typically localized eczema and dry skin, and is dominated by a persistent pruritus followed by sleep disturbances. A...... hiện toàn bộ
Relevance of Biofilm Models in Periodontal Research: From Static to Dynamic SystemsMicroorganisms - Tập 9 Số 2 - Trang 428
María C. Sánchez, Andrea Alonso‐Español, Honorato Ribeiro‐Vidal, Bettina Alonso, David Herrera, Mariano Sanz
Microbial biofilm modeling has improved in sophistication and scope, although only a limited number of standardized protocols are available. This review presents an example of a biofilm model, along with its evolution and application in studying periodontal and peri-implant diseases. In 2011, the ETEP (Etiology and Therapy of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases) research group at the Uni...... hiện toàn bộ
Possible Interactions between Malaria, Helminthiases and the Gut Microbiota: A Short ReviewMicroorganisms - Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 721
Jean d’Amour Mutoni, Jean‐Paul Coutelier, Nadine Rujeni, Léon Mutesa, Patrice D. Cani
Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium species, is an infectious disease responsible for more than 600 thousand deaths and more than 200 million morbidity cases annually. With above 90% of those deaths and cases, sub-Saharan Africa is affected disproportionately. Malaria clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic to simple, mild, and severe disease. External factors such as the gut microbi...... hiện toàn bộ
Taking Advantage of Bacterial Adaptation in Order to Optimize Industrial Production of Dry Propionibacterium freudenreichiiMicroorganisms - Tập 7 Số 10 - Trang 477

Propionibacterium freudenreichii is a beneficial bacterium, used both as a probiotic and as a cheese starter. Large-scale production of P. freudenreichii is required to meet growing consumers’ demand. Production, drying and storage must be optimized, in order to guarantee high P. freudenreichii viability within powders. Compared to freeze-drying, spray drying constitutes the most productiv...... hiện toàn bộ
Renin Angiotensin System, COVID-19 and Male Fertility: Any Risk for Conceiving?Microorganisms - Tập 8 Số 10 - Trang 1492

The current knowledge concerning the connection between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) system in the male reproductive apparatus is still limited, so dedicated studies are urgently required. Concerns about the male fertility consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection have started to emerge, since epidemiologic studies observed ...... hiện toàn bộ
Probiotic Effects of a Novel Strain, Acinetobacter KU011TH, on the Growth Performance, Immune Responses, and Resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila of Bighead Catfish (Clarias macrocephalus Günther, 1864)Microorganisms - Tập 7 Số 12 - Trang 613
Anurak Bunnoy, Uthairat Na‐Nakorn, Prapansak Srisapoome
In the present study, the novel probiotic strain Acinetobacter KU011TH with an evident lack of pathogenicity in catfish was experimented. Three practical administration routes, namely, feed additive (FD), water-soluble additive (SOL), and a combination route (FD+SOL), were applied in two sizes of catfish. After 120 days of FD+SOL administration, catfish fingerlings (15 g) exhibited a signi...... hiện toàn bộ
Yeasts and Lactic Acid Bacteria for Panettone Production: An Assessment of Candidate StrainsMicroorganisms - Tập 9 Số 5 - Trang 1093
Luciana De Vero, Giovanna Iosca, Salvatore La China, Fabio Licciardello, Maria Gullo, Andrea Pulvirenti
The recovery of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) involved in sourdough fermentation is the first step in the selection of starters with suitable technological aptitude and capable of producing desired aromas and/or aromatic precursors. In this work, two sourdoughs samples (MA and MB) and the derived doughs (samples A and B) were collected from a bakery during artisanal Panettone manuf...... hiện toàn bộ
