Antimicrobial resistance of campylobacter jejuni and campylobacter coli isolates from broiler chickens isolated at an irish poultry processing plant
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2003-05-01)Aims: The antibiotic susceptibility of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli isolates from broiler chickens were determined in order to evaluate the level of antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter species in the Irish ... -
Antimicrobial susceptibility of flavobacterium psychrophilum from chilean salmon farms and their epidemiological cut-off values using agar dilution and disk diffusion methods
(Frontiers Media SA, 2016-11-25)Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the most important bacterial pathogen for freshwater farmed salmonids in Chile. The aims of this study were to determine the susceptibility to antimicrobials used in fish farming of Chilean ... -
Co-selection of bacterial metal and antibiotic resistance in soil laboratory microcosms
(MDPI, 2023-04-18)Accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) in agricultural soil following the application of superphosphate fertilisers seems to induce resistance of soil bacteria to HMs and appears to co-select for resistance to antibiotics (Ab). ... -
Degraded land restoration in reinstating ch4 sink
(Frontiers Media SA, 2016-06-14)Methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas, contributes about one third to the global green house gas emissions. CH4-assimilating microbes (mostly methanotrophs) in upland soils play very crucial role in mitigating the CH4 ... -
Desman: a new tool for de novo extraction of strains from metagenomes
(Springer Nature, 2017-09-21)We introduce DESMAN for De novo Extraction of Strains from Metagenomes. Large multi-sample metagenomes are being generated but strain variation results in fragmentary co-assemblies. Current algorithms can bin contigs into ... -
Does bioelectrochemical cell configuration and anode potential affect biofilm response?
(Portland Press Ltd., 2012-12-01)Electrochemical gradients are the backbone of basic cellular functions, including chemo-osmotic transport and ATP synthesis. Microbial growth, terminal respiratory proteins and external electron transfer are major pathways ... -
Enterococcus faecium of the vana genotype in rural drinking water, effluent, and the aqueous environment
(American Society for Microbiology, 2011-11-18)Total enterococci and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) were enumerated in samples of effluent (n = 50) and water (n = 167) from a number of sources. VRE were detected in the outflow of a wastewater treatment plant ... -
Eradication of staphylococcus aureus biofilm infections using synthetic antimicrobial peptides
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-02-07)Here, we demonstrate that antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an effective antibiofilm treatment when applied as catheter lock solutions (CLSs) against S. aureus biofilm infections. The activity of synthetic AMPs (Bac8c, ... -
Identification of host-specific bacteroidales 16s rdna sequences from human sewage and ruminant feces
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-09-23) -
Identification of putative adhesins and carbohydrate ligands of Lactobacillus paracasei using a combinatorial in silico and glycomics microarray profiling approach
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-11-11)Commensal bacteria must colonize host mucosal surfaces to exert health-promoting properties, and bind to gastrointestinal tract (GIT) mucins via their cell surface adhesins. Considerable effort has been directed towards ... -
In vitro and in vivo plant growth promoting activities and dna fingerprinting of antagonistic endophytic actinomycetes associates with medicinal plants
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2015-09-30)Endophytic actinomycetes have shown unique plant growth promoting as well as antagonistic activity against fungal phytopathogens. In the present study forty-two endophytic actinomycetes recovered from medicinal plants were ... -
Inhibition of pulmonary nuclear factor kappa-b decreases the severity of acute escherichia coli pneumonia but worsens prolonged pneumonia
(Springer Nature, 2013-01-01)Introduction: Nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B is central to the pathogenesis of inflammation in acute lung injury, but also to inflammation resolution and repair. We wished to determine whether overexpression of the NF-kappa ... -
Integration of tio2 into the diatom thalassiosira weissflogii during frustule synthesis
(Springer Nature, 2013-11-13)Nature has inspired the design of complex hierarchical structures in the field of material science. Diatoms, unicellular algae with a hallmark intricate siliceous cell wall, have provided such a stimulus. Altering the ... -
Intracellular accumulation of high levels of -aminobutyrate by listeria monocytogenes 10403s in response to low ph: uncoupling of -aminobutyrate synthesis from efflux in a chemically defined medium
(American Society for Microbiology, 2010-04-16)It is well established that the glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) system is central to the survival of Listeria monocytogenes at low pH, both in acidic foods and within the mammalian stomach. The accepted model proposes that ... -
Isolation, abundance and phylogenetic affiliation of endophytic actinomycetes associated with medicinal plants and screening for their in vitro antimicrobial biosynthetic potential
(Frontiers Media SA, 2015-04-07)Microorganisms associated with medicinal plants are of interest as the producers of important bioactive compounds. To date, the diversity of culturable endophytic actinomycetes associated with medicinal plants is in its ... -
Long-term persistence and leaching of escherichia coli in temperate maritime soils
(American Society for Microbiology, 2009-12-28)Enteropathogen contamination of groundwater, including potable water sources, is a global concern. The spreading on land of animal slurries and manures, which can contain a broad range of pathogenic microorganisms, is ... -
