Prophylaxis of disease caused by bacterial pathogens of man
… is thought to be the most widely distributed bacterial pathogen and is the most important Clostridial species associated with enteric disease in domesticated animals. During warfare C. perfringens has been a significant causes of mortality. Between 1 and 10% of wounded personnel developed gas …

Genomics Approaches to Improve the Recovery of Bacterial Pathogens in Foods
… vehicles for transmission of infectious bacterial pathogens. Reliable methods for detecting these organisms would ultimately result in fewer contaminated products released into the marketplace. Leveraging genomics tools such as whole genome sequencing (WGS) and metagenomics within the …

Novel Functions of ATG16L1 in the Innate Response to Invasive Bacterial Pathogens
… and NOD2, which are intracellular sensors of bacterial invasion. Secondly, we identified an interaction between complement C3, the central component of the complement cascade, and ATG16L1. This interaction allows for efficient targeting of complement C3-coated invasive pathogens to the …

Novel Aspects of the Response to Cellular Stress and Intracellular Bacterial Pathogens
… stress and infection by intracellular bacterial pathogens. We first highlight that various components of the machinery responsible for mRNA splicing undergo dynamic reorganization into cytoplasmic granules known as U snRNA (U) bodies during metabolic stress and infection. The formation …

Understanding the Evolution of Emerging Bacterial Pathogens in Response to Host Resistance
… difficult to model and predict. That microbial pathogens and their hosts are in a close coevolutionary relationship has been evident since the early days of our understanding of disease, but it is only relatively recently that the ecological, molecular, genomic and bioinformatic tools all …

Nucleic acid modifications in bacterial pathogens - impact on pathogenesis, diagnosis, and therapy
… are unique to bacteria, including many human pathogens. Given the enormous global disease burden due to bacterial infections, and the rapidly increasing rates of antibiotic resistance reported across the world, the need for research to address mechanisms of bacterial survival is more pressing …

Isolation of Bacterial pathogens from dead- in- shell Chicken embryos from local Hatcheries
… in Zambia, but no information is available on bacterial association with dead-in-shell mortality in hatcheries. Hence investigation into three commercial hatcheries of Zambia was made to find out the role of bacterial pathogens in embryonic mortality and hatchability. These hatcheries had an …

Cytokinin-mediated processes promote heat-induced disease susceptibility of plants to bacterial pathogens
… less susceptible at elevated temperatures to the bacterial pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 (Pst DC3000). My results show that ahk2,3 plants are less susceptible under high temperature conditions with Pst DC3000 populations proliferating at a lower rate compared to wild-type plants …

Investigation of O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase enzymes from bacterial pathogens as potential drug targets
… Among the most concerning drug-resistant pathogens are Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Staphylococcus aureus, both of which lack a functional sulfate reduction pathway, rendering them reliant on alternative sulfur acquisition mechanisms. A key enzyme in the de novo biosynthesis of L-cysteine, …

Effects of UV Irradiation on the Reduction of Bacterial Pathogens and Chemical Indicators of Milk
… of milk. The influence of temperature on bacterial reduction in UV irradiated milk was tested. Commercially processed skim, reduced fat (2%), and whole milk samples were inoculated with a naladixic acid resistant E. coli O157:H7 surrogate (ATCC 25922), maintained at or brought to 4oC and …

Elucidation of the pathways responsible for the biosynthesis of UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine in bacterial pathogens
The highly-modified, bacterial sugar N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine (diNAcBac) has been implicated in the pathogenicity of certain microbes through its incorporation onto various protein virulence factors. In particular, diNAcBac is found at the reducing end of glycans in both asparagine (N-linked) and …

Study of PVCA and PVCB, two enzymes involved in making isonitrile-containing natural products in bacterial pathogens
Isonitriles, with an unusual functionality, are very versatile intermediates widely involved in organic synthesis. Interestingly, a variety of isonitriles were encountered in both marine and terrestrial systems as the naturally occurring metabolites. Many of them were isolated as antibiotics; many …

The investigation of bacterial pathogens of the red macroalga gracilaria gracilis and its response to bacterial infection
… the causes of these collapses is thought to be bacterial disease about which there is very little known. The bacterial pathogens of this macroalga were thus investigated to determine the nature of disease occurrence and how G. gracilis responds to such infections. A large number of culturable …

EVALUATION OF TWO ORAL PROBIOTIC PRODUCTS FOR MICROBIAL VIABILITY AND IN VITRO INHIBITION OF SELECTED PERIODONTAL BACTERIAL PATHOGENS.
… of oral probiotic products involves use of known bacterial antagonisms to alter the ecologic environment in periodontal pockets from one inhabited by pathogenic dental plaque microorganisms to one more favorable to colonization by non-pathogenic species (bacterial replacement). Until recently, the …

Achieving protective immunitity against intracellular bacterial pathogens : a study on the efficiency of Gp96 as a vaccine carrier
Protective vaccination against intracellular pathogens using HSP fusion proteins in the listeria model.

Detection of zoonotic bacterial pathogens in multiple hosts using a microbiome approach and molecular characterization of Anaplasma phagocytophilum
… clinics. Recent research suggested that zoonotic pathogens either rodent-borne or tick-borne may be common aetiologies of febrile illness in the community. The study had shown that patients presenting with non-malarial AFI had prior exposure to Bartonella spp., spotted fever group Rickettsia, …

Synthesis and Characterisation of Metallic Nanoparticles from Medicinal Plant Extracts and their Application in combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacterial Pathogens
… The rise of antibiotic-resistant (ABR) bacterial pathogens is a major global health concern, especially in the case of respiratory tract infections (RTIs), which can make treatment more difficult. According to statistics, more than 2 million lives were lost due to ABR bacterial …

Novel approaches to the low-cost, portable and rapid detection of bacterial pathogens in foods and food-processing environments
… and in industrial environments. The presence of pathogens in dairy products constitutes great risk for increased exposure, illness and reduces overall quality of the foodstream. As a result, emphasis has been placed on adapting or developing sensitive techniques to rapidly detect notable …
