Environment and virulence factors of vibrio cholerae strains isolated in Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2007-07)
Aims: To determine the presence of Vibrio cholerae in different areas of Argentina in three sample types, to determine the composition of planktonic communities in areas at which this pathogen was detected and to characterize ...
Brucella alters the immune response in a prpA-dependent manner
(Academic Press Ltd-elsevier Science Ltd, 2014-01)
Brucellosis, a disease caused by the gram-negative bacterium Brucella spp., is a widespread zoonosis that inflicts important animal and human health problems, especially in developing countries. One of the hallmarks of ...
Inhibitory action of essential oils against proteases activity of Paenibacillus larvae, the etiological agent of American Foulbrood disease
(Spanish National Institute for Agriculture and Food Research and Technology, 2017-11)
American foulbrood (AFB) is a disease affecting the larva of Apis mellifera. The etiological agent is Paenibacillus larvae, which releases metalloproteases involved in the degradation of larval tissues. Through quorum ...
Interference in Staphylococcus aureus biofilm and virulence factors production by human probiotic bacteria with antimutagenic activity
(Springer, 2022-01)
Given that Staphylococcus aureus, an opportunistic pathogen, is one of the main etiological agents that causes various hospital and community infections associated with the production of virulence factors, emerging treatment ...
Plant growth-promoting genes can switch to be virulence factors via horizontal gene transfer
(Springer, 2018-10)
There are increasing evidences that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a critical mechanism of bacterial evolution, while its complete impact remains unclear. A main constraint of HGT effects on microbial evolution seems ...
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia phenotypic and genotypic features through 4-year cystic fibrosis lung colonization
(Society for General Microbiology, 2020-12)
Introduction. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has emerged as one of the most common multi-drug-resistant pathogens isolated from people with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, its adaptation over time to CF lungs has not been ...
Acinetobacter defence mechanims against biological aggressors and their use as alternative therapeutic applications
(Informa Healthcare, 2021-08)
Several Acinetobacter strains are important nosocomial pathogens, with Acinetobacter baumannii being the species of greatest worldwide concern due to its multi-drug resistance and the recent appearance of hyper-virulent ...
Kefiran protects Caco-2 cells from cytopathic effects induced by Bacillus cereus infection
(Springer, 2009-07-25)
The aim of this work was to evaluate the ability of kefiran to antagonize cytopathic effects triggered by Bacillus cereus strain B10502 on cultured human enterocytes (Caco-2 cells). Cell damage was evaluated by F-actin ...
Salmonella Typhimurium general virulence factors: a battle of David against Goliath?
(Elsevier Science, 2012)
Enhanced virulence of Beauveria bassiana against Diatraea saccharalis using a soluble recombinant enzyme with endo- and exochitinase activity
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2020-05)
Beauveria bassiana chitinases are involved in degrading the chitin in insects’ exoskeletons and internal structures, and thus are important virulence factors as they participate in initial to final steps of infection. In ...
