In vivo monitoring of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm infections and antimicrobial therapy by [18F]fluoro-deoxyglucose–MicroPET in a mouse model
A mouse model was developed for in vivo monitoring of infection and the effect of antimicrobial treatment against Staphylococcus aureus biofilms, using the [18F]fluoro-deoxyglucose–MicroPET ([18F]FDG-MicroPET) image ... -
Inactivation of the Thymidylate synthase thyA in non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae modulates antibiotic resistance and has a strong impact on its interplay with the host airways
Antibacterial treatment with cotrimoxazol (TxS), a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, generates resistance by, among others, acquisition of thymidine auxotrophy associated with mutations in the thymidylate ... -
Increased bioethanol production from commercial tobacco cultivars overexpressing thioredoxin f grown under field conditions
Bioethanol is mainly produced from food crops such as sugar cane and maize while it has been held partly responsible for the rise of food commodity prices. Tobacco, integrated in biorefinery facilities for the extraction ... -
Increased biofilm formation by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae isolates from patients with invasive disease or otitis media versus strains recovered from cases of respiratory infections
Biofilm formation by nontypeable (NT) Haemophilus influenzae remains a controversial topic. Nevertheless, biofilm-like structures have been observed in the middle-ear mucosa of experimental chinchilla models of otitis media ... -
Influence of crop load on the expression patterns of starch metabolism genes in alternate-bearing citrus trees
The fruit is the main sink organ in Citrus and captures almost all available photoassimilates during its development. Consequently, carbohydrate partitioning and starch content depend on the crop load of Citrus trees. ... -
Intra- and intergenerational persistence of an insect nucleopolyhedrovirus: adverse effects of sublethal disease on host development, reproduction, and susceptibility to superinfection
Sublethal infections by Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV) are common in field populations of the beet armyworm (S. exigua, Hübner) in the Almerian horticultural region of Spain. Inoculation of ... -
Isotopic composition of maize as related to N-fertilization and irrigation in the Mediterranean region
(Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", Universidade de São Paulo, 2011) Artículo / ArtikuluaNitrate leaching as a result of excessive application of N-fertilizers and water use is a major problem of vulnerable regions. The farming of maize requires high N fertilization and water inputs in Spain. Isotopic ... -
Killing niche competitors by remote-control bacteriophage induction
A surprising example of interspecies competition is the production by certain bacteria of hydrogen peroxide at concentrations that are lethal for others. A case in point is the displacement of Staphylococcus aureus by ... -
Klebsiella pneumoniae outer membrane protein A is required to prevent the activation of airway epithelial cells
Outer membrane protein A (OmpA) is a class of proteins highly conserved among the Enterobacteriaceae family and throughout evolution. Klebsiella pneumoniae is a capsulated Gram-negative pathogen. It is an important cause ... -
Lacanobia oleracea nucleopolyhedrovirus (LaolNPV): a new European species of alphabaculovirus with a narrow host range
During an insect sampling program in alfalfa crops near Montpellier, France in 2011, Lacanobia oleracea larvae were collected that died due to nucleopolyhedrovirus infection (LaolNPV). This virus was subjected to molecular ... -
Lack of relationship between Visna/maedi infection and scrapie resistance genetic markers
(Instituto Nacional de Investigacion y Tecnologia Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2014) Artículo / ArtikuluaThe relationship between Visna/maedi virus (VMV) antibody status and scrapie genetic resistance of 10,611 Rasa Aragonesa sheep from 17 flocks in Aragón (Spain) was investigated. The fifteen most common PRNP gene haplotypes and ... -
Lack of the PGA exopolysaccharide in Salmonella as an adaptive trait for survival in the host
Many bacteria build biofilm matrices using a conserved exopolysaccharide named PGA or PNAG (poly-β-1,6-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine). Interestingly, while E. coli and other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae encode the ... -
Leaf δ15N as a physiological indicator of the responsiveness of N2-fixing alfalfa plants to elevated CO2, temperature and low water availability
The natural 15N/14N isotope composition (δ15N) of a tissue is a consequence of its N source and N physiological mechanisms in response to the environment. It could potentially be used as a tracer of N metabolism in plants ... -
Lentinula edodes β-glucan enriched diet induces pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophages in rabbit
β-glucans exhibited in cell walls of several pathogens as bacteria or fungi are sensed by pathogen recognition receptors such as scavenger receptors present in antigen presenting cells, i.e., macrophages. β-glucans obtained ... -
The lipopolysaccharide core of Brucella abortus acts as a shield against innate immunity recognition
Innate immunity recognizes bacterial molecules bearing pathogen-associated molecular patterns to launch inflammatory responses leading to the activation of adaptive immunity. However, the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the ... -
Maedi-visna virus infection of ovine mammary epithelial cells
The aim of this work was to perform a complete study of maedi-visna virus (MVV) infected mammary glands of naturally-infected sheep, and to determine if cells other than macrophages undergo a productive viral infection in ... -
Mannose receptor may be involved in small ruminant lentivirus pathogenesis
Thirty-one sheep naturally infected with small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) of known genotype (A or B), and clinically affected with neurological disease, pneumonia or arthritis were used to analyse mannose receptor (MR) ... -
Mechanisms of ammonium toxicity and the quest for tolerance
Ammonium sensitivity of plants is a worldwide problem, constraining crop production. Prolonged application of ammonium as the sole nitrogen source may result in physiological and morphological disorders that lead to decreased ... -
Mixtures of complete and pif1- and pif2-deficient genotypes are required for increased potency of an insect nucleopolyhedrovirus
The insecticidal potency of a nucleopolyhedrovirus population (SfNIC) that infects Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera) is greater than the potency of any of the component genotypes alone. Occlusion bodies (OBs) produced ... -
Modeling Klebsiella pneumoniae pathogenesis by infection of the wax moth Galleria mellonella
The implementation of infection models that approximate human disease is essential for understanding pathogenesis at the molecular level and for testing new therapies before they are entered into clinical stages. Insects ...
