Prevalence and Genetic Characteristics of Staphylococcus aureus CC398 Isolates From Invasive Infections in Spanish Hospitals, Focusing on the Livestock-Independent CC398-MSSA Clade
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Background: Livestock-associated (LA)-CC398-MRSA is closely related to pigs, being unfrequently detected in human invasive infections. CC398-MSSA is emerging in human invasive infections in some countries, but genetic and ...

Non-Ionic Osmotic Stress Induces the Biosynthesis of Nodulation Factors and Affects Other Symbiotic Traits in Sinorhizobium fredii HH103
(MDPI, 2023)
Simple Summary: Rhizobia are soil proteobacteria able to establish nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with host legumes. This symbiotic interaction, which is highly important from ecological and agronomical points of view since it ...

Pol5 is an essential ribosome biogenesis factor required for 60S ribosomal subunit maturation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2019)
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, more than 250 trans-acting factors are involved in the maturation of 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits. The expression of most of these factors is transcriptionally coregulated to ensure correct ...

Assessing the Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Lineages and Mutations on Patient Survival
(MDPI, 2022)
Objectives: More than two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 still remains a global public health problem. Successive waves of infection have produced new SARS-CoV-2 variants with new mutations for which the ...

Efficacy of Fosfomycin and Its Combination With Aminoglycosides in an Experimental Sepsis Model by Carbapenemase-Producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Clinical Strains
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae infections are an increasing global threat with scarce and uncertain treatment options. In this context, combination therapies are often used for these infections. The bactericidal ...

Pharmacodynamics of fosfomycin: Insights into clinical use for antimicrobial resistance
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015-09-01)
The aim of this study was to improve the understanding of the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships of fosfomycin against extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli strains that have different ...

Fatal levofloxacin failure in treatment of a bacteremic patient infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae with a preexisting parC mutation
(American Society for Microbiology, 2008)
The fatal outcome of levofloxacin treatment in a patient with bacteremic pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae with a preexisting parC mutation is reported. Failure was due to the emergence of a gyrA mutation after ...

A Robust Method to Perform In Vitro and In Planta Interbacterial Competition Assays: Killing Plant Pathogens by a Potent Biocontrol Agent
(Springer, 2024)
Interbacterial competition assays have become an essential tool for understanding the interactions between bacteria and their ability to outcompete one another in natural environments. This is especially relevant when ...

Calmodulin in Paramecium: Focus on Genomic Data
(MDPI, 2022)
Calcium (Ca2+) is a universal second messenger that plays a key role in cellular signaling. However, Ca2+ signals are transduced with the help of Ca2+-binding proteins, which serve as sensors, transducers, and elicitors. ...

Modelling the epidemiology of Escherichia coli ST131 and the impact of interventions on the community and healthcare centres
(Cambridge University Press, 2016)
ST131 Escherichia coli is an emergent clonal group that has achieved successful worldwide spread through a combination of virulence and antimicrobial resistance. Our aim was to develop a mathematical model, based on ...
