- 1From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground The efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi in pest control is mainly affected by various adverse environmental factors, such as heat shock and UV-B radiation, and by responses of the host insect, such as...
- 2From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Bacteria grown on semi-solid media can build two types of multicellular structures, depending on the circumstances. Bodies (colonies) arise when a single clone is grown axenically (germ-free), whereas...
- 3From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground The genome of the Gram-positive, metal-reducing, dehalorespiring Desulfitobacterium hafniense DCB-2 was sequenced in order to gain insights into its metabolic capacities, adaptive physiology, and...
- 4From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground A common finding amongst patients with inhalational anthrax is a paucity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) in infected tissues in the face of abundant circulating PMNs. A major virulence determinant...
- 5From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground A powerful approach to understanding complex processes such as aging is to use model organisms amenable to genetic manipulation, and to seek relevant phenotypes to measure. Caenorhabditis elegans is...
- 6From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground The maintenance of Borrelia burgdorferi in its complex tick-mammalian enzootic life cycle is dependent on the organism's adaptation to its diverse niches. To this end, the RpoN-RpoS regulatory pathway in...
- 7From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground The amino acid-producing Gram-positive Corynebacterium glutamicum is auxotrophic for biotin although biotin ring assembly starting from the precursor pimeloyl-CoA is still functional. It possesses AccBC,...
- 8From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Opportunistic oral infections can be found in over 80% of HIV + patients, often causing debilitating lesions that also contribute to deterioration in nutritional health. Although appreciation for the role...
- 9From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Vibrio harveyi and closely related species are important pathogens in aquaculture. A complex quorum sensing cascade involving three autoinducers controls bioluminescence and several genes encoding...
- 10From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Acellular Pertussis vaccines against whooping cough caused by Bordetella pertussis present a much-improved safety profile compared to the original vaccine of killed whole cells. The principal antigen of...
- 11From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium is among the small group of fungi that can degrade lignin to carbon dioxide while leaving the crystalline cellulose untouched. The efficient lignin...
- 12From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The vaginal microbiota of healthy women consists of a wide variety of anaerobic and aerobic bacterial genera and species dominated by the genus Lactobacillus. The activity of lactobacilli helps to maintain...
- 13From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Prophages of enteric bacteria are frequently of key importance for the biology, virulence, or host adaptation of their host. Some C. jejuni isolates carry homologs of the CJIE1 (CMLP 1) prophage that carry...
- 14From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Efficient perception of attacking pathogens is essential for plants. Plant defense is evoked by molecules termed elicitors. Endogenous elicitors or damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) originate...
- 15From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The classical roles of B cells include the production of antibodies and cytokines and the generation of immunological memory, these being key factors in the adaptive immune response. However, their role in...
- 16From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Streptococcus pneumoniae infections remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The diversity of pneumococci was first evidenced by serotyping of their capsular polysaccharides, responsible...
- 17From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Drug resistance displays a problem for the therapy of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections. For molecular resistance testing, it is essential to have precise knowledge on genomic variations involved in...
- 18From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground O-glycosylation of secretory proteins has been found to be an important factor in fungal biology and virulence. It consists in the addition of short glycosidic chains to Ser or Thr residues in the protein...
- 19From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Monitoring drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is essential to curb the spread of tuberculosis (TB). Unfortunately, drug susceptibility testing is currently not available in Papua New Guinea...
- 20From: BMC Microbiology. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Mangrove forests are coastal wetlands that provide vital ecosystem services and serve as barriers against natural disasters like tsunamis, hurricanes and tropical storms. Mangroves harbour a large...
