We profiled the expression of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in mice exposed to gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria using Illumina small RNA deep sequencing. Recombinant-specific gram-negative pathogen Escherichia coli (Xen14) and gram-positive pathogen Staphylococcus aureus (Xen29) were used ...
The alternative sigma factor sigmaB has an important role in the acquisition of stress-resistance in many gram-positive bacteria. In the foodborne pathogen Bacillus cereus sigmaB is activated strongly upon a heat shock and other stress conditions. Here we describe the identification of the set of si...
To survive during colonization or infection of the human body, microorganisms must defeat antimicrobial peptides, which represent a key component of innate host defense in phagocytes and on epithelia. However, is not known how the clinically important group of Gram-positive bacteria sense antimicrob...
To explore the circulating miRNA expression after subcutaneous injection of Gram negative and positive bacteria in the mice The recombinant specific Gram negative pathogens Escherichia coli (xen14) and Gram positive pathogens Staphyllococcus aureus (xen29) were purchased from the Caliper (Caliper, P...
This study characterized functions and metabolic profiles of cell-free supernatants (CFS) from Lactobacillus johnsonii KD1 against three foodborne pathogens: the Gram-negative bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus 3HP and Salmonella enterica serovar ...
Signal intensities of BC-GP array for 105 speimens The Verigene Gram-Positive Blood Culture (BC-GP) nucleic acid assay is an automated microarray-based test, which can detect 12 Gram-positive bacterial genes and 3 resistance determinants using blood culture broths. We investigated signal intensities...
The intestinal ecosystem is balanced by dynamic interactions between resident and incoming microbes, the gastrointestinal barrier, and the mucosal immune system. However, in the context of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) where the integrity of the gastrointestinal barrier is compromised, resident ...
