Genomic Characteristics of Colistin-Resistant Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Infantis from Poultry Farms in the Republic of Serbia
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted on 174 single isolates from poultry farms in Serbia and it was determined that seven Salmonella spp. were multidrug resistant. Sixteen serotypes were detected, but ...
Functional Characterization of the Lactolisterin BU Gene Cluster of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis BGBU1-4
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2018)
The gene cluster responsible for the production of the aureocin A53-like bacteriocin, lactolisterin BU, is located on plasmid pBU6 in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis BGBU1-4. Heterologous expression of pBU6 confirmed that ...
Effects of iota-carrageenan on ocular Chlamydia trachomatis infection in vitro and in vivo
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2018)
Ocular chlamydial infections with the ocular serovars A, B, Ba, and C of Chlamydia trachomatis represent the world's leading cause of infectious blindness. Carrageenans are naturally occurring, sulfated polysaccharides ...
The effect of infectious dose on humoral and cellular immune responses in Chlamydophila caviae primary ocular infection
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2017)
Following infection, the balance between protective immunity and immunopathology often depends on the initial infectious load. Several studies have investigated the effect of infectious dose; however, the mechanism by which ...
A Probiotic Adjuvant Lactobacillus rhamnosus Enhances Specific Immune Responses after Ocular Mucosal Immunization with Chlamydial Polymorphic Membrane Protein C
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2016)
Recent advances in the development of chlamydia vaccines, using live-attenuated or ultraviolet light-inactivated chlamydia, are paving the way for new possibilities to oppose the societal challenges posed by chlamydia-related ...
Delivery of a Chlamydial Adhesin N-PmpC Subunit Vaccine to the Ocular Mucosa Using Particulate Carriers
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2015)
Trachoma, caused by the intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), remains the world's leading preventable infectious cause of blindness. Recent attempts to develop effective vaccines rely on modified chlamydial ...
Identification of quorum-sensing-regulated genes of Burkholderia cepacia
(Amer Soc Microbiology, Washington, 2003)
Quorum sensing is a regulatory mechanism (operating in response to cell density) which in gram-negative bacteria usually involves the production of N-acyl homoserine lactones (HSL). Quorum sensing in Burkholderia cepacia ...
TetR family member PsrA directly binds the Pseudomonas rpoS and psrA promoters
(Amer Soc Microbiology, Washington, 2002)
We have previously described a Pseudomonas gene, psrA, which enhances transcription of the rpoS sigma factor gene at stationary phase. We present molecular data which demonstrate that in Pseudomonas putida PsrA binds ...
Modulation of functional characteristics of resident and thioglycollate-elicited peritoneal murine macrophages by a recombinant banana lectin
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2017)
We demonstrated that a recombinant banana lectin (rBanLec), which structural characteristics and physiological impacts highly resemble those reported for its natural counterparts, binds murine peritoneal macrophages and ...
Cross-Reactive Effects of Vaccines: Heterologous Immunity between Tetanus and Chlamydia
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
Vaccines can have heterologous effects on the immune system, i.e., effects other than triggering an immune response against the disease targeted by the vaccine. We investigated whether monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific ...
