Abstract:
The spread of cholera is always associated with contaminated food or water and this is the reason this disease has been endemic in developing countries for centuries due to their lack of proper sanitation facilities and poor or no infrastructure for sewage systems. Cholera can spread quickly and sporadically after any natural disaster that destroys the sewage system or safe drinking water supply of both developed and undeveloped countries. In Southeast Asia in December 2004 and in Pakistan and Haiti 2010, cholera outbreaks followed the natural disasters; with most of the cholera victims being

Abstract:
Antiporters that exchange alkali cations (Na+ or K+) for protons play an important role in the physiology of all known bacterial species. They are involved in regulating intracellular pH and maintaining cellular volume as well as the formation of a chemical Na+ gradient across the membrane, which is important to many bacteria as an energy source for processes such as accumulation of substrates, ATP synthesis, and flagellar rotation. Another important role of cation/proton antiporters is homeostasis of intracellular cation content. The situation of a thermodynamic equilibrium of Na+ or K+ on t

The minimum functional region of oriCII, oriCII-min, contains multiple elements that are bound by RctB in vitro, but little is known about the specific requirements for individual elements during oriCII initiation.

Abstract:
È risaputo che i batteri possono acquisire geni di antibiotico-resistenza e virulenza attraverso lo scambio orizzontale di geni, e che gli antibiotici selezionano meccanismi di resistenza esistenti e nuove mutazioni che rendono il batterio resistente (Smith et al., 2002). Recentemente sono stati isolati dei ceppi clinici di Vibrio cholerae contenenti geni di antibiotico resistenza rilevati in precedenza in batteri marini (Pande et al., 2012). Inoltre, durante vari studi precedenti condotti nel nostro laboratorio (Labella et al., 2013; Gennari et al., 2012; Caburlotto et al., 2010), era stato

Abstract:
The pathogen Vibrio cholerae uses cations as a primary currency of virulence and environmental persistence, using gradients of those cations to move, acquire nutrients, and control virulence gene expression. An understanding of the overlapping roles of bioenergetics and chemotaxis in the virulence and environmental survival of V. cholerae issues from a large body of prior work, but the interplay of each component is not yet clearly understood. To this end, the activity of the antiporters Vc-NhaP1, Vc-NhaA, and Vc-NhaB was assayed, as was the sodium transporting respiratory pump NQR, and enviro

Abstract:
Nei primi anni ’80 un gran numero di evidenze sperimentali ha confermato che i microrganismi, anche patogeni, appartenenti al genere Vibrio sono batteri autoctoni dell’ambiente acquatico. A partire da allora l’ecologia acquatica dei vibrioni è stata largamente studiata ed è stato messo in evidenza come l’ambiente acquatico abbia un ruolo fondamentale nel determinare la persistenza, la disseminazione e l’evoluzione di questi microrganismi, e conseguentemente la loro trasmissione all’uomo. La presenza di vibrioni nell’ambiente acquatico è correlata ai valori di temperatura, di salinità e di ma
