Abstract:
ABSTRACT The dynamics of host-pathogen interactions have important implications for the design of new antimicrobial agents to treat chronic infections such as tuberculosis (TB), which is notoriously refractory to conventional drug therapy. In the mouse model of TB, an acute phase of exponential bacterial growth in the lungs is followed by a chronic phase characterized by relatively stable numbers of bacteria. This equilibrium could be static, with little ongoing replication, or dynamic, with continuous bacterial multiplication balanced by bacterial killing. A static model predicts a close corr

Abstract:
Bacteria in human milk contribute to the establishment of the infant gut microbiome. As such, numerous studies have characterized the human milk microbiome using DNA sequencing technologies, particularly 16S rRNA gene sequencing. However, such methods are not able to differentiate between DNA from viable and non-viable bacteria. The extent to which bacterial DNA detected in human milk represents living, biologically active cells is therefore unclear. Here, we characterized both the viable bacterial content and the total bacterial DNA content (derived from viable and non-viable cells) of fresh

Abstract Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) stands as a potential method for enhancing pig health. FMT has progressed from the basic delivery of fresh stool, to lyophilized preparations which is beneficial for sample storage, but can damage bacterial cells. This has necessitated the need for lyoprotectants to preserve bacterial viability. However, the ideal lyoprotectant for retaining community structure and viability remains unclear. Furthermore, DNA-based microbial profiling methods such as 16S rRNA and metagenomics sequencing do not distinguish live and dead bacteria, prompting the need

Background: The COVID-19 virus outbreak had a massive effect on many parts of people's lives, as they were advised to quarantine and lockdown to prevent the virus from spreading, which had a big impact on people's mental health, anxiety, and stress. Many internal and external factors lead to stress. This negatively influences the body's homeostasis. As a result, stress may affect the body's capacity to use energy to defend against pathogens. Many recent investigations have found substantial links between human mental stress and the production of hormones, prohormones, and/or immunological chem

ABSTRACT It is now universally recognized that only a portion of aquatic bacteria is actively growing, but quantitative information on the fraction of living versus dormant or dead bacteria in marine sediments is completely lacking. We compared different protocols for the determination of the dead, dormant, and active bacterial fractions in two different marine sediments and at different depths into the sediment core. Bacterial counts ranged between (1.5 ± 0.2) × 108 cells g−1 and (53.1 ± 16.0) × 108 cells g−1 in sandy and muddy sediments, respectively. Bacteria displaying intact membrane (liv

Its effects on viable benthic diatom assemblages in a tropical environment were evaluated across spatial (intertidal sandflat, mangrove site, port environment) and seasonal (post-monsoon, pre-monsoon, monsoon) scales. Penicillin treatment resulted in bacterial suppression and a reduction in diatoms at the intertidal and mangrove sites having stable pennate-dominated assemblages. Diatom response at the port site, dominated by transient centric diatoms, ranged from total inhibition to enhancement. The

However, AMR bacteria can also escape the feedyard via agricultural runoff, manure used as crop fertilizer, and even dust. A study published in 2015 reported AMR genes in dust from cattle feedyards; however, one of the study’s major limitations was the failure to investigate gene presence in viable bacteria, or more importantly, viable bacteria of importance to human health.

ABSTRACT A direct viable count (DVC) procedure was developed which clearly and easily discriminates the viability of bacterial cells. In this quantitative DVC (qDVC) procedure, viable cells are selectively lysed by spheroplast formation caused by incubation with antibiotics and glycine. This glycine effect leads to swollen cells with a very loose cell wall. The viable cells then are lysed easily by a single freeze-thaw treatment. The number of viable cells was obtained by subtracting the number of remaining cells after the qDVC procedure from the total cell number before the qDVC incubation. T

Bacterial contamination in food arises from various sources, including human contact and processing equipment, and often worsens during storage, affecting food quality.

The accurate identification of microorganisms is critical for food safety in the food industry.
