Climate change has caused increasing Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections in areas unaffected by this pathogen. Water temperature is an important ecological factor. It consequently of high importance to follow V. aquatic environments and foods. The aim work was detect the presence Tigris River from eight different sites namely Malabadi Bridge, Fiskaya, Ongözlü Bağıvar, Pamukçay, Ambarçay, Seyrant...

Listeria monocytogenes is a Gram-positive intracellular bacterial pathogen that colonizes the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. Recent transcriptomic studies have revealed that intracellular L. monocytogenes alter expression of genes encoding envelope components. However, no comparative global analysis of this cell wall remodeling process is yet known at the protein level. Here, we used high resolut...

The importance of hands in the transmission of nosocomial infection has been world wide admitted. However, it is difficult to induce this behavior in health-care workers. The aim of the present work was to point out the importance of hand bacteria colonization, the influence of hand washing and of patient physical examination. One hundred health-care workers were randomly divided in two groups:...

Bacterial pathogens are known for their wide range of strategies to specifically adapt to host environments and infection sites. An in-depth understanding of these adaptation mechanisms is crucial for the development of effective therapeutics and new prevention measures. In this study, we assessed the suitability of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for monitoring metabolic adaptat...

Recent papers argue that major increases in the isolation of multidrug-resistant Gramnegative bacteria have been of some concern in clinical practice. Among these bacteria, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an intrinsic producer of β-lactamases, and has been recognized as a nosocomial pathogen. But few reports are available on the impact of the potential risk of mixed infections. The goal of this...

Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular pathogen that is able to colonize the cytosol of macrophages. Here we examined the interaction of this pathogen with autophagy, a host cytosolic degradative pathway that constitutes an important component of innate immunity towards microbial invaders. L. monocytogenes infection induced activation of the autophagy system in macrophages. At 1 h post infe...

Recent studies have suggested the existence of innate host surveillance systems for the detection of bacteria in the cytosol of mammalian cells. The molecular details of how bacteria are recognized in the cytosol, however, remain unclear. Here we examined the fate of Salmonella typhimurium, a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that can infect a variety of hosts, in the cytosol of mammalian cells....

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 bac...

Infectious diseases spread via pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Airborne pathogen transmission droplets is an important mode for infectious diseases. In this paper, the spreading mechanism of by airborne between two humans modeled with a molecular communication perspective. An end-to-end system model which considers pathogen-laden cough/sneeze input infection state human output proposed....
