Sepsis is one of the major challenges of today. Although gram-positive bacteria related infections are more prevalent in hospital setting, the highest mortality rate is associated with gram-negative microorganisms especially Enterobacteriaceae. Enterobacteriaceae, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., Enterobacter spp. and Serratia spp. Resistance to β-lactams in Enterobact...

BACKGROUND Despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), patients with chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have increased microbial translocation and systemic inflammation. Alterations in the intestinal microbiota may play a role in microbial translocation and inflammation. METHODS We profiled the fecal microbiota by pyrosequencing the gene encoding 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA)...

The bacteria in the midgut of Anopheles stephensi adult females from laboratory colonies were studied by sequencing the V4 region of 16S rRNA genes, with respect to three experimental factors: stable or cured Wolbachia infection; sugar or blood diet; and age. Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes dominated the community [>90% of operational taxonomic units (OTUs)]; most taxa were in the classes Flav...

The prevalence and mycopathogenic potential of Enterobacteriaceae (especially Ewingella americana) in cultivated mushrooms were studied. A total of 95 samples of Agaricus bisporus, Lentinula edodes and Pleurotus ostreatus were analyzed to quantify the Enterobacteriaceae and to identify the species isolated. The host pathogenicity test was used to verify their mycopathogenic potential. The genus...

Článek pojednává o výskytu bakterií z čeledi Enterobacteriaceae (tj. zástupců koliformních bakterií, termotolerantních a druhu Escherichia coli) v různých typech recyklovaných vod (šedé vody, srážkové vody městských vodních prvků).

A total of 5,137 enterobacterial clinical isolates were examined with three series of biochemical tests. The data were analyzed with respect to the use of economical and practical procedures for the accurate identification of lactose-fermenting and -nonfermenting Enterobacteriaceae within 24 hr after isolation.

In a precious report (Woolfrey et al., J Clin. Microbiol. 13:58-61, 1981), we indicated that the Repliscan system did not reliably identify Enterobacteriaceae. Recent improvements in the system prompted us to evaluate Repliscan II (Cathra International, Inc., St. Paul, Minn.) by using representative isolates of the population sample previously used to test the system. Isolates (692) representin...

In enteric bacteria three discrete families of type I restriction and modification systems (IA, IB and ID) are encoded by alleles of the serB-linked hsd locus. Probes specific for each of the three families were used to monitor the distribution of related systems in 37 of the 72 wild-type Escherichia coli strains comprising the ECOR collection. All 25 members of group A in this collection were ...
