Impact of Nutrient Restriction on the Structure of Listeria monocytogenes Biofilm Grown in a Microfluidic System
(2017-05-17)
Biofilm formation by the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a major concern in
food industries. The aim of this work was to elucidate the effect of nutrient
limitation on both biofilm architecture and on the ...
Impact of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae biofilm mode of growth on the lipid A structures and stimulation of immune cells
(SAGE, 2016-05-25)
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), the etiologic agent of porcine pleuropneumonia,
forms biofilms on both biotic and abiotic surfaces. APP biofilms confers resistance to antibiotics.
To our knowledge, no studies have ...
Impaired EAT-4 vesicular glutamate transporter leads to defective nocifensive response of caenorhabditis elegans to noxious heat
(Springer, 2019-04-26)
In mammals, glutamate is an important excitatory neurotransmitter. Glutamate and
glutamate receptors are found in areas specifically involved in pain sensation, transmission
and transduction such as peripheral nervous ...
Characterisation of InlA truncation in Listeria monocytogenes isolates from farm animals and human cases in the province of Quebec
(2017-06)
The introduction of Listeria monocytogenes into the food production chain is a concern, with numerous grouped cases of listeriosis associated with milk-derived or pork-derived products have been documented. Management of ...
Extensive characterization of Campylobacter jejuni chicken isolates to uncover genes involved in the ability to compete for gut colonization
(2015-05)
Background: Campylobacter jejuni is responsible for human foodborne enteritis. This bacterium is a remarkable
colonizer of the chicken gut, with some strains outcompeting others for colonization. To better understand ...
Chicken Caecal Microbiome Modifications Induced by Campylobacter jejuni Colonization and by a Non-Antibiotic Feed Additive
(2015-07)
Campylobacter jejuni is an important zoonotic foodborne pathogen causing acute gastroenteritis
in humans. Chickens are often colonized at very high numbers by C. jejuni, up to 109
CFU per gram of caecal content, with no ...
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase, carbapenemase, and the mcr-1 gene: Is there a historical link?
(2017-03-30)
The plasmid mediated mcr-1 gene encoding for Enterobacteriaceae colistin resistance has been recently identified across five continents. The objective of the present study was to trace historical events concerning the ...
Dynamics of viral distribution in a defined swine production network using enteric viruses as molecular markers
(2017-02)
Modern swine production systems represent complex and dynamic networks
involving numerous stakeholders. For instance, livestock transporters carry live
animals between fattening sites, abattoirs, and other premises on a ...
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae induces SJPL cell cycle arrest in G2/M-phase and inhibits porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus replication
(2015-12)
Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most important pathogens
in the swine industry and causes important economic losses. No effective antiviral drugs against it are ...
Characterization of Endoproteolytic Processing of Dynorphins by Proprotein Convertases using Mouse Spinal Cord S9 Fractions and Mass Spectrometry
(2016-06-01)
Dynorphins are important neuropeptides with a central role in nociception and pain alleviation. Many mechanisms regulate endogenous dynorphin concentrations, including proteolysis. Proprotein convertases (PCs) are widely ...
