Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile infection is implicated as a major cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in hospitals worldwide. Probiotics, especially lactic acid bacteria, are the most frequently used alternative treatment. This study aims to identify potential probiotic enterococci strains that act against C. and exert protective effect on colon adenocarcinoma cells (HT-29 cells). To this end, nine Enterococcus isolated from feces breast-fed infants were investigated. They...
Secondary active transporters shuttle substrates across eukaryotic and prokaryotic membranes, utilizing different electrochemical gradients. They are recognized as one of the antimicrobial efflux pumps among pathogens. While primary within genome C. difficile 630 have been completely cataloged, systematical study secondary remains incomplete. Here, we not only identify but also disclose their evolution role in drug resistance 630. Our analysis reveals that carries 147 belonging to 27...
Many sea urchin species excavate pits in sedimentary rock, transforming primary rocky substrates into urchins' pits. These are not only used as their home but seem to harbor a distinct assemblage of organisms. We investigated small-scale spatial variation community macroinvertebrates by comparing composition epilithic between those found on unmodified substrate, inside occupied rock-boring Stomopneustes variolaris (Lamarck, 1816), and unoccupied pits, an intertidal shore southern Thailand....
