Bacteria classified as Bacillus cereus sensu stricto cause two different type of gastrointestinal diseases associated with food poisoning. Outbreaks this opportunistic pathogen are generally due to the resistance its spores heat, pH and desiccation that makes hard their complete inactivation from products. B. is commonly isolated a variety environments, including intestinal samples infected healthy people. We report genomic physiological characterization MV19, human strain closely related...
Vibriosis is a deadly illness caused by various species of the Vibrio genus. Due to its high incidence in aquaculture plants, vibriosis responsible for significant economic losses. Currently, anti-vibriosis treatments rely on antibiotics. However, global rise antibiotic resistance necessitates development alternative approaches. Novel vaccines and effective probiotics have been proposed as potential antibiotics fighting bacterial infections. Here we propose combined vaccine/probiotic...
Proteins and glycoproteins that form the surface layers of Bacillus spore assemble into semipermeable arrays surround protect cytoplasm. Such layers, acting like molecular sieves, exclude large molecules but allow small nutrients (germinants) to penetrate. We report CotG, a modular abundant component subtilis coat, controls permeability through its central region, formed by positively charged tandem repeats. These repeats act as spacers between N C termini protein, which are responsible for...
Summary Bacterial spores of the Bacillus genus are ubiquitous in nature and commonly isolated from a variety diverse environments. Such wide distribution mainly reflects spore resistance properties but some species can grow/sporulate at least environments where they have been originally isolated. Growing sporulating different conditions is known to affect structure produced spore. In B . subtilis temperature growth sporulation has shown influence surface throughout action...
Abstract The Bacillus cereus group is a species complex of the genus that includes several closely related species. Within this group, bacteria indicated as B. sensu stricto ( ) are causative agent two different types gastrointestinal diseases associated with food poisoning. Outbreaks opportunistic pathogen generally due to resistance its spores heat, pH and desiccation makes hard their complete inactivation from products. commonly isolated variety environments, including intestinal samples...
