| denitrification by cystic fibrosis pathogens - stenotrophomonas maltophilia is dormant in sputum. | chronic pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection is the most severe complication for cystic fibrosis (cf) patients. infected endobronchial mucus of cf patients contains anaerobic zones mainly due to the respiratory burst of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. we have recently demonstrated ongoing denitrification in sputum from patients infected with p. aeruginosa. therefore we aimed to investigate, whether the pathogenicity of several known cf pathogens is correlated to their ability to perform denitrifi ... | 2015 | 25441256 |
| genomic insights into intrinsic and acquired drug resistance mechanisms in achromobacter xylosoxidans. | achromobacter xylosoxidans is an opportunistic pathogen known to be resistant to a wide range of antibiotics; however, the knowledge about the drug resistance mechanisms is limited. we used a high-throughput sequencing approach to sequence the genomes of the a. xylosoxidans type strain atcc 27061 and a clinical isolate, a. xylosoxidans x02736, and then we used different bioinformatics tools to analyze the drug resistance genes in these bacteria. we obtained the complete genome sequence for a. xy ... | 2015 | 25487802 |
| development of a growth-dependent selection system for identification of l-threonine aldolases. | threonine aldolases (tas) are useful enzymes for the synthesis of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids due to their capability to catalyze asymmetric aldol reactions. starting from two prochiral compounds, an aldehyde and glycine, two chiral stereocenters were formed in a single step via c-c bond formation. owing to poor diastereoselectivity and low activity, the enzymatic synthesis of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids by tas is still a challenge. for identification of new tas, a growth-dependent selection system in p ... | 2015 | 25616526 |
| stenotrophomonas, achromobacter, and nonmelioid burkholderia species: antimicrobial resistance and therapeutic strategies. | stenotrophomonas maltophilia, achromobacter xylosoxidans, and nonmelioid burkholderia species, namely, burkholderia cepacia complex, collectively are a group of troublesome nonfermenters. although not inherently virulent organisms, these environmental gram negatives can complicate treatment in those who are immunocompromised, critically ill in the intensive care unit and those patients with suppurative lung disease, such as cystic fibrosis. through a range of intrinsic antimicrobial resistance m ... | 2015 | 25643274 |

| intrapatient diversity of achromobacter spp. involved in chronic colonization of cystic fibrosis airways. | achromobacter spp. are increasingly identified in cystic fibrosis (cf) patients and their ability to persistently colonize the cf respiratory tract (cfrt) suggests that achromobacter species possess adaptive characteristics. we studied genome dynamics in 118 isolates recovered from 13 patients with achromobacter chronic colonization (5-26 isolates per patient recovered over 13-61 months). isolates were identified to species level by nrda gene sequencing, subjected to pulsed-field gel electrophor ... | 2015 | 25791931 |
| biotic inactivation of the pseudomonas aeruginosa quinolone signal molecule. | in pseudomonas aeruginosa, quorum sensing (qs) regulates the production of secondary metabolites, many of which are antimicrobials that impact on polymicrobial community composition. consequently, quenching qs modulates the environmental impact of p. aeruginosa. to identify bacteria capable of inactivating the qs signal molecule 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1h)-quinolone (pqs), a minimal medium containing pqs as the sole carbon source was used to enrich a malaysian rainforest soil sample. this yielded a ... | 2015 | 25809238 |
| pan-resistant achromobacter xylosoxidans and stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection in cystic fibrosis does not reduce survival after lung transplantation. | the number of cystic fibrosis (cf) patients undergoing lung transplantation continues to grow, as does the prevalence of multidrug-resistant (mdr) gram-negative rods. however, the posttransplant survival of patients with mdr pathogens, specifically pan-resistant achromobacter xylosoxidans and stenotrophomonas maltophilia, is poorly characterized. | 2015 | 25856407 |
| emerging bacterial pathogens and changing concepts of bacterial pathogenesis in cystic fibrosis. | chronic suppurative lower airway infection is a hallmark feature of cystic fibrosis (cf). decades of experience in clinical microbiology have enabled the development of improved technologies and approaches for the cultivation and identification of microorganisms from sputum. it is increasingly apparent that the microbial constituents of the lower airways in cf exist in a dynamic state. indeed, while changes in prevalence of various pathogens occur through ageing, differences exist in successive ... | 2015 | 25881770 |
| the crystal structure of d-threonine aldolase from alcaligenes xylosoxidans provides insight into a metal ion assisted plp-dependent mechanism. | threonine aldolases catalyze the pyridoxal phosphate (plp) dependent cleavage of threonine into glycine and acetaldehyde and play a major role in the degradation of this amino acid. in nature, l- as well as d-specific enzymes have been identified, but the exact physiological function of d-threonine aldolases (dtas) is still largely unknown. both types of enantio-complementary enzymes have a considerable potential in biocatalysis for the stereospecific synthesis of various β-hydroxy amino acids, ... | 2015 | 25884707 |
| hexacyclopeptides secreted by an endophytic fungus fusarium solani n06 act as crosstalk molecules in narcissus tazetta. | the basis of chemical crosstalk in plants and associated endophytes lies in certain so-called communication molecules that are responsible for plant-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions. consequently, elucidating the factors that affect the nature, distribution, and amount of these molecules and how they impact the interaction among endophytes and associated organisms is essential to understand the true potential of endophytes. in the present study, we report the discovery of nine hexacyclop ... | 2015 | 25958995 |

| berberine is a novel type efflux inhibitor which attenuates the mexxy-mediated aminoglycoside resistance in pseudomonas aeruginosa. | the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant p. aeruginosa infections is of great concern, as very few agents are effective against strains of this species. methanolic extracts from the coptidis rhizoma (the rhizomes of coptis japonica var. major satake) or phellodendri cortex (the bark of phellodendron chinense schneider) markedly reduced resistance to anti-pseudomonal aminoglycosides (e.g., amikacin) in multidrug-resistant p. aeruginosa strains. berberine, the most abundant benzylisoquinoli ... | 2016 | 27547203 |
| removal of polychlorinated biphenyl congeners in mixture delor 103 from wastewater by ozonation vs/and biological method. | polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) produced in slovakia as a commercial mixture delor 103 cause the main contamination of sediment, water and fish in the eastern part of slovakia. delor 103 is a mixture of 40% pcb congeners, nine of them: pcb 8 (2,4'-dichlorobiphenyl), pcb 28 (2,4,4'-trichlorobiphenyl), pcb 52 (2,2',5,5'-tetrachlorobiphenyl), pcb 101 (2,2',4,5,5'-pentachlorobiphenyl), pcb 118 (2,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl), pcb 138 (2,2',3,4,4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl), pcb 153 (2,2',4,4',5,5'-he ... | 2017 | 27607933 |

| exposing the three-dimensional biogeography and metabolic states of pathogens in cystic fibrosis sputum via hydrogel embedding, clearing, and rrna labeling. | physiological resistance to antibiotics confounds the treatment of many chronic bacterial infections, motivating researchers to identify novel therapeutic approaches. to do this effectively, an understanding of how microbes survive in vivo is needed. though much can be inferred from bulk approaches to characterizing complex environments, essential information can be lost if spatial organization is not preserved. here, we introduce a tissue-clearing technique, termed mipact, designed to retain an ... | 2016 | 27677788 |
| the dynamics behind the affinity: controlling heme-gas affinity via geminate recombination and heme propionate conformation in the no carrier cytochrome c'. | nitric oxide (no) sensors are heme proteins which may also bind co and o2. control of heme-gas affinity and their discrimination are achieved by the structural properties and reactivity of the heme and its distal and proximal environments, leading to several energy barriers. in the bacterial no sensor cytochrome c' from alcaligenes xylosoxidans (axcp), the single leu16ala distal mutation boosts the affinity for gas ligands by a remarkable 10(6)-10(8)-fold, transforming axcp from one of the lowes ... | 2016 | 27709886 |
