Novel high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies allow researchers to characterize a
bacterial genome during a single experiment and at a moderate cost. However, the increase …

Bacterial identification relies primarily on culture-based methodologies requiring 24 h for
isolation and an additional 24 to 48 h for species identification. Matrix-assisted laser desorption …

The gut microbiota is involved in metabolic and immune disorders associated with obesity
and type 2 diabetes. We previously demonstrated that prebiotic treatment may significantly …

We evaluated the robustness of loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of DNA for
bacterial diagnostic applications. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi was used as the target …

Background Oral bacterial communities contain species that promote health and others that
have been implicated in oral and/or systemic diseases. Culture-independent approaches …

Background Staphylococcus aureus, a leading cause of chronic or acute infections, is
traditionally considered an extracellular pathogen despite repeated reports of S. aureus …

Staphylococcus aureus is an versatile pathogen that can cause life-threatening infections.
Depending on the clinical setting, up to 50% of S. aureus infections are caused by methicillin-…

OBJECTIVE To investigate deep and comprehensive analysis of gut microbial communities
and biological parameters after prebiotic administration in obese and diabetic mice. …

CodY is involved in the adaptive response to starvation in at least 30 different low G+C gram-positive
bacteria. After dimerization and activation by cofactor binding, CodY binds to a …

Context Experts and policy makers have repeatedly called for universal screening at
hospital admission to reduce nosocomial methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) …
