Adaptive processes in chronic bacterial infections are well described, but much less is known about the processes at play during acute infections. Here, by sequencing seven randomly selected isolates per patient, we analyzed Escherichia coli populations from three acute extraintestinal infections in adults (meningitis, pyelonephritis, and peritonit...

This exploratory study empirically shows how community social capital is related to post-disaster depression, whereas most disaster mental health research has focused on posttraumatic stress disorder. We tested the validity of earlier found multilevel social and individual mechanisms of posttraumatic stress for symptoms of post-disaster depression....

The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a protein secretion apparatus widely distributed in Gram-negative bacterial species. Many bacterial pathogens employ T6SS to compete with the host and to coordinate the invasion process. The T6SS apparatus consists of a membrane complex and an inner tail tube-like structure that is surrounded by a co...

Polysaccharides are major components of macroalgal and phytoplankton biomass and constitute a large fraction of the organic matter produced and degraded in the ocean. Until recently, however, our knowledge of marine polysaccharides was limited due to their great structural complexity, the correspondingly complicated enzymatic machinery used by micr...

Emerging evidence has linked the gut microbiome changes to schizophrenia. However, there has been limited research into the functional pathways by which the gut microbiota contributes to the phenotype of persons with chronic schizophrenia. We characterized the composition and functional potential of the gut microbiota in 48 individuals with chronic...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) constitutes an international public health threat widely believed to result from excessive antimicrobial use (AMU). Numerous authorities have recommended antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) to curb the selection of AMR, but there is a lack of data confirming this benefit. A controlled interrupted time-series stu...

The 2020 Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been awarded for research on bacterial defense against viruses and plasmids, popularly known as CRISPR/Cas9 system. One half of the Prize has been awarded to Professor Emmanuelle Charpentier of the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens (Berlin, Germany), and the other half to Professor Jennifer A. Doudn...

The composite material filled with nano-sized BaTiO3 and Fe3O4 was designed and studied. The aluminium phosphate ceramics was used as a matrix. The XRD analysis demonstrates only the crystalline structure of the fillers used. The thermogravimetric analysis proves the thermal stability of the composites up to 950 K. The Maxwell-Wagner relaxation was...

AbstractInteresting observations illustrating the process of transformation of some minerals of banded iron formations (BIF) were made while studying the Early Proterozoic jaspilites of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (KMA). Examples showing the process of siderite transformation into iron oxides/hydroxides by iron-oxidizing bacteria are given.
