  19. Exogenous Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Impact Membrane Remodeling and Affect Virulence Phenotypes among Pathogenic Vibrio Species [Physiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • The pathogenic Vibrio species (V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus, and V. vulnificus) represent a constant threat to human health, causing foodborne and skin wound infections as a result of ingestion of or exposure to contaminated water and seafood. Recent studies have highlighted Vibrio's ability to acquire fatty acids from environmental sources and assimilate them into cell membranes.

  20. The structure and membrane topography of the Vibrio-type secretin complex from the T2SS of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC).

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex is the core machinery for the assembly of β-barrel membrane proteins, and inhibition of BAM complex activity is lethal to bacteria. Discovery of integral membrane proteins that are key to pathogenesis yet do not require assistance from the BAM complex raises the question of how these proteins assemble into bacterial outer membranes.

    • Journal of Clinical Microbiology

    • The purpose of this study was to perform a multisite evaluation to establish the performance characteristics of the BD Max extended enteric bacterial panel (xEBP) assay directly from unpreserved or Cary-Blair-preserved stool specimens for the detection of Yersinia enterocolitica, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), Vibrio, and Plesiomonas shigelloides. The study included prospective, retrospective, and prepared contrived specimens from 6 clinical sites.

  25. Environmental Determinants of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in the Chesapeake Bay [Public and Environmental Health Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Vibrio parahaemolyticus naturally occurs in brackish and marine waters and is one of the leading causes of seafood-borne illness. Previous work studying the ecology of V. parahaemolyticus has often been limited in geographic extent and lacked a full range of environmental measures. This study used a unique large data set of surface water samples in the Chesapeake Bay (n = 1,385) collected from 148 monitoring stations from 2007 to 2010.
