Bacterial matrix metalloproteases and serine proteases contribute to the extra-host inactivation of enteroviruses in lake water

Enteroviruses are ubiquitous contaminants of surface waters, yet their fate in presence of microbial congeners is poorly understood. In this work, we investigated the inactivation of Echovirus-11 (E11) and Coxsackievirus-A9 (CVA9) by bacteria isolated from ...

Indication of spatially random occurrence of Chlamydia-like organisms in Bufo bufo tadpoles from ponds located in the Geneva metropolitan area

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni, Séverine Vuilleumier Varisco, Elia Vajana, Ivo Widmer

Occurrence of bacteria belonging to the order Chlamydiales was investigated for the first time in common toad (Bufo bufo) tadpole populations collected from 41 ponds in the Geneva metropolitan area, Switzerland. A Chlamydiales-specific real-time PCR was us ...

Analysis of antibiotic multi-resistant bacteria and resistance genes in the effluent of an intensive shrimp farm (Long An, Vietnam)

Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro

In Vietnam, intensive shrimp farms heavily rely on a wide variety of antibiotics (ABs) to treat animals or prevent disease outbreak. Potential for the emergence of multi-resistant bacteria is high, with the concomitant contamination of adjacent natural aqu ...

Role of microbial cell properties on bacterial pathogen and coliphage removal in biochar-modified stormwater biofilters

Stormwater biofilters are distributed stormwater control measures for managing urban runoff. Recent work has shown that adding biochar to biofilters can reduce stormwater contaminant concentrations, including fecal indicator bacteria (FIB). However, the po ...

Cell Division by Longitudinal Scission in the Insect Endosymbiont

Bruno Lemaitre, Graham Knott, Catherine Maclachlan, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond

Spiroplasma bacteria are highly motile bacteria with no cell wall and a helical morphology. This clade includes many vertically transmitted insect endosymbionts, including Spiroplasma poulsonii, a natural endosymbiont of Drosophila melanogaster. S. poulson ...

Elucidating bacterial regrowth: Effect of disinfection conditions in dark storage of solar treated secondary effluent

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis

In this study, we systematically investigate solar disinfection of synthetic secondary wastewater, with the effort to decrypt the effects disinfection conditions have on post-irradiation bacterial regrowth in the dark. A full factorial design of 240 experi ...

Sources, Spreading and Fate of Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Resistant Bacteria in Vidy Bay, Lake Geneva, Switzerland

Nadine Czekalski

Increasing numbers of multiresistant bacterial pathogens cause severe health problems on a global scale. Large quantities of bacteria and their resistance genes are discharged into natural environments via human and animal waste. Not much is known so far a ...

Aerolysin from Aeromonas hydrophila and related toxins

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami

Aeromonads are ubiquitous gram-negative bacteria found in aqueous environments. Some members of the genus are pathogenic for fish, reptiles and cows. In humans, Aeromonas infection is mainly associated with grastrointestinal diseases, but in immuno-comprom ...

Aerolysin--the ins and outs of a model channel-forming toxin

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

Aerolysin is one of a large group of bacterial proteins that can kill target cells by forming discrete channels in their plasma membranes. The toxin has many properties in common with the porins of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane, including an e ...
