Most E. coli bacteria live harmlessly in the intestines of humans and other warm-blooded animals, but the strain identified in the hospital outbreak -- O157 H7 -- can be deadly.
"These infections occur in men, women, adults, children and persons of all races and sexual orientations," the statement read, adding that while the particular strain identified in the report had been found in gay men, it had also been found in people who were not gay.
Though the particular drug-resistant strain identified in Australia has yet to be reported from American aquariums, Dr. Fred Angulo of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that taking the sorts of precautions that Dr. Lightfoot and Dr. Gaulin recommended made good sense.
Present study was focused on cellulase production from an indigenously isolated filamentous fungal strain, identified as Penicillium oxalicum.
Screening against the chloroquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum W2 strain identified novel aurones with IC50 values in the low micromolar range.
Feather-degrading bacteria were isolated from living poultry and a single strain, identified as Kocuria rhizophila p3-3, exhibited significant keratinolytic properties.
A natural bacterial strain identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MBAA3 using 16S rDNA partial genome sequencing has been studied for optimization of cellulase production.
Production of an extracellular, acidic pectin methylesterase was carried out by a newly isolated fungal strain identified as Aspergillus tubingensis using dried papaya peel under solid state fermentation.
The JAW1 strain, identified as Pseudomonas azotoformans, was selected and applied in bioremediation of the specific mixture of metals (Cd, Cu, and Pb) in an aqueous medium.
In that research, among 400 soil samples, only 4 strains showed clear zones with PLA emulsion, but only 1 strain (identified as Paenibacillus amylolyticus) was effectively degrading PBSA, PBS and PCL as well.
Whole genome sequencing of the evolved strain identified a point mutation in the gatC gene, which resulted in a change from serine to leucine at position 184 of the GatC protein.
