The influence of dispersed saponite on growth activity of Bacillus subtilis IMV B-7023 and its streptomycin resistant mutant has been shown. The effectiveness of this process depends on the content of dispersed material and phosphate in the medium. It has been found that when B. subtilis is cultured in the medium containing 0.6 g/l PO4(3-) stimulation of bacteria growth is observed, but at a lower concentration (0.1 g/l PO4(3-)) there is a decline in the culture growth activity. At the same time streptomycin resistant mutant is shown to increase growth activity in the growth medium which contains up to 1.0 g/l saponite, regardless of the concentration of phosphate. It is shown that this effect is a consequence of uniformity of surface properties of streptomycin resistant strain of bacteria and similar parent strain at a concentration of 0.6 g/l PO4(3-).

The discoveries of penicillin and streptomycin were pivotal for infection control with the knowledge subsequently being used to enable the discovery of many other antibiotics currently used in clinical practice. These valuable compounds are generally derived from mesophilic soil microorganisms, predominantly Streptomyces species. Unfortunately, problems with the replication of results suggested that this discovery strategy was no longer viable, motivating a switch to combinatorial chemistry in conjunction with existing screening programmes to derive new antimicrobials.

Background And Aim: In animal husbandry, antibiotics are frequently used as growth promoters, as well as for illness prevention and treatment. They are considered important toxic and allergenic contaminants of food and a serious risk factor for the spread of antibiotic resistance. National and international regulatory authorities have established limits on the permissible residue of antibiotics in food.

Understanding factors influencing community resilience to disturbance is critical for mitigating harm at various scales, including harm from medication to gut microbiota and harm from human activity to global biodiversity, yet there is a lack of data from large-scale controlled experiments. Factors expected to boost resilience include prior exposure to the same disturbance and dispersal from undisturbed patches. Here we set up an in vitro system to test the effect of disturbance pre-exposure and dispersal represented by community mixing.

are opportunistic pathogens which can cause mastitis in dairy cattle. mastitis often has a poor cure rate and can lead to the development of chronic infection, which has an impact on both health and production. However, there are few studies which aim to fully characterize by whole-genome sequencing from bovine mastitis cases.

A major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) therapeutics is that antibiotic exposure leads to changes in the physiology of (), which may enable the pathogen to withstand treatment. While antibiotic-treated has been evaluated in experiments it is unclear if and how long-term treatment with diverse antibiotics with varying treatment-shortening activity (sterilizing activity) affects physiologic processes differently. Here, we used SEARCH-TB, a pathogen-targeted RNA-sequencing platform, to characterize the transcriptome in the BALB/c high-dose aerosol infection mouse model following 4 weeks of treatment with three sterilizing and three non-sterilizing antibiotics.
