Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus Parasitism in Shigella Species.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus was capable of parasitizing Shigella boydii, S. flexneri, and S. sonnei. The bdellovibrio was able to produce plaques on lawns consisting of heat-killed or ultraviolet-irradiated S. boydii.

Injections of Predatory Bacteria Work Alongside Host Immune Cells to Treat Shigella Infection in Zebrafish Larvae
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus are predatory bacteria that invade and kill a range of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens in natural environments and in vitro [1, 2]. In this study, we investigated Bdellovibrio as an injected, antibacterial treatment in vivo, using zebrafish (Danio rerio) larvae infected with an antibiotic-resistant strain of the human pathogen Shigella flexneri. When injected alone,...
متن کاملBdellovibrio bacteriovorus Predation in Dual-Species Biofilms of E. coli Prey and M. luteus Decoys
Biofilms are matrix-enclosed microbial communities that grow at interfaces. They are highly robust and exhibit significant phenotypic changes that render them resistant to many antibacterial agents that can kill their freeswimming counterparts. Researchers have tried to find an effective, alternative and bio-friendly way to eliminate biofilms. Previous investigations in this group demonstrated ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the first highly predatory Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus from Iran and its potential lytic activity against principal pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae
Objective(s): Bdellovibrio-and-like organisms (BALOs) are predatory prokaryotes that attack and kill other Gram-negative bacteria for growth and reproduction. This study describes the isolation, identification, biological properties, and bacteriolytic activity of the first Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus with a broad prey range from Iran.Materials and Meth...
متن کاملDevelopment of a novel genetic system to create markerless deletion mutants of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus.
Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a species of unique obligate predatory bacteria that utilize gram-negative bacteria as prey. Their life cycle alternates between a motile extracellular phase and a growth phase within the prey cell periplasm. The mechanism of prey cell invasion and the genetic networks and regulation during the life cycle have not been elucidated. The obligate predatory nature of t...
متن کاملHigher Prevalence and Abundance of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus in the Human Gut of Healthy Subjects
INTRODUCTION Members of the human intestinal microbiota are key players in maintaining human health. Alterations in the composition of gut microbial community (dysbiosis) have been linked with important human diseases. Understanding the underlying processes that control community structure, including the bacterial interactions within the microbiota itself, is essential. Bdellovibrio bacteriovor...
