Abstract A Gram-negative, aerobic, motile by gliding, rod-shaped bacterium, strain 17J68-2T, was isolated from a soil sample taken from Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. The isolate displayed high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the members of the genus Lysobacter in the family Lysobacteraceae, with Lysobacter humi FJY8T (98.4% similarity), Lysobacter xinjiangensis RCML-52T (98.3%), and Lysobacter mobilis 9NM-14T (98.1%) as closest phylogenetic neighbors. Growth of strain 17J68-2T...

Abstract The multi-drug resistance of Gram-negative rods is one of the most important issues of present medicine. In recent years, more and more strains resistant to the majority or to all possible therapeutic options have been isolated—especially Klebsiella spp. and Pseudomonas spp. representatives. It is very important to detect strains with these phenotypes as quickly and reliably as possible. The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of eazyplex® SuperBug CRE test...

Abstract Background Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is expressed in several metabolically active tissues, including liver, fat, and acinar pancreas, and has pleiotropic effects on metabolic homeostasis. The dominant source of FGF21 in the circulation is the liver. Objective and methods To analyze the physiological functions of hepatic FGF21, we generated...

רבים פונים אל האקדמיה ללשון בשאלה – קַשׁ לשתייה או קַשִּׁית לשתייה? האקדמיה אומנם לא עסקה בכך, אולם במילוני העברית מקובלת ההבחנה הזאת: 'קשית' – צינורית המשמשת לשתייה, ו'קש' – קְנה תבואה יבש, וגם שם קיבוצי – קְנֵי תבואה, כשימושו במקרא: "לְקֹשֵׁשׁ קַשׁ לַתֶּבֶן" (שמות ה, יב). המילה 'קשית' נוצרה בהוספת הסיומת ־ִית למילה קַשׁ כמו מילים רבות אחרות. נשאלת השאלה איזו משמעות יש כאן לסיומת. בעברית החדשה הסיומת ־ִית משמשת במגוון תפקידים. המוכרים הם: הקטנה – כגון כפית, מפית, כוסית, שקית, ארונית, מחסנית,...

Many mycoplasma species are isolated from the ruminant lungs as either saprophytes or true pathogens. These wall-less bacteria possess a minimal genome and reduced metabolic capabilities. Accordingly, they rely heavily on their hosts for the supply of essential metabolites and, notably, peptides. Seven of 13 ruminant lung-associated Mycoplasma (sub)species were shown to possess caseinolytic activity when grown in rich media and assessed with a quantitative fluorescence test. For some species, this...

While microbiome studies have focused on diversity at the species level or higher, bacterial species in microbiomes are represented by different, often multiple, strains. These strains could be clonally and phenotypically very different, making assessment of strain content vital to a full understanding of microbiome function. This is especially important with respect to antibiotic-resistant strains, the clonal spread of which may be dependent on competition between them and susceptible strains from...

The data is combined in a manner that acts like a filter on the T2 spectrum. The choice of weighting coefficients determines the filter specifications (e.g. passband/stopband locations, stopband suppression factors). To perform...

Abstract In recent years, many genes have been associated with chromatinopathies classified as “Cornelia de Lange Syndrome‐like”. It is known that the phenotype of these patients becomes less recognisable, overlapping to features characteristic of other syndromes caused by genetic variants affecting different regulators of chromatin structure and function. Therefore, Cornelia de Lange Syndrome diagnosis might be arduous due to the seldom discordance between unexpected molecular diagnosis...
