Rapid and sensitive detection of Listeria monocytogenes by cross‐priming amplification of lmo0733 gene
This study reports the development of single cross‐priming amplification (S‐CPA) and double CPA (D‐CPA) assays targeting species‐specific gene lmo0733 for identifying L. monocytogenes strains. The CPA assays were performed at a constant temperature 64 °C using seven specific primers and evaluated for specificity and sensitivity. The color change of positive amplification was directly observed by Loopamp® Fluorescent Detection Reagent (FD), and the DNA products were visualized as a ladder‐like banding pattern on 2.5% gel electrophoresis. Moreover, the positive reactions were also detected by real‐time measur...

Multiple invasion mechanisms and different intracellular Behaviors: a new vision of Salmonella–host cell interaction
Abstract
Salmonella is a facultative intracellular bacterium found within a variety of phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells in vitro and in vivo. For decades, it has been accepted that Salmonella can enter cells only through a Trigger mechanism mediated by a type three secretion system, called T3SS‐1. However, recent researches have shown that this bacterium can use other invasion pathways mediating either Trigger or Zipper entry processes. Following eukaryotic cell invasion, Salmonella has to ensure its survival and proliferation within host cells. To do so, this bacterium resides either within a membrane‐bound vacuole ...

Utilization of organophosphate:phosphate antiporter for isotope‐labeling experiments in E. coli
Abstract
The transport of organophosphates across the cytoplasma membrane is mediated by organophosphate:phosphate antiporter proteins. In this work, we present the application of a recombinant phosphoenolpyruvate:phosphate antiporter for isotopic labeling experiments in E. coli strains. The antiporters UhpT, UhpT‐D388C, and PgtP were investigated regarding transport activity and growth on phosphoenolpyruvate as sole carbon source. The expression of the protein variant UhpT‐D388C in a shikimic acid producing E. coli strain was used to show the successful isotopic labeling of shikimic acid from extracellular phosphoen...

Bacillus thuringiensis membrane ‐damaging toxins acting on mammalian cells
Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis is widely used as a biopesticide in forestry and agriculture, being able to produce potent species‐specific insecticidal toxins and considered nonpathogenic to other animals. More recently, however, repeated observations are documenting the association of this microorganism with various infectious diseases in humans, such as food‐poisoning‐associated diarrheas, periodontitis, bacteremia, as well as ocular, burn, and wound infections. Similar to B. cereus, B. thuringiensis produces an array of virulence factors acting against mammalian cells, such as phosphatidylcholine‐ and phospha...
