Intestinal microbiota regulates multiple host metabolic and immunological processes. Consequently, any difference in its qualitative and quantitative composition is susceptible to exert significant effects, in particular along the gut-liver axis. Indeed, recent findings suggest that such changes modulate the severity and the evolution of a wide spectrum of hepatobiliary disorders. However, the...

Hook length of the bacterial flagellum is optimized for maximal stability of the flagellar bundle

Spöring, Imke ; Martinez, Vincent A. ; Hotz, Christian ; Schwarz-Linek, Jana ; Grady, Keara L. ; Nava-Sedeño, Josué M. ; Vissers, Teun ; Singer, Hanna M. ; Rohde, Manfred ; Bourquin, Carole ; Hatzikirou, Haralampos ; Poon, Wilson C. K. ; Dufour, Yann S. ; Erhardt, Marc

Most bacteria swim in liquid environments by rotating one or several flagella. The long external filament of the flagellum is connected to a membrane-embedded basal body by a flexible universal joint, the hook, which allows the transmission of motor torque to the filament. The length of the hook is controlled on a nanometer scale by a sophisticated molecular ruler mechanism. However, why its...

Les effets du miel sur la cicatrice de césarienne : Travail de Bachelor

Dufour, Julie ; Santagata, Marika ; Nunno, Catia (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de santé Genève, 2017.

Cadre de référence : l’incidence des complications associées à la césarienne est une préoccupation importante dans le métier de sage-femme. D’autant plus que le pourcentage de cet acte a nettement augmenté dans les dernières années. Bien qu’une prise de conscience générale soit advenue et que le taux de césariennes ait certainement atteint son maximum, ce geste demeure une...

Life traits of four Botryosphaeriaceae species and molecular responses of different grapevine cultivars or hybrids

Bellée, A. ; Comont, G. ; Nivault, A. ; Abou-Mansour, Eliane ; Coppin, C. ; Dufour, M. C. ; Corio-Costet, M. F.

In: Plant Pathology, 2017, vol. 66, no. 5, p. 763–776

Botryosphaeriaceae is a fungal family comprising many species involved in botryosphaeria dieback, a worldwide grapevine trunk disease. Currently, the interactions between Botryosphaeriaceae species and various grapevine cultivars are poorly understood and little data is available. This study investigated various life traits of five isolates belonging to four species of Botryosphaeriaceae...
