Dylus, David ; Pillonel, Trestan ; Opota, Onya ; Wüthrich, Daniel ; Seth-Smith, Helena M. B. ; Egli, Adrian ; Leo, Stefano ; Lazarevic, Vladimir ; Schrenzel, Jacques ; Laurent, Sacha ; Bertelli, Claire ; Blanc, Dominique S. ; Neuenschwander, Stefan ; Ramette, Alban ; Falquet, Laurent ; Imkamp, Frank ; Keller, Peter M. ; Kahles, Andre ; Oberhaensli, Simone ; Barbié, Valérie ; Dessimoz, Christophe ; Greub, Gilbert ; Lebrand, Aitana

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) enables high resolution typing of bacteria up to the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) level. WGS is used in clinical microbiology laboratories for infection control, molecular surveillance and outbreak analyses. Given the large palette of WGS reagents and bioinformatics tools, the Swiss clinical bacteriology community decided to conduct a ring trial (RT) to...

H2S, a Bacterial Defense Mechanism against the Host Immune Response

Toliver-Kinsky, Tracy ; Cui, Weihua ; Törö, Gabor ; Lee, Seung-Jin ; Shatalin, Konstantin ; Nudler, Evgeny ; Szabo, Csaba

In: Infection and Immunity, 2019, vol. 87, no. 1, p. e00272-18

The biological mediator hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is produced by bacteria and has been shown to be cytoprotective against oxidative stress and to increase the sensitivity of various bacteria to a range of antibiotic drugs. Here we evaluated whether bacterial H2S provides resistance against the immune response, using two bacterial species that are common sources of nosocomial infections,...
