The Ochrobactrum genus consists of an extensive repertoire of biotechnologically valuable bacterial strains but also opportunistic pathogens. In our previous study, a novel strain, Ochrobactrum sp. POC9, which enhances biogas production in wastewater...
Ochrobactrum species are non-enteric, Gram-negative organisms that are closely related to the genus Brucella. Since the designation of the genus in 1988, several distinct species have now been characterised and implicated as opportunistic pathogens i...
Pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with bacterial pathogens contributing significantly to its burden. While Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii complex are well-recognized non-fermenting Gram-negati...
Environment is recognized as a huge reservoir for bacterial species and a source of human pathogens. Some environmental bacteria have an extraordinary range of activities that include promotion of plant growth or disease, breakdown of pollutants, pro...
Introduction: The study aimed to provide a systematic review and analysis of previously reported studies investigating the association between the bacterial microbiome and the incidence of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Material and ...
Fish populations play an active role in the maintenance of aquatic ecosystems biodiversity. Their intestinal microbiota and fillet chemistry depend on abiotic and biotic factors of the water environments that they inhabit. The present study investiga...
Human brucellosis caused by Brucella is a widespread zoonosis that is prevalent in many countries globally. The high homology between members of the Brucella genus and Ochrobactrum spp. often complicates the determination of disease etiology in patie...
For decades, bacteriophages (phages) have been used for Brucella species identification in the diagnosis and epidemiology of brucellosis. Traditional Brucella phage typing is a multi-day procedure including the isolation of a pure culture, a step tha...
Tectona grandis L.f. (teak) is a tropical tree cultivated mainly due to its resistance, valuable wood and tolerance to biotic and abiotic factors. An abundant bacteria community exists in teak tissues and knowledge of the functional roles of teak end...
