Repeated sub-inhibitory doses of cassia essential oil do not increase the tolerance pattern in Listeria monocytogenes cells

M. Bermudez-Capdevila et al.

Summary: This study aims to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of four essential oils in four strains of Listeria monocytogenes and investigate the effect of subinhibitory doses of the most effective oil on the strains, as well as their sensitivity to antibiotics after exposure to the oil. The results showed a decrease in the initial MIC after continuous exposure to 1/2 MIC, but no differences were observed in biofilm formation. Additionally, differences were observed in the structure of the biofilms and extracellular matrix before and after contact with the oil.

Characterization of a strain of Serratia sp. with ixodicide activity against the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus

Edgar Castro-Saines et al.

Summary: Cattle ticks are a major ectoparasite in the livestock industry, causing economic losses through feeding on livestock and disease transmission. This study isolated 83 bacterial strains from soil and dead Rhipicephalus microplus specimens, with only one strain (EC-35) showing ixodicide activity. EC-35, identified as Serratia sp., had the highest mortality rate on larvae at a protein concentration of 40 μg/mL and on adult ticks at a protein concentration of 10 μg/mL.

Primer, Pipelines, Parameters: Issues in 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing

Isabel Abellan-Schneyder et al.

Summary: Short-amplicon 16S rRNA gene sequencing is the preferred method for studying microbiomes, but the choice of primers, databases, and bioinformatics settings significantly influence the outcomes. It is important to independently validate results generated by different primer pairs and consider the impact of database discrepancies on taxonomic assignment accuracy. Appropriate amplicon truncation, thorough testing of processing pipelines, and the use of complex mock communities are crucial for accurate microbial composition analysis.
