The IclR-family transcriptional regulator XyrR controls flotation, motility, antibiotic production and virulence in Serratia sp. ATCC 39006 by Carlo Miguel Castro Sandoval, Carlo Miguel Castro Sandoval, George P. C. Salmond

“…Furthermore, the mutant also showed increased swimming and swarming motilities but exhibited attenuated virulence in planta and ability to kill the nematode C. elegans. Using differential expression analysis of the intracellular proteomes of the wild type and iclR mutant, we confirmed that the mutation negatively impacted expression of the corresponding GV, carbapenem and prodigiosin gene clusters. …”

Development of real-time PCR methods for quality control detection of pathogenic bacteria in cosmetic preparations by Veronica Bolzon, Michela Bulfoni, Alessandro Nencioni, Emanuele Nencioni

“…ISO standards offer guidelines for reliable and consistent microbial detection methods, to guarantee the effectiveness of traditional and molecular techniques in food and cosmetic safety testing.MethodsThis study evaluates real-time PCR (rt-PCR) as an alternative to the traditional plate-based method for the detection of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans in cosmetic formulations.Results and discussionrt-PCR consistently demonstrated superior sensitivity and reliability, particularly in detecting pathogens at low inoculum levels and within complex matrices. For all pathogens, rt-PCR achieved a 100% detection rate across all replicates, reaching the same or superior results than the classical plate method. rt-PCR’s ability to directly target DNA overcomes issues related to colony morphology and microbial competition. …”

“Second Generations” and Identity in Andrea Cotti’s 'Luca Wu' Series: An Opportunity for a Fruitful Intercultural and Transnational Dialogue in Italian Crime Fiction by Marco Paoli

“…Through investigating, rhetorically, these elements’ ability to challenge the common Sino-Italian discourse and potentially change readers’ beliefs and attitudes in the real world, it is argued that these texts provide readers with an opportunity to develop an intercultural mind, which enables them to produce a more complex and thoughtful reflection and dialogue on the notion of Italianness and on issues such as structural violence, citizenship, identity, integration and in-between positions, as well as, more generally, the important role that cultural artefacts can play in intercultural and immigration public debates.…”
