Analysis of the salivary microbiome using culture-independent techniques.
Vladimir Lazarevic,Katrine Whiteson,Nadia Gaïa,Yann Gizard,David Hernandez,Laurent Farinelli,Magne Osteras,Patrice Francois,Jacques Schrenzel +8 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the salivary metagenome may have implications in diagnostics e.g. in detection of microorganisms and viruses without designing specific tests for each pathogen.
Bacterial Diversity in Oral Samples of Children in Niger with Acute Noma, Acute Necrotizing Gingivitis, and Healthy Controls
Ignacio Bolivar,Katrine Whiteson,Benoît Stadelmann,Denise Baratti-Mayer,Yann Gizard,Andrea Mombelli,Didier Pittet,Didier Pittet,Jacques Schrenzel +8 more
TL;DR: Analysis of bacterial composition and frequency showed that diseased (noma or acute necrotizing gingivitis) and healthy site bacterial communities are composed of similar bacteria, but differ in the prevalence of a limited group of phylotypes.
Mupirocin-Induced Mutations in ileS in Various Genetic Backgrounds of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Andie S Lee,Yann Gizard,Joanna Empel,Eve-Julie Bonetti,Stéphan Juergen Harbarth,Patrice Francois +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that exposure to mupirocin led to rapid induction of low-level resistance (MICs of 8 to 24 μg/ml) in 11 of 24 MRSA isolates and Acquisition of mutations appeared to be a stepwise process during prolonged incubation with the drug.

Characterization of Streptococcus tigurinus Small-Colony Variants Causing Prosthetic Joint Infection by Comparative Whole-Genome Analyses
Andrea Zbinden,Chantal Quiblier,David Hernandez,Kathrin Herzog,Paul Bodler,Maria M. Senn,Yann Gizard,Jacques Schrenzel,Patrice Francois +8 more
TL;DR: SCVs of Streptococcus tigurinus are described for the first time in a patient with a prosthetic joint infection and reveal major alterations in cell separation and morphological abnormalities, which were partially explained by impaired autolytic behavior.
Whole-Genome Sequences of Streptococcus tigurinus Type Strain AZ_3a and S. tigurinus 1366, a Strain Causing Prosthetic Joint Infection.
TL;DR: The complete genome sequences of the S. tigurinus type strain AZ_3a and S. TIGurinus strain 1366 are reported to assist in the characterization of virulence determinants of S.Tigurinian infections.
