    Abstract: ... mechanisms, target gene number, or the features of their DNA-binding sites are insufficient as marks ...

    Abstract Proteins that regulate transcription often also play an architectural role in the genome. Thus, it has been difficult to define with precision the distinctions between transcription factors and nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs). Anachronistic descriptions of NAPs as 'histone-like' implied an organizational function in a bacterial chromatin-like complex. Definitions based on protein abundance, regulatory mechanisms, target gene number, or the features of their DNA-binding sites are insufficient as marks of distinction, and trying to distinguish transcription factors and NAPs based on their ranking within regulatory hierarchies or positions in gene-control networks is also unsatisfactory. The terms 'transcription factor' and 'NAP' are ad hoc operational definitions with each protein lying along a spectrum of structural and functional features extending from highly specific actors with few gene targets to those with a pervasive influence on the transcriptome. The Streptomyces BldC protein is used to illustrate these issues.

    Abstract For over a decade, Streptomyces venezuelae has been used to study the molecular mechanisms that control morphological development in streptomycetes and is now a well-established model strain. Its rapid growth and ability to sporulate in a near-synchronised manner in liquid culture, unusual among streptomycetes, greatly facilitates the application of modern molecular techniques such as ChIP-seq and RNA-seq, as well as time-lapse fluorescence imaging of the complete Streptomyces life cycle. Here we describe a high-quality genome sequence of our isolate of the strain (Northern Regional Research Laboratory [NRRL] B-65442) consisting of an 8.2 Mb chromosome and a 158 kb plasmid, pSVJI1, which had not been reported previously. Surprisingly, while NRRL B-65442 yields green spores on MYM agar, the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) type strain 10712 (from which NRRL B-65442 was derived) produces grey spores. While comparison of the genome sequences of the two isolates revealed almost total identity, it did reveal a single nucleotide substitution in a gene, vnz_33525, involved in spore pigment biosynthesis. Replacement of the vnz_33525 allele of ATCC 10712 with that of NRRL B-65442 resulted in green spores, explaining the discrepancy in spore pigmentation. We also applied CRISPR-Cas9 to delete the essential parB of pSVJI1 to cure the plasmid from the strain without obvious phenotypic consequences.

    Abstract Hintergrund: Kontinuierliche periphere Nervenblockaden (Continuous peripheral nerve blocks, CPNB) werden am häufigsten zur perioperativen Analgesie bei chirurgischen Eingriffen eingesetzt. Alternative Indikationen wie die Behandlung tumorbedingter Schmerzen sind die Ausnahme, gleichwohl das Verfahren auch hier effektiv eingesetzt werden kann.
    Fallbericht: Bei einer 59-jährigen Patientin mit Bronchialkarzinom konnte der durch Metastasierung in der Tibia verursachte starke Schmerz mittels 28-tägiger CPNB des N. ischiadicus und des N. saphenus bis zu ihrem Versterben effektiv behandelt werden. Neben der Schmerzreduktion auf ein Minimum wurde die vorhergehende opioidassoziierte Vigilanzminderung verringert, wodurch sich die Lebensqualität in der letzten Lebensphase steigern ließ.
    Schlussfolgerungen: CPNB können auch in der Palliativmedizin regional begrenzte Schmerzen effektiv behandeln. Aufgrund der notwendigen Versorgungsstrukturen wird es aber ein Verfahren bleiben, das nur für einzelne Palliativpatient*innen sinnvoll und indiziert ist.

    Abstract In response to the airborne release of biothreat agents, surface sampling is often used to provide information on bioaerosol dispersal and deposition, to identify biocontaminant sources, and determine the effectiveness of decontamination. The objective of this project was to use aerosolization and deposition of dry spores to evaluate the efficiency of the cellulose sponge wipe and 37-mm cassette micro vacuum surface sampling methods for the collection of microorganisms from two contaminated surfaces, metal and concrete. Aerosolization trials were performed in a room-sized test chamber with known airborne concentrations of Bacillus atrophaeus spores serving as a surrogate for a bioterrorism agent. Following each aerosolization trial, the chamber heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) system was turned off to allow airborne spores to settle onto the test materials. Surface sampling was conducted and culture analysis was used to determine the concentration of B. atrophaeus on the surfaces. Results were compared with reference samples to determine the collection efficiency of the sampling methods. The sponge wipe sampling method was significantly more effective than the vacuum method for the collection of B. atrophaeus from both metal and concrete surfaces (P < 0.001). The collection efficiency of the sponge wipe method was 39.5% for metal and 26.5% for concrete, while the collection efficiency of the vacuum method was 7.6% for metal and 9.3% for concrete. The results of this study provided data on the collection efficiencies of two surface sampling methods for detection and enumeration of biocontaminants and can aid in selection of sampling methods.
