    Abstract Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to obtain preliminary evidence for a communication coaching intervention, Dementia Collaborative Coaching. The secondary aim of this study was to assess the acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the intervention according to routine care providers.
    Method: In a pre-/posttest design, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) delivered Dementia Collaborative Coaching to certified nursing assistants (CNAs) and people living with dementia (PLWD) in six different skilled nursing facilities over a period of 6 weeks. A self-perceived knowledge and efficacy measure regarding the use of external memory aids to support communication in PLWD was administered to CNA and SLP participants. The Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory was administered to PLWD participants. The Acceptability of Intervention Measure, Intervention Appropriateness Measure, and Feasibility of Intervention Measure were administered post-intervention.
    Results: For CNAs, self-perceived knowledge and efficacy increased from pre-intervention (
    Conclusions: Dementia Collaborative Coaching showed preliminary positive outcomes for CNAs and PLWD. The intervention was acceptable, appropriate, and feasible for routine providers and warrants further study.

    Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii poses a great threat in health care settings worldwide, with clinical isolates displaying an ever-evolving multidrug resistance. In strains of A. baumannii, expression of multiple error-prone polymerase genes are corepressed by UmuDAb, a member of the LexA superfamily, and a small protein, DdrR. It is currently unknown how DdrR establishes this repression. Here, we used surface plasmon resonance spectrometry to show that DdrR formed a stable complex with the UmuDAb regulator. Our results indicated that the carboxy-terminal dimerization domain of UmuDAb formed the interaction interface with DdrR. Our

    Abstract We have developed a novel urea-inducible recombinant protein production system by exploiting the Proteus mirabilis urease ureR-ureD promoter region and the ureR AraC-family transcriptional regulator. Experiments using the expression of β-galactosidase and green fluorescent protein (GFP) showed that promoter activity is tightly regulated and that varying the concentration of urea can give up to 100-fold induction. Production of proteins of biopharmaceutical interest has been demonstrated, including human growth hormone (hGH), a single chain antibody fragment (scFv) against interleukin-1β and a potential Neisserial vaccine candidate (BamA

    Abstract Transcription in most bacteria is tightly regulated in order to facilitate bacterial adaptation to different environments, and transcription factors play a key role in this. Here we give a brief overview of the essential features of bacterial transcription factors and how they affect transcript initiation at target promoters. We focus on complex promoters that are regulated by combinations of activators and repressors, combinations of repressors only, or combinations of activators. At some promoters, transcript initiation is regulated by nucleoid-associated proteins, which often work together with transcription factors. We argue that the distinction between nucleoid-associated proteins and transcription factors is blurred and that they likely share common origins.

    Abstract Over the decades, the bacterium Escherichia coli (E. coli) has become the cornerstone of recombinant protein production, used for heterologous synthesis of a variety of membrane proteins. Due to its rapid growth to high densities in cheap media, and its ease of manipulation and handling, E. coli is an excellent host cell for a range of membrane protein targets. Furthermore, its genetic tractability allows for a variety of gene constructs to be screened for optimal expression conditions, resulting in relatively high yields of membrane protein in a short amount of time. Here, we describe the general workflow for the production of membrane proteins in E. coli. The protocols we provide show how the gene of interest is modified, transferred to an expression vector and host, and how membrane protein yields can be optimized and analyzed. The examples we illustrate are well suited for scientists who are starting their journey into the world of membrane protein production.

    Abstract Ecologically beneficial traits in bacteria are encoded by intrinsic and horizontally acquired genes. However, such traits are not universal, and the highly mosaic nature of bacterial genomes requires control at the transcriptional level to drive these processes. It has emerged that regulatory flexibility is widespread in the Escherichia coli species, whereby preexisting transcription factors can acquire new and unrelated roles in regulating beneficial traits. DsdC is the regulator of D-serine tolerance in E. coli, is essential for D-serine catabolism, and is often encoded by two copies in neonatal meningitis-associated E. coli (NMEC). Here, we reveal that DsdC is a global regulator of transcription in NMEC and does not require D-serine for the control of novel beneficial traits. We show that DsdC binds the chromosome in an unusual manner, with many binding sites arranged in clusters spanning entire operons and within gene coding sequences, such as neuO. Importantly, we identify neuO as the most significantly down-regulated gene in a strain deleted for both dsdC copies, in both the presence and absence of D-serine. NeuO is prophage encoded in several NMEC K1 isolates and mediates capsule O-acetylation but has no effect on attachment to or invasion of human brain endothelial cells. Instead, we demonstrate that NeuO provides resistance against K1 bacteriophage attack and that this critical function is regulated by DsdC. This work highlights how a horizontally acquired enzyme that functions in cell-surface modulation can be controlled by an intrinsic regulator to provide a key ecological benefit to an E. coli pathotype.
