    Abstract Microbial cell individuality is receiving increasing interest in the scientific community. Individual cells within clonal populations exhibit noticeable phenotypic heterogeneity. The advent of fluorescent protein technology and advances in single-cell analysis has revealed phenotypic cell variant in bacterial populations. This heterogeneity is evident in a wide range of phenotypes, for example, individual cells display variable degrees of gene expression and survival under selective conditions and stresses, and can exhibit differing propensities to host interactions. Last few years, numerous cell sorting approaches have been employed for resolving the properties of bacterial subpopulations. This review provides an overview of applications of cell sorting to analyze

    Abstract Advances in technologies that permit high-resolution analysis of events in single cells have revealed that phenotypic heterogeneity is a widespread phenomenon in bacteria. Flow cytometry has the potential to describe the distribution of cellular properties within a population of bacterial cells and has yielded invaluable information about the ability of isogenic cells to diversify into phenotypic subpopulations. This review will discuss several single-cell approaches that have recently been applied to define phenotypic heterogeneity in populations of Salmonella enterica.

    Abstract In all living cells, genomic DNA is compacted through interactions with dedicated proteins and/or the formation of plectonemic coils. In bacteria, DNA compaction is achieved dynamically, coordinated with dense and constantly changing transcriptional activity. H-NS, a major bacterial nucleoid structuring protein, is of special interest due to its interplay with RNA polymerase. H-NS:DNA nucleoprotein filaments inhibit transcription initiation by RNA polymerase. However, the discovery that genes silenced by H-NS can be activated by transcription originating from neighboring regions has suggested that elongating RNA polymerases can disassemble H-NS:DNA filaments. In this study, we present evidence that transcription-induced counter-silencing does not require transcription to reach the silenced gene; rather, it exerts its effect at a distance. Counter-silencing is suppressed by introducing a DNA gyrase binding site within the intervening segment, suggesting that the long-range effect results from transcription-driven positive DNA supercoils diffusing toward the silenced gene. We propose a model wherein H-NS:DNA complexes form in vivo on negatively supercoiled DNA, with H-NS bridging the two arms of the plectoneme. Rotational diffusion of positive supercoils generated by neighboring transcription will cause the H-NS-bound negatively-supercoiled plectoneme to "unroll" disrupting the H-NS bridges and releasing H-NS.

    Abstract Background: The place of monoclonal antibodies in metastatic colorectal cancer has not been clearly defined.
    Objective: To determine the treatment pattern of monoclonal antibodies in colorectal cancer patients in the Andalusian Public Healthcare System.
    Method: Data were collected from all patients treated with these drugs from July 2009 to December 2010 from pharmacy programs and medical records.
    Results: Three hundred patients were included, of whom 227 received the antibody at the forefront. The proportion of patients who received bevacizumab in the first line is greater than that of cetuximab (62.1 vs. 37.5 % respectively) and similar in the second line and subsequent (47.8 vs. 53.8 % and 48.5 vs. 46.2 % respectively). XELOXbevacizumab was the most frequently prescribed scheme (35.3 %) followed by FOLFOX-monoclonal antibody schemes, regardless that this was bevacizumab or cetuximab (22.5 %). The median progression free survival (PFS) was 11.7 months for patients receiving cetuximab, 9.6 months for patients receiving bevacizumab and 8.2 months for those who received no monoclonal antibody in the first line.
    Conclusion: Bevacizumab was the antibody of choice in first line, showing utilization rates similar to cetuximab in second line and subsequent. The median PFS in our study is related to the PFS of the major clinical trials.
