“…RESULTS: A differential fluorescence induction (DFI) approach was applied to identify genes that are up-regulated in the bacterium after infection of the insect host Galleria mellonella. For this purpose, a P. luminescens promoter-trap library utilizing the mCherry fluorophore as a reporter was constructed, and approximately 13,000 clones were screened for fluorescence induction in the presence of a G. mellonella larvae homogenate. …”

“…These findings correlate with a low capacity of NCIMB8209 to form biofilm and pellicle, low motility on semisolid medium, and low virulence toward Galleria mellonella and Caenorhabditis elegans. Searching for catabolic genes and concomitant metabolic assays revealed the ability of NCIMB8209 to grow on a wide range of substances produced by plants, including aromatic acids and defense compounds against external aggressors. …”

“…RESULTS: Blood samples collected between January 2017 and May 2019 were used for virulence experiments and biofilm assays of individual carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CR-AB) strains, performed using a Galleria mellonella infection model and crystal violet staining method, respectively. …”

“…The shoA, msbA, and opyA singly and doubly null mutants are important for the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway, oxidative stress, and virulence as assessed by a Galleria mellonella model. Genetic interactions of ShoA, MsbA, and OpyA are also important for proper activation of the SakA(Hog1p) and MpkA(Slt2) cascade and the response to osmotic and cell wall stresses. …”

“…The five mcr-positive isolates were multidrug resistant, and two S. enterica and one E. hormaechei isolate showed a hypervirulent phenotype compared to a hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae type strain in a Galleria mellonella infection model. The mcr-1 gene was carried by an IncX4-type pA1-like epidemic plasmid, and the mcr-9 gene was detected on IncHI2/2A-type novel plasmids co-carrying multiple resistance genes. …”
