TL;DR: The DNA sequences investigated exhibited a high degree of sequence similarity indicating a close relationship between the species of the B. cereus group, and strongly support a hitherto unrecognized fifth sub-group within the B.'s cereus species group comprising psychrotolerant, but not mesophilic, B. mycoides strains.

TL;DR: This paper shows for the first time that bioluminescence offers a method for monitoring S. aureus infections in vivo that is sensitive and noninvasive and requires fewer animals than conventional methodologies.

TL;DR: A diverse population of bacteria was detected within tissue collected from sites all around the breast in women aged 18 to 90, not all of whom had a history of lactation, and the principal phylum was Proteobacteria.

TL;DR: In vivo bioluminescence imaging was employed to determine the location of the infection over time in live animals, revealing strong signals from the gall bladder over a period of several days, in diseased as well as asymptomatic animals and suggesting that L. monocytogenes may be carried in the human gall bladder.

TL;DR: It is concluded that vanco-800CW has a high potential for enhanced non-invasive diagnosis of infections with Gram-positive bacteria and is a promising candidate for early-phase clinical trials.
