  • A Link Between Ph Homeostasis and Colistin Resistance in Bacteria Pradip R
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A link between pH homeostasis and colistin resistance in bacteria Pradip R. Panta & William T. Doerrler* Colistin resistance is complex and multifactorial. DbcA is an inner membrane protein belonging to the DedA superfamily required for maintaining extreme colistin resistance of Burkholderia thailandensis. The molecular mechanisms behind this remain unclear. Here, we report that ∆dbcA displays alkaline pH/bicarbonate sensitivity and propose a role of DbcA in extreme colistin resistance of B. thailandensis by maintaining cytoplasmic pH homeostasis. We found that alkaline pH or presence of sodium bicarbonate displays a synergistic efect with colistin against not only extremely colistin resistant species like B. thailandensis and Serratia marcescens, but also a majority of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria tested, suggesting a link between cytoplasmic pH homeostasis and colistin resistance across species. We found that lowering the level of oxygen in the growth media or supplementation of fermentable sugars such as glucose not only alleviated alkaline pH stress, but also increased colistin resistance in most bacteria tested, likely by avoiding cytoplasmic alkalinization. Our observations suggest a previously unreported link between pH, oxygen, and colistin resistance. We propose that maintaining optimal cytoplasmic pH is required for colistin resistance in a majority of bacterial species, consistent with the emerging link between cytoplasmic pH homeostasis and antibiotic resistance. Colistin is a cationic antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) belonging to the polymyxin antibiotic family, which was frst isolated from a Gram-positive soil bacteria Bacillus polymyxa1. A rise in multidrug resistance among bacterial pathogens and a lack of new antimicrobial drugs have led to renewed interest in reviving older antimicrobial agents such as polymyxin2.

  • Review Article Carrie Packwood Freeman Protecting Meat
    H U M a N I M A L I A 8:2 Review Article Carrie Packwood Freeman Protecting Me at Kip Andersen & Keegan Kuhn, (Writers, Directors, & Producers). Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret . AUM films and First Spark Media. 2014. www.cowspiracy. com. A cow’s face stares at us on the DVD cover, and “cow” is in the name of the documentary, yet the marketing for Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret does not otherwise indicate that it is a film that animal rights and vegan advocates have special cause to celebrate. As a media scholar who falls in the latter two categories, I was pleased that this environmental documentary has much to offer the animal rights movement, as I will explain in this review. The film is eponymously framed as a thriller about industry and environmentalists conspiring to keep a secret. For example, cowspiracy.com calls it “the film that environmental organizations don’t want you to see,” and the DVD cover reads “there is one single industry destroying the planet more than any other. But environmental organizations don’t want to address it.” The back cover explains that the filmmaker investigates “why the leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it.” One can guess by the title’s reference to cows that the industry in question is animal agriculture; however, most of us are accustomed to environmental discussions of food typically restricting themselves to critiquing factory farming, while endorsing 168 locavorism, smaller-scale grass-fed or organic farming methods, and fishing of certain “sustainable” wild species, or some aquaculture methods (Bristow & Fitzgerald; Freeman, “Meat's Place”; Stanescu).

    PROJECT FACTS Title: Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret Genre: Documentary Run Time: Approximately 90 minutes Director: Kip Andersen, Keegan Kuhn Original Format: HD video Status of Film: Post-production Produced by: AUM Films, First Spark Media DVD Release: TBA Web: cowspiracy.com SHORT SYNOPSIS COWSPIRACY: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary following an intrepid filmmaker as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today – and investigates why the world's leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it. As eye-opening as Blackfish and as inspiring as An Inconvenient Truth, this shocking yet humorous documentary reveals the absolutely devastating environmental impact large-scale factory farming has on our planet. LONG SYNOPSIS Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary following intrepid filmmaker Kip Andersen as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today – and investigates why the world's leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, water consumption and pollution, is responsible for more greenhouse gases than the transportation industry, and is a primary driver of rainforest destruction, species extinction, habitat loss, topsoil erosion, ocean "dead zones," and virtually every other environmental ill. Yet it goes on, almost entirely unchallenged. As Andersen approaches leaders in the environmental movement, he increasingly uncovers what appears to be an intentional refusal to discuss the issue of animal agriculture, while industry whistleblowers and watchdogs warn him of the risks to his freedom and even his life if he dares to persist.
