Draft Genome of Rhodococcus rhodochrous TRN7, Isolated from the Coast of Trindade Island, Brazil
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016)
The Endophytic Strain Klebsiella michiganensis Kd70 Lacks Pathogenic Island-Like Regions in Its Genome and Is Incapable of Infecting the Urinary Tract in Mice
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-07-16)
Klebsiella spp. have been isolated from many different environmental habitats but have mainly been associated with nosocomial acquired diseases in humans. Although there are many recently published sequenced genomes of ...
Plasticity of Corynebacterium diphtheriae pathogenicity islands revealed by PCR
(2011)
Despite the existence of a vaccine against diphtheria, this disease remains endemic and is reemerging in several regions due to many factors, including variations in genes coding for virulence factors. One common feature ...
Heavy metal resistance strategies of acidophilic bacteria and their acquisition: Importance for biomining and bioremediation
(2013)
Microbial solubilizing of metals in acid environments is successfully used in industrial bioleaching of ores or biomining to extract metals such as copper, gold, uranium and others. This is done mainly by acidophilic and ...
Comparative and phylogenetic analysis of a novel family of Enterobacteriaceae-associated genomic islands that share a conserved excision/integration module
(2018)
Genomic Islands (GIs) are DNA regions acquired through horizontal gene transfer that encode advantageous traits for bacteria. Many GIs harbor genes that encode the molecular machinery required for their excision from the ...
Genome-wide identification of runs of homozygosity islands in the Gyr breed (Bos indicus)
(2020-03-01)
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous homozygous regions of the genome. These regions can be used to identify genes associated with traits of economic interest, as well as inbreeding levels. The aim of the present study ...
Characterization of genomic island 3 and genetic variability of Chilean field strains of Brucella abortus
(2011)
One of the capabilities developed by bacteria is the ability to gain large fragments of DNA from other bacteria or to lose portions of their own genomes. Among these exchangeable fragments are the genomic islands (GIs). ...
Pathogenicity island region of clinical and environmental strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, isolated in Chile Isla de patogenicidad de Vibrio parahaemolyticus en cepas chilenas clínicas y ambientales
(2009)
Background: Most clinical isolates of Vibrio parahaemolyticus produce a major virulence factor known as the thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH). TDH is encoded by the tdh gene which is located in a genomic pathogenicity ...
