What Makes a Bacterial Species Pathogenic?:Comparative Genomic Analysis of the Genus Leptospira
(Public Library of Science, 2016)
Leptospirosis, caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, is a globally widespread, neglected and emerging zoonotic disease. While whole genome analysis of individual pathogenic, intermediately pathogenic and saprophytic ...
Bacterial Photosensory Proteins and Their Role in Plant–pathogen Interactions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-05)
Light is an important environmental signal for almost all living organisms. The light perception is achieved by photoreceptor proteins. As can be observed from the great number of bacterial genomes sequenced, plant pathogenic ...
Systems biology approach predicts antibody signature associated with Brucella melitensis infection in humans
(American Chemical Society, 2011)
A complete understanding of the factors that determine selection of antigens recognized by the humoral immune response following infectious agent challenge is lacking. Here we illustrate a systems biology approach to ...
Detection of secretory immunoglobulin a in human colostrum as mucosal immune response against proteins of the type III secretion system of Salmonella, Shigella and enteropathogenic Escherichia Coli
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2013)
Some enteropathogens use the type III secretion system to secrete proteins that allows them to interact with enterocytes and promote bacterial attachment or intracellular survival. These proteins are Salmonella invasion ...
Development and analysis of furazolidone-resistant Escherichia coli mutants
(Wiley, 2015)
Furazolidone-resistant mutants were obtained from four clinical isolates of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli. The stability of the resistance and the frequency of mutation were established. The minimal inhibitory concentration ...
Structural basis of molecular recognition of the Leishmania Small Hydrophilic Endoplasmic Reticulum-associated Protein (SHERP) at membrane surfaces
(Elsevier, 2011)
The 57-residue small hydrophilic endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein (SHERP) shows highly specific, stageregulated expression in the non-replicative vector-transmitted stages of the kinetoplastid parasite, Leishmania ...
Phylogenetic relationships of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli isolated from Peruvian children
(Microbiology Society, 2011)
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, virulence factors (stx, eae, ehxA and astA) and phylogenetic relationships [PFGE and multilocus sequence typing (MLST)] of Shiga toxinproducing Escherichia coli (STEC) ...
Pathogenomic Inference of Virulence-Associated Genes in Leptospira interrogans
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Leptospirosis is a globally important, neglected zoonotic infection caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Since genetic transformation remains technically limited for pathogenic Leptospira, a systems biology ...
Identification of proteins associated with the formation of oral biofilms
(Association of Support to Oral Health Research, 2021)
Objective: To identify proteins associated with the formation of Streptococcus gordonii and Fusobacterium nucleatum biofilms. Material and Methods: Biofilms composed of two bacterial species, S. gordonii and F. nucleatum, ...
Small qnrB-harbouring ColE-like plasmids widespread in commensal enterobacteria from a remote Amazonas population not exposed to antibiotics
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
Sir, After a decade since discovery, a variety of qnr-type plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes have been reported worldwide, especially in clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae.1 Recently, we found that qnr genes ...
