The Bordetella effector protein BteA induces host cell death by disruption of calcium homeostasis

mBio
Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of whooping cough in humans, a disease that has recently experienced a resurgence. In contrast, Bordetella bronchiseptica infects the respiratory tract of various mammalian species, causing a range of symptoms ...

Effects of Noise on Ecological Invasion Processes: Bacteriophage-mediated Competition in Bacteria

, 2006
Pathogen-mediated competition, through which an invasive species carrying and transmitting a pathogen can be a superior competitor to a more vulnerable resident species, is one of the principle driving forces influencing biodiversity in nature.

A probabilistic model for gene content evolution with duplication, loss, and horizontal transfer

, 2005
We introduce a Markov model for the evolution of a gene family along a phylogeny. The model includes parameters for the rates of horizontal gene transfer, gene duplication, and gene loss, in addition to branch lengths in the phylogeny. The likelihood for

Serologic Response and Antibody-Titer Decay in Adults with Pertussis [PDF]

, 2017
Pertussis is a frequent and significant illness in adults. Because acellular pertussis vaccines for use in adolescents and adults have now been developed, it is important to compare serologic responses in adults after infection with serologic responses ...
