Hypopituitarism as consequence of late neonatal infection by Group B streptococcus: a case report

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2015
Hypopituitarism is a condition characterized by dysfunction of the pituitary gland hormone production. The insult of the perinatal period, which includes the late infection by Group B Streptococcus, consists in a rare etiology of this condition.

Genomic evidence for the evolution of Streptococcus equi : host restriction, increased virulence, and genetic exchange with human pathogens

, 2009
The continued evolution of bacterial pathogens has major implications for both human and animal disease, but the exchange of genetic material between host-restricted pathogens is rarely considered. Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S.

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.
