Genetic markers for Clostridium difficile lineages linked to hypervirulence [PDF]
Microbiology, 2011 Rapid identification of hypervirulent Clostridium difficile strains is essential for preventing their spread. Recent completion of several full-length C. difficile genomes provided an excellent opportunity to identify potentially unique genes that characterize hypervirulent strains. Based on sequence comparisons between C. difficile strains we describe

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...

Genetic and phenotypic characterization of Listeria monocytogenes lineage III [PDF]
Microbiology, 2006 Listeria monocytogeneshas been previously grouped into three evolutionary groups, termed lineages I, II and III. While lineages I and II are commonly isolated from various sources, lineage III isolates are rare and have several atypical and unique phenotypic characteristics.
