Respiratory tract bacteria distribution and transmission patterns among individuals in close contact [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Respiratory disease outbreaks frequently occur in settings where individuals are in close contact, for example, schools and factories. However, the transmission patterns of oropharyngeal microbiota among healthy individuals living in clusters ...

Analysis of Lipooligosaccharide Biosynthesis in the Neisseriaceae [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2001
ABSTRACT Neisserial lipooligosaccharide (LOS) contains three oligosaccharide chains, termed the α, β, and γ chains. We used Southern hybridization experiments on DNA isolated from various Neisseria spp. to determine if strains considered to be nonpathogenic possessed DNA sequences homologous with genes ...

Structural analysis of haemoglobin binding by HpuA from the Neisseriaceae family [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2015
AbstractThe Neisseriaceae family of bacteria causes a range of diseases including meningitis, septicaemia, gonorrhoea and endocarditis, and extracts haem from haemoglobin as an important iron source within the iron-limited environment of its human host.

Phylogenomic analysis of the understudied Neisseriaceae species reveals a poly- and paraphyletic Kingella genus [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
AbstractTaxonomic classification and phylogenetic analysis of theNeisseriaceaefamily has focused on the pathogensNeisseria meningitidisandNeisseria gonorrhoeae. Less is known about the relationships of commensalNeisseriaspecies and otherNeisseriaceaegenera, raising the possibility that the phylogeny of this family may not agree with taxonomy.

Season, Body Condition and Developmental Stage Influence the Gut Microbiota of the Sole Living Rhynchocephalian Reptile (<i>Sphenodon punctatus</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Seasonality plays a crucial role for many species, especially reptiles. We tested whether the tuatara, an endemic New Zealand reptile and the sole extant member of the order Rhynchocephalia, maintains a stable gut microbiota over 2 years of sampling across three seasons (summer, autumn and spring) or if the dominant bacterial community varies with ...

Diagnostic value of interactions between members of the family Neisseriaceae and lectins [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1984
The lectin slide agglutination test for Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been modified and improved. Results show that wheat germ agglutinin and soybean lectin agglutinate 100% (193 of 193 tested) of clinical isolates of N. gonorrhoeae. Lectin-reactive meningococci can be readily identified by the hydrolysis of gamma-glutamyl-beta-naphthylamide.

Commensal and multidrug-resistant Neisseria spp. sepsis in feline

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2022
Introduction: Sepsis is a serious problem in felines with a mortality rate ranging from 29-79%. Neisseria spp. is considered a commensal microorganism of the oral cavity of dogs and cats and is usually isolated from human wounds resulting from bites of ...

Biased enrichment of DNA uptake enhancing sequences in Pasteurellaceae and Neisseriaceae

Abstract Some naturally transformable bacteria can selectively take up homologous DNA through short conserved motifs termed DNA Uptake Enhancing Sequences (DUES), comprising DNA Uptake Sequences (DUS) in Neisseriaceae and Uptake Signal Sequences (USS) in ...

Changes in the Nasal Microbiota of Pigs Following Single or Co-Infection with Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome and Swine Influenza A Viruses

Pathogens, 2021
Host-microbiota interactions are important in shaping immune responses that have the potential to influence the outcome of pathogen infection. However, most studies have focused on the gut microbiota and its possible association with disease outcome ...
