Streptococcus suis contains multiple phase-variable methyltransferases that show a discrete lineage distribution. [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Res, 2018 Streptococcus suis is a major pathogen of swine, responsible for a number of chronic and acute infections, and is also emerging as a major zoonotic pathogen, particularly in South-East Asia. Our study of a diverse population of S.

Selective and non‐selective bottlenecks as drivers of the evolution of hypermutable bacterial loci
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 672-681, March 2020., 2020 Bottlenecks produce dramatic reductions in the genetic diversity of bacterial populations. Bottleneck events can be selective or non‐selective and occur frequently, particularly during transmission between hosts. Multiple mutational strategies have evolved in bacteria that can regenerate genetic diversity within surviving populations following a major ...

mBio, 2018 Biofilms play a critical role in the colonization, persistence, and pathogenesis of many human pathogens. Multiple mucosa-associated pathogens have evolved a mechanism of rapid adaptation, termed the phasevarion, which facilitates a coordinated ...

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2017., 2017 The comparative analysis of the genome sequences of five Y. ruckeri strains (150, CSF007‐82, ATCC29473, Big Creek 74, and SC09) isolated from different hosts and classified into different serotypes revealed important genetic differences between the genomes analyzed. These could provide insights into the understanding of the virulence and niche adaptive

Themes and Variations: Regulation of RpoN‐Dependent Flagellar Genes across Diverse Bacterial Species
Scientifica, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Flagellar biogenesis in bacteria is a complex process in which the transcription of dozens of structural and regulatory genes is coordinated with the assembly of the flagellum. Although the overall process of flagellar biogenesis is conserved among bacteria, the mechanisms used to regulate flagellar gene expression vary greatly among different ...

Moraxella catarrhalis Restriction-Modification Systems Are Associated with Phylogenetic Lineage and Disease. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2018 Moraxella catarrhalis is a human-adapted pathogen, and a major cause of otitis media (OM) and exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The species is comprised of two main phylogenetic lineages, RB1 and RB2/3. Restriction-modification (R-M)
