Enterococcus faecalis Clones in Poultry and in Humans with Urinary Tract Infections, Vietnam
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Enterococcus spp. as pathogens have increased, but the sources of infection often remain unclear. To investigate whether poultry might be a reservoir for E. faecalis–associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in humans, we characterized E.

Chromosome sizes and phylogenetic relationships between serotypes of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae [PDF]
, 2017 The genome size of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae was determined by pulsed field gel electrophoresis of AscI and ApaI digested chromosomal DNA. The genome size of the type strain 4074T (serotype 1) was determined to be 2404±40 kb.
