Microarray analysis of defined Mycobacterium tuberculosis populations using RNA amplification strategies [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background The amplification of bacterial RNA is required if complex host-pathogen interactions are to be studied where the recovery of bacterial RNA is limited.

Quantitative RNA pseudouridine landscape reveals dynamic modification patterns and evolutionary conservation across bacterial species [PDF]

eLife
Pseudouridine (Ψ) modifications are the most abundant RNA modifications; however, their distribution and functional significance in bacteria remain largely unexplored compared to eukaryotic systems.

Oxford nanopore technologies—a valuable tool to generate whole-genome sequencing data for in silico serotyping and the detection of genetic markers in Salmonella

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
Bacteria of the genus Salmonella pose a major risk to livestock, the food economy, and public health. Salmonella infections are one of the leading causes of food poisoning.

Genomic analysis of 61 Chlamydia psittaci strains reveals extensive divergence associated with host preference

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Chlamydia (C.) psittaci, the causative agent of avian chlamydiosis and human psittacosis, is a genetically heterogeneous species. Its broad host range includes parrots and many other birds, but occasionally also humans (via zoonotic ...

Comparative Genome Analysis of 33 Chlamydia Strains Reveals Characteristic Features of Chlamydia Psittaci and Closely Related Species

Pathogens, 2020
To identify genome-based features characteristic of the avian and human pathogen Chlamydia (C.) psittaci and related chlamydiae, we analyzed whole-genome sequences of 33 strains belonging to 12 species. Using a novel genome analysis tool termed Roary ILP

Regional seropositivity for Borrelia burgdorferi and associated risk factors: findings from the Rhineland Study, Germany

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Lyme borreliosis is the most prevalent vector-borne disease in Europe, and numbers might increase due to climate change. However, borreliosis is not notifiable in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Germany.

Seroepidemiology of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. among German National Cohort (NAKO) Participants, Hanover

Microorganisms, 2022
Lyme borreliosis is the leading tick-related illness in Europe, caused by Borrelia Burgdorferi s.l. Lower Saxony, Germany, including its capital, Hanover, has a higher proportion of infected ticks than central European countries, justifying a research ...

An improved method for surface immobilisation of RNA: application to small Non-Coding RNA - mRNA pairing [PDF]

, 2013
Characterisation of RNA and its intermolecular interactions is increasing in importance as the inventory of known RNA functions continues to expand. RNA-RNA interactions are central to post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms in bacteria, and the ...

Novel endoribonucleases as central players in various pathways of eukaryotic RNA metabolism [PDF]

, 2010
For a long time it has been assumed that the decay of RNA in eukaryotes is mainly carried out by exoribonucleases, which is in contrast to bacteria, where endoribonucleases are well documented to initiate RNA degradation.

Novel molecular markers for the detection of methanogens and phylogenetic analyses of methanogenic communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Methanogenic Archaea produce approximately one billion tons of methane annually, but their biology remains largely unknown. This is partially due to the large phylogenetic and phenotypic diversity of this group of organisms, which inhabit various anoxic ...
