Efficient Detection of Pathogenic Leptospires Using 16S Ribosomal RNA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Pathogenic Leptospira species cause a prevalent yet neglected zoonotic disease with mild to life-threatening complications in a variety of susceptible animals and humans. Diagnosis of leptospirosis, which primarily relies on antiquated serotyping methods,

Optimizing PCR primers targeting the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2018 Background Targeted amplicon sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene is one of the key tools for studying microbial diversity. The accuracy of this approach strongly depends on the choice of primer pairs and, in particular, on the balance between ...

Next-generation Sequencing of 16S Ribosomal RNA Gene Amplicons [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2014 One of the major questions in microbial ecology is “who is there?” This question can be answered using various tools, but one of the long-lasting gold standards is to sequence 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene amplicons generated by domain-level PCR ...

Updating the 97% identity threshold for 16S ribosomal RNA OTUs [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2017 AbstractThe 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene is widely used to survey microbial communities. Sequences are often clustered into Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) as proxies for species. The canonical clustering threshold is 97% identity, which was proposed in 1994 when few 16S rRNA sequences were available, motivating a reassessment on current data ...

16S ribosomal RNA methylation: emerging resistance mechanism against aminoglycosides. [PDF]
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2007 Methylation of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) has recently emerged as a new mechanism of resistance against aminoglycosides among gram-negative pathogens belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae and glucose-nonfermentative microbes, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter species.
