Sequence-Based Prediction of Type III Secreted Proteins

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
The type III secretion system (TTSS) is a key mechanism for host cell interaction used by a variety of bacterial pathogens and symbionts of plants and animals including humans. The TTSS represents a molecular syringe with which the bacteria deliver effector proteins directly into the host cell cytosol.

Molecular Epidemiologic Typing Systems of Bacterial Pathogens: Current Issues and Perpectives

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998
The epidemiologic typing of bacterial pathogens can be applied to answer a number of different questions: in case of outbreak, what is the extent and mode of transmission of epidemic clone(s )?

High-resolution melting system to perform multilocus sequence typing of Campylobacter jejuni. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) has emerged as the state-of-the-art method for resolving bacterial population genetics but it is expensive and time consuming.

Whole genome sequencing for genomics-guided investigations of Escherichia coli O157:H7 outbreaks [PDF]

, 2016
Multi isolate whole genome sequencing (WGS) and typing for outbreak investigations has become a reality in the post-genomics era. We applied this technology to strains from Escherichia coli O157:H7 outbreaks.

High-throughput sequencing of core STR loci for forensic genetic investigations using the Roche Genome Sequencer FLX platform

BioTechniques, 2011
The analysis and profiling of short tandem repeat (STR) loci is routinely used in forensic genetics. Current methods to investigate STR loci, including PCR-based standard fragment analyses and capillary electrophoresis, only provide amplicon lengths that

Advances and challenges in barcoding pathogenic and environmental Leptospira [PDF]

, 2017
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease of global importance. A large spectrum of asymptomatic animal hosts can carry the infection and contribute to the burden of human disease.

Human streptococcus agalactiae strains in aquatic mammals and fish [PDF]

, 2013
<p>Background: In humans, Streptococcus agalactiae or group B streptococcus (GBS) is a frequent coloniser of the rectovaginal tract, a major cause of neonatal infectious disease and an emerging cause of disease in non-pregnant adults.

Lack of continuity between Cronobacter biotypes and species as determined using multilocus sequence typing [PDF]

, 2013
The accuracy of the Cronobacter biotyping scheme was compared with the 7-loci multilocus sequence typing scheme. Biotyping did not reliably assign species level identification, as only half (17/31) of the biotype variants were unique to any of the seven ...

refMLST: reference-based multilocus sequence typing enables universal bacterial typing

BMC Bioinformatics
Background Commonly used approaches for genomic investigation of bacterial outbreaks, including SNP and gene-by-gene approaches, are limited by the requirement for background genomes and curated allele schemes, respectively.
