Revisiting the STEC Testing Approach: Using espK and espV to Make Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) Detection More Reliable in Beef [PDF]

, 2016
Current methods for screening Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 and non-O157 in beef enrichments typically rely on the molecular detection of stx, eae, and serogroup-specific wzx or wzy gene fragments.

Metabolic characteristics and genomic epidemiology of Escherichia coli serogroup O145 : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2018
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are a global public health concern, and can cause severe human disease. Ruminants are asymptomatic reservoirs of STEC, shedding this pathogen via their faeces.

A space-time conditional intensity model for infectious disease occurence [PDF]

, 2010
A novel point process model continuous in space-time is proposed for infectious disease data. Modelling is based on the conditional intensity function (CIF) and extends an additive-multiplicative CIF model previously proposed for discrete space epidemic ...

Risk factors for human acute leptospirosis in northern Tanzania [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: Leptospirosis is a major cause of febrile illness in Africa but little is known about risk factors for human infection. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate risk factors for acute leptospirosis and Leptospira ...

Presence of Legionellaceae in warm water supplies and typing of strains by polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

, 2001
Outbreaks of Legionnaire's disease present a public health challenge especially because fatal outcomes still remain frequent. The aim of this study was to describe the abundance and epidemiology of Legionellaceae in the human-made environment.

A universal vaccine for serogroup B meningococcus [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
Meningitis and sepsis caused by serogroup B meningococcus are two severe diseases that still cause significant mortality. To date there is no universal vaccine that prevents these diseases. In this work, five antigens discovered by reverse vaccinology were expressed in a form suitable for large-scale manufacturing and formulated with adjuvants suitable

Phylogenetic analysis reveals an ancient gene duplication as the origin of the MdtABC efflux pump. [PDF]

, 2020
The efflux pumps from the Resistance-Nodulation-Division family, RND, are main contributors to intrinsic antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. Among this family, the MdtABC pump is unusual by having two inner membrane components.

Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A vaccines: an overview

Expert Review of Vaccines, 2003
A recent report by the Weekly Epidemiological Record of an outbreak of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A in the Great Lakes region shows that meningococcal epidemics are an unsolved problem in resource-poor countries, particularly in Africa [1]. During the last epidemic wave in the 1990s, about 350,000 people developed meningitis and 1000 people died [
