Sequence of Pilin from Bacteroides nodosus 351 (Serogroup H) and Implications for Serogroup Classification [PDF]
The nucleotide sequence of the pilin gene from Bacteroides nodosus strain 351, currently classified as serogroup H, subgroup 2 (H2) has been determined. The gene encodes a single polypeptide (prepilin) of 160 amino acids and Mr 17,150. However, pilin isolated from B.

Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Well‐Defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐Linked Oligosialosides
Well‐defined α(2,8)‐ and α(2,9)‐linked oligosialic acids of different lengths can be prepared by employing recombinant bacterial polysialyltransferases in combination with chemically modified CMP‐Neu5Ac derivatives. After transfer, a sialoside is formed bearing an artificial entity, which blocks further glycosylation.

Evaluation of commercial antisera for Shigella serogrouping [PDF]
Shigella serogrouping antisera from six companies (Becton Dickinson, Denka, Difco, Murex, Roach, and Sanofi-Pasteur) intended for the slide agglutination test and those of the Wellcolex Colour Shigella latex agglutination test were evaluated to identify quality products for Shigella identification.

Proteins of Palyam serogroup viruses
The replication and polypeptide synthesis of Abadina virus, a member of the Palyam serogroup of orbiviruses, was studied. The first virus-specified proteins could be demonstrated 2 to 4 h post-infection (p.i.) by immunoprecipitation. The rate of synthesis increased rapidly until 12 h p.i. after which it remained fairly constant until 18 h p.i.

DNA methylation assessed by SMRT sequencing is linked to mutations in Neisseria meningitidis isolates [PDF]
The Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis features extensive genetic variability. To present, proposed virulence genotypes are also detected in isolates from asymptomatic carriers, indicating more complex mechanisms underlying variable ...

Trends in ExPEC serogroups in the UK and their significance [PDF]
Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli are a significant cause of urinary tract infection and bacteraemia within the UK. We sought to identify the serogroups of 658 E. coli isolates collected in the UK between January 2011 and March 2012, to better understand the ExPEC population and understand the relevance of serogroups in this pathotype ...
