Evaluation of a Proteus rettgeri O-serotyping system for epidemiological investigation [PDF]
An evaluation of the serotyping system for Proteus rettgeri has been performed through its application to 561 human isolates of this species. Of these, 545 were typable and could be separated into 58 O serotypes. A group of isolates from one hospital, and clinically implicated in cross-infections, was found to belong the same O serotype, confirming the

The impact of specific and non-specific immunity on the ecology of Streptococcus pneumoniae and the implications for vaccination. [PDF]
More than 90 capsular serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae coexist despite competing for nasopharyngeal carriage and a gradient in fitness. The underlying mechanisms for this are poorly understood and make assessment of the likely population impact of ...

Adeno‐associated virus serotype 2 capsid variants for improved liver‐directed gene therapy
Abstract Background and Aims Current liver‐directed gene therapies look for adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors with improved efficacy. With this background, capsid engineering is explored. Whereas shuffled capsid library screenings have resulted in potent liver targeting variants with one first vector in human clinical trials, modifying natural ...

O‐Linked GlcNAc in serotype‐2 adenovirus fibre [PDF]
Serotype‐2 adenovirus fibre is shown to possess an O‐linked GlcNAc residue and to have affinity for wheat germ agglutinin. The cytoplasmic and nuclear fibres are both glycosylated. Glycosylation seems to take place in the cytoplasm since most of the [14C]GlcN‐labelled fibre is found in this compartment, little label being associated with the microsomes.

Spatial pattern of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotypes in North Central Nigeria [PDF]
Aim: This study aimed to determine the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) serotypes circulating, the prevalence of FMDV serotypes, and the spatial distribution of FMDV among sedentary and pastoral cattle herds in the North-Central Nigeria.

Background Shigellosis is an acute gastrointestinal disease caused primarily by the bacterium Shigella flexneri. Upon ingestion, S. flexneri initiates a serotype-specific immune response that targets the O-antigen of the pathogen’s lipopolysaccharide.
