Atypical Listeria monocytogenes Serotype 4b Strains Harboring a Lineage II-Specific Gene Cassette [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACT Listeria monocytogenes is the etiological agent of listeriosis, a severe food-borne illness. The population of L. monocytogenes is divided into four lineages (I to IV), and serotype 4b in lineage I has been involved in numerous outbreaks.

Isolation site influences virulence phenotype of serotype 14 Streptococcus pneumoniae strains belonging to multilocus sequence type 15 [PDF]

, 2015
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a diverse species causing invasive as well as localized infections that result in massive global morbidity and mortality. Strains vary markedly in pathogenic potential, but the molecular basis is obscured by the diversity and ...

VPsero: Rapid Serotyping of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Using Serogroup-Specific Genes Based on Whole-Genome Sequencing Data [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Vibrio parahaemolyticus has emerged as a significant enteropathogen in human and marine habitats worldwide, notably in regions where aquaculture products constitute a major nutritional source. It is a growing cause of diseases including gastroenteritis, wound infections, and septicemia.

Molecular typing of Streptococcus suis strains isolated from diseased and healthy pigs between 1996-2016.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Streptococcus suis is an economically important pathogen of pigs as well as a zoonotic cause of human disease. Serotyping is used for further characterization of isolates; some serotypes seem to be more virulent and more widely spread than others.

Serotype Chimeric Human Adenoviruses for Cancer GeneTherapy

Viruses, 2010
Cancer gene therapy consists of numerous approaches where the common denominator is utilization of vectors for achieving therapeutic effect. A particularly potent embodiment of the approach is virotherapy, in which the replication potential of an ...

Development of ListeriaBase and comparative analysis of Listeria monocytogenes [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Listeria consists of both pathogenic and non-pathogenic species. Reports of similarities between the genomic content between some pathogenic and non-pathogenic species necessitates the investigation of these species at the genomic level to ...

Nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding the serotype-specific glycoprotein of UK bovine rotavirus

Nucleic Acids Research, 1983
The nucleotide sequence of the gene which encodes the major outer-shell glycoprotein of UK bovine rotavirus has been determined. The dsRNA genome segment encoding this protein was converted into ds cDNA and cloned into pBR322 for sequence studies. The gene is 1062 base pairs in length and contains a single, long, open reading-frame capable of coding ...

The Widespread Multidrug-Resistant Serotype O12 Pseudomonas aeruginosa Clone Emerged through Concomitant Horizontal Transfer of Serotype Antigen and Antibiotic Resistance Gene Clusters

mBio, 2015
The O-specific antigen (OSA) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide is highly varied by sugar identity, side chains, and bond between O-repeats. These differences classified P. aeruginosa into 20 distinct serotypes. In the past few decades, O12 has

Capsular profiling of the Cronobacter genus and the association of specific Cronobacter sakazakii and C. malonaticus capsule types with neonatal meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Cronobacter sakazakii and C. malonaticus can cause serious diseases especially in infants where they are associated with rare but fatal neonatal infections such as meningitis and necrotising enterocolitis.

Modeling the architecture of depolymerase-containing receptor binding proteins in Klebsiella phages [PDF]

, 2019
Klebsiella pneumoniae carries a thick polysaccharide capsule. This highly variable chemical structure plays an important role in its virulence. Many Klebsiella bacteriophages recognize this capsule with a receptor binding protein (RBP) that contains a ...
