Draft genome sequence of the Streptococcus pneumoniae Avery strain A66 [PDF]
We have used HiSeq 2000 technology to generate a draft genome sequence of Streptococcus pneumoniae strain A66. This is a common study strain used in investigations of pneumococcal bacterium-host interactions and was used in the seminal genetic studies of

Fighting Antibiotic Resistance: Insights Into Human Barriers and New Opportunities
Antibiotic resistance is a public health issue leading to the emergence of multi‐resistant bacteria. Human‐dependent factors are now driving the increase of resistance, notably through antibiotic misuse in human and animal health and environmental pollution.

Systemic lupus erythematosus and cardiovascular disease
Abstract The prognosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has improved due to better treatment and care, but cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains an important clinical problem, since the risk of CVD in SLE is much higher than among controls.

DCA for genome-wide epistasis analysis: the statistical genetics perspective [PDF]
Direct Coupling Analysis (DCA) is a now widely used method to leverage statistical information from many similar biological systems to draw meaningful conclusions on each system separately. DCA has been applied with great success to sequences of homologous proteins, and also more recently to whole-genome population-wide sequencing data.

Citrus Flavonoids as Antimicrobials
Citrus flavonoids are powerful and versatile antimicrobials whose mechanism of action often involves disruption of the bacterial membrane, thereby minimizing antimicrobial resistance. This study provides a unified perspective. ABSTRACT Citrus flavonoids are highly bioactive compounds exerting numerous health benefits including anticancer, antioxidant ...

Sepsis and survival in critically ill calves: Risk factors and antimicrobial use
Abstract Background Sepsis is a life‐threatening disease for which critically important antimicrobials (CIA) frequently are used. Diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines for sepsis and critically ill calves are largely lacking. Objectives Identify factors associated with mortality in critically ill calves and describe bacteria obtained from blood ...

Interplay between competitive and cooperative interactions in a three-player pathogen system [PDF]
In ecological systems heterogeneous interactions between pathogens take place simultaneously. This occurs, for instance, when two pathogens cooperate, while at the same time multiple strains of these pathogens co-circulate and compete. Notable examples include the cooperation of HIV with antibiotic-resistant and susceptible strains of tuberculosis, or ...
