Genetic islands of Streptococcus agalactiae strains NEM316 and 2603VR and their presence in other Group B Streptococcal strains [PDF]

, 2005
BACKGROUND: Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus; GBS) is a major contributor to obstetric and neonatal bacterial sepsis. Serotype III strains cause the majority of late-onset sepsis and meningitis in babies, and thus appear to have an ...

Abdominal aorta infection by Streptococcus pyogenes [PDF]

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2013
A 63-year old patient with acute abdominal pain, nausea and temperature (38.8°C) was admitted to emergency; 4/4 haemocultures were positive for Streptococcus pyogenes. Computed tomography scan revealed a suspicion of an abdominal aorta infection with infiltration of surrounding tissue (Fig. 1).

Interplay between competitive and cooperative interactions in a three-player pathogen system [PDF]

, 2019
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 ...

Group A Streptococcal S Protein Utilizes Red Blood Cells as Immune Camouflage and Is a Critical Determinant for Immune Evasion. [PDF]

, 2019
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a human-specific pathogen that evades the host immune response through the elaboration of multiple virulence factors. Although many of these factors have been studied, numerous proteins encoded by the GAS genome are of ...

Conjugative transfer of ICESde3396 between three β-hemolytic streptococcal species [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) are mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that possess all genes necessary for excision, transfer and integration into recipient genome. They also carry accessory genes that impart new phenotypic features to

Novel molecular mechanisms of immune evasion in hepatocellular carcinoma: NSUN2‐mediated increase of SOAT2 RNA methylation

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a deadly malignancy known for its ability to evade immune surveillance. NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase family member 2 (NSUN2), an RNA methyltransferase involved in carcinogenesis, has been associated with immune evasion and energy metabolism reprogramming.

Investigation of the Cyprus donkey milk bacterial diversity by 16SrDNA high-throughput sequencing in a Cyprus donkey farm [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The interest in milk originating from donkeys is growing worldwide due to its claimed functional and nutritional properties, especially for sensitive population groups, such as infants with cow milk protein allergy. The current study aimed to assess the microbiological quality of donkey milk produced in a donkey farm in Cyprus using cultured-based and ...

Streptococcus pyogenes Transcriptome Changes in the Inflammatory Environment of Necrotizing Fasciitis

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2019
Necrotizing fasciitis, a life-threatening subcutaneous soft-tissue infection, is principally caused by S. pyogenes. The inflammatory environment at the site of infection causes global gene expression changes for survival of the bacterium and pathogenesis.

Disruption of salt bridge interactions in the inter‐domain cleft of the tubulin‐like protein FtsZ of Escherichia coli makes cells sensitive to the cell division inhibitor PC190723

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
Abstract FtsZ forms a ring‐like assembly at the site of division in bacteria. It is the first protein involved in the formation of the divisome complex to split the cell into two halves, indicating its importance in bacterial cell division. FtsZ is an attractive target for developing new anti‐microbial drugs to overcome the challenges of antibiotic ...
