A Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Genomic Regions for Virulence in the Non-Model Organism Heterobasidion annosum ss [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The dense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) panels needed for genome wide association (GWA) studies have hitherto been expensive to establish and use on non-model organisms.

Killing them softly:managing pathogen polymorphism and virulence in spatially variable environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Understanding why pathogen populations are genetically variable is vital because genetic variation fuels evolution, which often hampers disease control efforts.

Epidemiological and genomic analysis of Acinetobacter baumannii strains from retailed raw meat

open access: yesHeliyon
Acinetobacter baumannii causes hospital-acquired infections in human patients with compromised immune system. Strains associated to nosocomial infections are often resistant to carbapenems and belong to few international clones (IC1-11). A.

Temporal dynamics of the fecal microbiota in veal calves in a 6-month field trial

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2020
Background Little is known about maturation of calves’ gut microbiome in veal farms, in which animals are confined under intensive-farming conditions and the administration of collective antibiotic treatment in feed is common.

Evolutionary trade-offs underlie the multi-faceted virulence of Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Date of Acceptance: 20/07/2015Bacterial virulence is a multifaceted trait where the interactions between pathogen and host factors affect the severity and outcome of the infection. Toxin secretion is central to the biology of many bacterial pathogens and

Comprehensive genomic analysis of antibiotic resistance plasmids in animal-associated Staphylococcus aureus in France

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
In Staphylococcus aureus, an animal pathogen and zoonotic agent, plasmids play a pivotal role in the acquisition and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). This study investigated the plasmid content of 329 S.

Pathogenic Escherichia coli in Dogs Reveals the Predominance of ST372 and the Human-Associated ST73 Extra-Intestinal Lineages

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Escherichia coli is a ubiquitous commensal and pathogen that has also been recognized as a multi-sectoral indicator of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Impact of Antibiotic Therapies on Resistance Genes Dynamic and Composition of the Animal Gut Microbiota

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Antibiotics are major disruptors of the gastrointestinal microbiota, depleting bacterial species beneficial for the host health and favoring the emergence of potential pathogens. Furthermore, the intestine is a reactor of antibiotic resistance emergence,

Evolution of malaria virulence in cross-generation transmission through selective immune pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Theoretical arguments and some mathematical models of host-parasite coevolution (e.g. [1- 6]) suggest host immunity as the driving source for the evolution of parasite virulence.

Clonal, Plasmidic and Genetic Diversity of Multi-Drug-Resistant Enterobacterales from Hospitalized Patients in Tripoli, Libya

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2023
Resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ESC) and carbapenems in Enterobacterales is a major issue in public health. Carbapenem resistance in particular is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
