The Association of Virulence Factors with Genomic Islands
PLoS ONE, 2009 It has been noted that many bacterial virulence factor genes are located within genomic islands (GIs; clusters of genes in a prokaryotic genome of probable horizontal origin). However, such studies have been limited to single genera or isolated observations.

Does high sugar intake really alter the oral microbiota?: A systematic review
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1376-1390, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Diet is one of the main factors influencing the diversity and interactions of the oral microbiota. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of sugar intake on the microbial diversity and bacteria that predominate under these conditions.

The biomechanical and structural properties of CS2 fimbriae [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) are a major cause of diarrhea worldwide, and infection of children in underdeveloped countries often leads to high mortality rates. Isolated ETEC express a plethora of colonization factors (fimbriae/pili), of which CFA/I and CFA/II that are assembled via the alternate chaperone pathway (ACP), are amongst the most

Antibacterial effects of natural compounds on biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1426-1433, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Streptococcus mutans is the main cariogenic pathogen in the oral cavity, considered to contribute toward oral diseases. S. mutans is predominantly entrapped in plaque biofilms. Objectives In this study, we surveyed the antibacterial activity of natural compounds in terms of the biofilm production of S. mutans. Material and Methods We extracted

Genetic transfer in Staphylococcus: a case study of 13 genomes [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 The widespread presence of antibiotic resistance and virulence among Staphylococcus isolates has been attributed to lateral genetic transfer (LGT) between different strains or species. However, there has been very little study of the extent of LGT in Staphylococcus species using a phylogenetic approach, particularly of the units of such genetic ...

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 This study describes the clinical and laboratory profile and outcomes of hospitalized COVID‐19 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in Ghana. Out of 175 patients (mean age 55.9+/−18.3 years) 64 (36.6%) had DM. Compared to non‐diabetics, DM patients were older (61.1? 12.8 vs. 53.0?
