Virulence Plasmids of the Pathogenic Clostridia

Microbiology Spectrum, 2019
ABSTRACT The clostridia cause a spectrum of diseases in humans and animals ranging from life-threatening tetanus and botulism, uterine infections, histotoxic infections and enteric diseases, including antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and food poisoning.

Virulence-associated plasmids in Rhodococcus equi [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1993
Twenty-three strains of Rhodococcus equi from independent clinical cases were analyzed for the presence of virulence plasmid DNA. Of the clinical isolates, 19 contained an 85-kb plasmid and the remaining 4 contained a 90-kb plasmid. All of the isolates expressed 15- to 17-kDa antigens and were virulent in mice.

Structural characterisation of the virulence-associated protein VapG from the horse pathogen Rhodococcus equi [PDF]

, 2015
Virulence and host range in Rhodococcus equi depends on the variable pathogenicity island of their virulence plasmids. Notable gene products are a family of small secreted virulence-associated proteins (Vaps) that are critical to intramacrophagic ...

Yersinia virulence: more than a plasmid [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2001
The genus Yersinia is composed of 11 species, three of which are pathogenic in humans. The three pathogens, Y. pestis, Y. enterocolitica, and Y. pseudotuberculosis, cause a broad spectrum of disease ranging from pneumonic plague to acute gastroenteritis.

A rare carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent K1/ST1265 Klebsiella pneumoniae with an untypeable blaKPC-harboured conjugative plasmid

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2020
Objective: We investigated the pathogenesis of a patient with severe acute pancreatitis by comprehensively analysing a rare carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent K1/ST1265 Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-HvKP) strain. Methods: We conducted virulence and multidrug-

Plasmid-associated virulence of Salmonella typhimurium [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1987
We investigated the role of the 100-kilobase (kb) plasmid of Salmonella typhimurium in the virulence of this organism for mice. Three strains, LT2-Z, SR-11, and SL1344, which possessed 100-kb plasmids with identical restriction enzyme digestion profiles, were cured of their respective 100-kb plasmids after Tnmini-tet was used to label plasmids.

Selection of virulence-associated determinants of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 by in vivo complementation [PDF]

, 2001
Within Streptococcus suis serotype 2, pathogenic, weakly pathogenic, and nonpathogenic strains can be found. We introduced a genomic library of a pathogenic strain into a weakly pathogenic strain.

Major Families of Multiresistant Plasmids from Geographically and Epidemiologically Diverse Staphylococci [PDF]

, 2011
Staphylococci are increasingly aggressive human pathogens suggesting that active evolution is spreading novel virulence and resistance phenotypes. Large staphylococcal plasmids commonly carry antibiotic resistances and virulence loci, but relatively few ...

Extending the aerolysin family: from bacteria to vertebrates. [PDF]

, 2011
A number of bacterial virulence factors have been observed to adopt structures similar to that of aerolysin, the principal toxin of Aeromonas species. However, a comprehensive description of architecture and structure of the aerolysin-like superfamily ...

Plasmid required for virulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1975
The irreversible loss of crown gall-inducing ability of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C-58 during growth at 37 C is shown to be due to loss of a large plasmid (1.2 X 10-8 daltons). The gene responsible for this high rate of plasmid loss at elevated temperatures seems to be located on the plasmid. In addition, another spontaneous avirulent variant, A.
