Potential applications of Agrobacterium virulence gene promoters in plant-protecting microbial inoculants [PDF]

, 1994
The concept behind this project was to continue the development of strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens that were capable of producing pesticidal proteins in response to plant wounding, thereby killing the invading organism.

Clinical evolution of ST11 carbapenem resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Communications Biology, 2021
Carbapenem-resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains are emerging. Here Xie et al. show that these phenotypes are carried on a plasmid formed from the fusion of a virulence plasmid with a conjugative plasmid.

Presence of a virulence-associated plasmid in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1980
We have shown that Yersinia pseudotuberculosis can possess plasmids which are similar in size and function to the previously described Vwa plasmids of Y. enterocolitica. These plasmids are associated with the production of V and W antigens (calcium dependency) and pathogenicity of the organism.

Genome characterization and population genetic structure of the zoonotic pathogen, streptococcus canis [PDF]

, 2012
Background - Streptococcus canis is an important opportunistic pathogen of dogs and cats that can also infect a wide range of additional mammals including cows where it can cause mastitis. It is also an emerging human pathogen.

Plasmid-mediated changes in virulence of Vibrio cholerae [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1986
The effects of several plasmids, including cloning vectors and R factors, on the virulence of Vibrio cholerae CA401R were determined by measuring the dose-related diarrheal response in orally challenged infant mice. The plasmids were also examined for their effects on the colonization ability of strain CA401R by joint infection experiments with a ...

An evaluation of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens Virulence gene system as a potential diagnostic test for Neuroblastoma. [PDF]

, 1993
Neuroblastoma is a common pediatric cancer, the prognosis for which is markedly dependent upon the progression of the disease at the time of diagnosis.

Multiple pathways of plasmid DNA transfer in Helicobacter pylori [PDF]

, 2012
Many Helicobacter pylori (Hp) strains carry cryptic plasmids of different size and gene content, the function of which is not well understood. A subgroup of these plasmids (e.g.

Antimicrobial drug resistance and genetic properties of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis circulating in chicken farms in Tunisia

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2017
This study focused on 77 isolates of Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis collected during 2009 to 2013 from healthy and sick chickens and environmental farm samples in Tunisia. Resistance to 14 antimicrobials and the encoding genes were analyzed. 66,

Different effects of plasmids harboring blaOXA-232 between major and minor clones in Klebsiella pneumoniae

Microbiology Spectrum
This study investigated the differing impact of introducing the globally reported blaOXA-232-harboring ColE-type plasmid on the plasmid stability, competitiveness, virulence, and gene expression of Klebsiella pneumoniae transconjugants from major high ...
