pathogenic properties of edwardsiella species.	the pathogenic characteristics of 35 edwardsiella strains from clinical and environmental sources were investigated. overall, most edwardsiella tarda strains were invasive in hep-2 cell monolayers, produced a cell-associated hemolysin and siderophores, and bound congo red; many strains also expressed mannose-resistant hemagglutination against guinea pig erythrocytes. edwardsiella hoshinae strains bound congo red and were variable in their invasive and hemolytic capabilities while edwardsiella ic ...	1991	1774326
penetration and replication of edwardsiella spp. in hep-2 cells.	the ability of 22 edwardsiella strains to penetrate and replicate in cultured epithelial cells was initially evaluated by light microscopy methods and by the recovery of gentamicin-resistant (gmr) bacteria from the triton x-100 cell lysates of hep-2-infected monolayers. giemsa-stained hep-2 cells revealed the presence of numerous internalized bacteria 3 h postinfection, often appearing as parallel rows of replicated bacteria within the cytosol and sometimes obliterating the cytoplasm because of ...	1991	1987028
antibiotic susceptibility of edwardsiella hoshinae isolated from northern bobwhite quail (colinus virginianus).		2004	15264489
antimicrobial and herbal drug resistance in enteric bacteria isolated from faecal droppings of common house lizard/gecko (hemidactylus frenatus).	from 194 faecal dropping samples of common house geckos collected from offices (60), houses (88), integrated farm units (ifs,18) and hostels, guest houses, and dining rooms of different canteen/mess (hgm, 28), 326 bacterial isolates of enteric bacteria belonging to 17 genera and 34 species were detected. escherichia coli were the most frequently (39) isolated followed by citrobacter freundii (33), klebsiella pneumonia (27), salmonella indica (12), enterobacter gergoviae (12), and ent. agglomeran ...	2013	24223595
complete genome sequence of edwardsiella hoshinae atcc 35051.	edwardsiella hoshinae is a gram-negative facultative anaerobe that has primarily been isolated from avians and reptiles. we report here the complete and annotated genome sequence of an isolate from a monitor lizard (varanus sp.), which contains a chromosome of 3,811,650 bp and no plasmids.	2017	28183769
prevalence, antibiotic susceptibility and characterization of antibiotic resistant genes among carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacilli and yeast in intestinal flora of cancer patients in north lebanon.	the emergence and spread of carbapenem-resistant bacteria are a significant clinical and public health concern. the aim of the study is to determine the prevalence of intestinal carriage of carbapenem-resistant bacteria and yeasts in cancer patients under chemotherapy. 41 stool samples collected from cancer patients in nini hospital in tripoli, north lebanon have been analyzed. after isolating yeasts and carbapenem-resistant bacteria, a biochemical identification and antimicrobial susceptibility ...	2017	28216021
