| evidence that the cytolethal distending toxin locus was once part of a genomic island in the periodontal pathogen aggregatibacter (actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans strain y4. | the authors have previously shown that the periodontal pathogen aggregatibacter (formerly actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans y4 contains an operon for a genotoxin known as the cytolethal distending toxin (cdt). the cdt locus in strain y4 is flanked by remnants of heterologous plasmid and integrase sequences. in this study, the dna sequence immediately downstream from the cdt locus on the y4 chromosome was examined. the extended sequence contained a region that had all the characteristics of a ... | 2007 | 17965355 |
| isolation of histophilus somni from the nasal exudates of a clinically healthy adult goat. | the nasal exudate from 42 goats of the mixteca region in the state of puebla, mexico, was evaluated. a strain was isolated after 4 days of incubation. this strain was identified according to its phenotypic characteristics and by means of a species-specific polymerase chain reaction (pcr), as well as by sequencing of the amplified product. | 2011 | 21327861 |
