| candidatus bartonella antechini: a novel bartonella species detected in fleas and ticks from the yellow-footed antechinus (antechinus flavipes), an australian marsupial. | bartonella are fastidious, gram-negative, aerobic bacilli belonging to the alphaproteobacteria group. in the last ten years, the discovery of new bartonella species from a variety of mammalian hosts, arthropod vectors and geographical areas has increased. more than 20 species of bartonella have been identified, of which approximately thirteen are associated with disease in humans and animals. recently, four novel species of bartonella were isolated from mammalian hosts in australia: bartonella a ... | 2010 | 21215534 |
| pathogenomic inference of virulence-associated genes in leptospira interrogans. | leptospirosis is a globally important, neglected zoonotic infection caused by spirochetes of the genus leptospira. since genetic transformation remains technically limited for pathogenic leptospira, a systems biology pathogenomic approach was used to infer leptospiral virulence genes by whole genome comparison of culture-attenuated leptospira interrogans serovar lai with its virulent, isogenic parent. among the 11 pathogen-specific protein-coding genes in which non-synonymous mutations were foun ... | 2013 | 24098822 |
| testing the reproducibility of multiple displacement amplification on genomes of clonal endosymbiont populations. | the multiple displacement amplification method has revolutionized genomic studies of uncultured bacteria, where the extraction of pure dna in sufficient quantity for next-generation sequencing is challenging. however, the method is problematic in that it amplifies the target dna unevenly, induces the formation of chimeric reads and also amplifies contaminating dna. here, we have tested the reproducibility of the multiple displacement amplification method using serial dilutions of extracted genom ... | 2013 | 24312412 |
| phylogeny and putative virulence gene analysis of bartonella bovis. | bartonella bovis is a small gram-negative bacterium recognized as an etiological agent for bacteremia and endocarditis in cattle. as few reports are available on the taxonomic position of b. bovis and its mechanism of virulence, this study aims to resolve the phylogeny of b. bovis and investigate putative virulence genes based on whole genome sequence analysis. genome-wide comparisons based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (snp) and orthologous genes were performed in this study for phylogenet ... | 2017 | 29311425 |
