Macrolide-resistant Campylobacter: the meat of the matter (2007)
Belanger, Aimee E., Shryock, Thomas R.
The use of macrolide antibiotics in food animals has the potential to select for macrolide-resistant strains of resident bacterial flora. This may include the animal pathogens that are the intended...
Exponential-Phase Glycogen Recycling Is Essential for Growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis
Belanger, Aimee E., Hatfull, Graham F.
Bacterial glycogen is a polyglucose storage compound that is thought to prolong viability during stationary phase. However, a specific role for glycogen has not been determined. We have characterized...
Klann, Amy G., Belanger, Aimee E., Lee, Janice Y., Hatfull, Graham F.
We have isolated a UV-induced temperature-sensitive mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis that fails to grow at 42°C and exhibits a filamentous phenotype following incubation at the nonpermissive...
Belanger, Aimee E., Porter, Joelle C., Hatfull, Graham F.
A temperature-sensitive mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis was characterized that contains a mutation in ddlA, the gene encoding d-alanine:d-alanine ligase. Enzymatic assays using recombinant proteins...
Belanger, Aimee E., Lai, Angel, Brackman, Marcia A., LeBlanc, Donald J.
Described here are the development and validation of a novel approach to identify genes encoding drug targets in Streptococcus pneumoniae. The method relies on the use of an ordered genomic library...
Pyruvate Oxidase Is a Determinant of Avery's Rough Morphology
Belanger, Aimee E., Clague, Melissa J., Glass, John I., LeBlanc, Donald J.
In pioneering studies, Avery et al. identified DNA as the hereditary material (A. T. Avery, C. M. MacLeod, and M. McCarty, J. Exp. Med. 79:137-158, 1944). They demonstrated, by means of variation in...
