The genome of Aeromonas salmonicidasubsp. salmonicidaA449: insights into the evolution of a fish pathogen (2008)

Reith, Michael E, Singh, Rama K, Curtis, Bruce, Boyd, Jessica M, Bouevitch, Anne, Kimball, Jennifer, ...

Abstract Background Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida is a Gram-negative bacterium that is the causative agent of furunculosis, a bacterial septicaemia of salmonid fish. While other species of...

Comparative genomics profiling of clinical isolates of Aeromonas salmonicidausing DNA microarrays (2006)

Nash, John HE, Findlay, Wendy A, Luebbert, Christian C, Mykytczuk, Oksana L, Foote, Simon J, Taboada, Eduardo N, ...

Abstract Background Aeromonas salmonicida has been isolated from numerous fish species and shows wide variation in virulence and pathogenicity. As part of a larger research program to identify...

Nanoscale Characterization and Determination of Adhesion Forces of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pili by Using Atomic Force Microscopy

Touhami, Ahmed, Jericho, Manfred H., Boyd, Jessica M., Beveridge, Terry J.

Type IV pili play an important role in bacterial adhesion, motility, and biofilm formation. Here we present high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of type IV pili from Pseudomonas...
