Comparative analysis of the genome sequences of Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica (2003)

Parkhill,Julian, Sebaihia,Mohammed, Preston,Andrew, Murphy,Lee D., Thomson,Nicholas, Harris,David E., ...

Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica are closely related Gram-negative -proteobacteria that colonize the respiratory tracts of mammals. B. pertussis is a...

Yersinia pestis pFra Shows Biovar-Specific Differences and Recent Common Ancestry with a Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi Plasmid

Prentice, Michael B., James, Keith D., Parkhill, Julian, Baker, Stephen G., Stevens, Kim, Simmonds, Mark N., ...

Population genetic studies suggest that Yersinia pestis, the cause of plague, is a clonal pathogen that has recently emerged from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Plasmid acquisition is likely to have...

Genetic Basis for Lipopolysaccharide O-Antigen Biosynthesis in Bordetellae

Preston, Andrew, Allen, Andrew G., Cadisch, Joanna, Thomas, Richard, Stevens, Kim, Churcher, Carol M., ...

Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis express a surface polysaccharide, attached to a lipopolysaccharide, which has been called O antigen. This structure is absent from Bordetella...

Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi Possesses a Unique Repertoire of Fimbrial Gene Sequences

Townsend, Stacy M., Kramer, Naomi E., Edwards, Robert, Baker, Stephen, Hamlin, Nancy, Simmonds, Mark, ...

Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi differs from nontyphoidal Salmonella serotypes by its strict host adaptation to humans and higher primates. Since fimbriae have been implicated in host adaptation,...

Complete genomes of two clinical Staphylococcus aureus strains: Evidence for the rapid evolution of virulence and drug resistance

Holden, Matthew T. G., Feil, Edward J., Lindsay, Jodi A., Peacock, Sharon J., Day, Nicholas P. J., Enright, Mark C., ...

Staphylococcus aureus is an important nosocomial and community-acquired pathogen. Its genetic plasticity has facilitated the evolution of many virulent and drug-resistant strains, presenting a major...

Genomic plasticity of the causative agent of melioidosis, Burkholderia pseudomallei

Holden, Matthew T. G., Titball, Richard W., Peacock, Sharon J., Cerdeño-Tárraga, Ana M., Atkins, Timothy, Crossman, Lisa C., ...

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a recognized biothreat agent and the causative agent of melioidosis. This Gram-negative bacterium exists as a soil saprophyte in melioidosis-endemic areas of the world...
