The OmpA-Like Protein Loa22 Is Essential for Leptospiral Virulence (2007)

Paula Ristow, Pascale Bourhy, Claudio Pereira Figueira, Michel Huerre, Patrick Ave, ...

Pathogenic mechanisms of Leptospira interrogans, the causal agent of leptospirosis, remain largely unknown. This is mainly due to the lack of tools for genetic manipulations of pathogenic species. In...

The LE1 Bacteriophage Replicates as a Plasmid within Leptospira biflexa: Construction of an L. biflexa-Escherichia coli Shuttle Vector

Girons, Isabelle Saint, Bourhy, Pascale, Ottone, Catherine, Picardeau, Mathieu, Yelton, David, Hendrix, Roger W., ...

We have discovered that LE1, one of the plaque-forming phages previously described as lytic for the Leptospira biflexa saprophytic spirochete (I. Saint Girons, D. Margarita, P. Amouriaux, and G....

Random Insertional Mutagenesis of Leptospira interrogans, the Agent of Leptospirosis, Using a mariner Transposon

Bourhy, Pascale, Louvel, Hélène, Saint Girons, Isabelle, Picardeau, Mathieu

The recent availability of the complete genome sequences of Leptospira interrogans, the agent of leptospirosis, has allowed the identification of several putative virulence factors. However, to our...

The Scc Spirochetal Coiled-Coil Protein Forms Helix-Like Filaments and Binds to Nucleic Acids Generating Nucleoprotein Structures

Mazouni, Khalil, Pehau-Arnaudet, Gérard, England, Patrick, Bourhy, Pascale, Saint Girons, Isabelle, Picardeau, Mathieu

The analysis of the genome of Leptospira spp., a group of bacteria of the phylum of spirochetes with several unique evolutionary and morphological features, has allowed the identification of a gene...

Complete Nucleotide Sequence of the LE1 Prophage from the Spirochete Leptospira biflexa and Characterization of Its Replication and Partition Functions

Bourhy, Pascale, Frangeul, Lionel, Couvé, Elisabeth, Glaser, Philippe, Saint Girons, Isabelle, Picardeau, Mathieu

The first and, to date, only extrachromosomal circular replicon identified in the spirochete Leptospira is the LE1 prophage from Leptospira biflexa. The 74-kb LE1 genome has a GC content of 36%,...

A Genomic Island of the Pathogen Leptospira interrogans Serovar Lai Can Excise from Its Chromosome▿ †

Bourhy, Pascale, Salaün, Laurence, Lajus, Aurélie, Médigue, Claudine, Boursaux-Eude, Caroline, Picardeau, Mathieu

An examination of the two Leptospira interrogans genomes sequenced so far reveals few genetic differences, including an extra DNA region, 54 kb in length, in L. interrogans serovar Lai. This locus...
