Microevolution and History of the Plague Bacillus, Yersinia pestis (1998)

Achtman, Mark, Morelli, Giovanna, Zhu, Peixuan, Wirth, Thierry, Diehl, Ines

The association of historical plague pandemics with Yersinia pestis remains controversial, partly because the evolutionary history of this largely monomorphic bacterium was unknown. The...

Fit genotypes and escape variants of subgroup III Neisseria meningitidis during three pandemics of epidemic meningitis

Zhu, Peixuan, Van Der Ende, Arie, Falush, Daniel, Brieske, Norbert, Morelli, Giovanna, Linz, Bodo, ...

The genetic variability at six polymorphic loci was examined within a global collection of 502 isolates of subgroup III, serogroup A Neisseria meningitidis. Nine “genoclouds” were identified,...

Influence of the Length of the Lipooligosaccharide α Chain on Its Sialylation in Neisseria meningitidis

Tsai, Chao-Ming, Kao, George, Zhu, Peixuan

The sialylation of lipooligosaccharide (LOS) in Neisseria meningitidis plays a role in the resistance of the organism to killing by normal human serum. The length of the α chain extending out from...

Nonencapsulated Neisseria meningitidis Strain Produces Amylopectin from Sucrose: Altering the Concept for Differentiation between N. meningitidis and N. polysaccharea

Zhu, Peixuan, Tsang, Raymond S. W., Tsai, Chao-Ming

Neisseria meningitidis is the causative agent of meningococcal sepsis and meningitis. Neisseria polysaccharea is a nonpathogenic species. N. polysaccharea is able to use sucrose to produce...

Phenotypic and Genetic Characterization of a Unique Variant of Serogroup C ET-15 Meningococci (with the Antigenic Formula C:2a:P1.7,1) Causing Invasive Meningococcal Disease in Quebec, Canada

Tsang, Raymond S. W., Ming Tsai, Chao, Zhu, Peixuan, Ringuette, Louise, Lorange, Manon, Law, Dennis K. S.

Serogroup C Neisseria meningitidis belonging to the electrophoretic type (ET) ET-15, a variant of ET-37, is endemic in Canada. Like other serogroup C ET-37 meningococci, the endemic ET-15 strains are...

Microevolution and history of the plague bacillus, Yersinia pestis

Achtman, Mark, Morelli, Giovanna, Zhu, Peixuan, Wirth, Thierry, Diehl, Ines, Kusecek, Barica, ...

The association of historical plague pandemics with Yersinia pestis remains controversial, partly because the evolutionary history of this largely monomorphic bacterium was unknown. The...

por Variable-Region Typing by DNA Probe Hybridization Is Broadly Applicable to Epidemiologic Studies of Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Bash, Margaret C., Zhu, Peixuan, Gulati, Sunita, McKnew, Durrie, Rice, Peter A., Lynn, Freyja

The porin gene (porB) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae encodes the major outer membrane protein identified as PI or Por. To examine the utility of por variable-region (VR) typing, porB from 206 isolates was...
