Sex and virulence in Escherichia coli: an evolutionary perspective (2006)
Wirth, Thierry, Falush, Daniel, Lan, Ruiting, Colles, Frances, Mensa, Patience, Wieler, Lothar H., ...
Pathogenic Escherichia coli cause over 160 million cases of dysentery and one million deaths per year, whereas non-pathogenic E. coli constitute part of the normal intestinal flora of healthy mammals...
Ribotyping has been widely used to characterise the seventh pandemic clone including South American and O139 variants which appeared in 1991 and 1992 respectively. To reveal the molecular basis of...

Molecular genetic studies of ultraviolet radiation carcinogenesis in the mouse (1992)
Bibliography: leaves 153-182.
Pupo, Gulietta M., Lan, Ruiting, Reeves, Peter R.
The evolutionary relationships of 46 Shigella strains representing each of the serotypes belonging to the four traditional Shigella species (subgroups), Dysenteriae, Flexneri, Boydii, and Sonnei,...
Byun, Roy, Elbourne, Liam D. H., Lan, Ruiting, Reeves, Peter R.
Studies of the Vibrio cholerae population, using molecular typing techniques, have shown the existence of several pathogenic clones, mainly sixth-pandemic, seventh-pandemic, and U.S. Gulf Coast...
Comparison of Vibrio cholerae Pathogenicity Islands in Sixth and Seventh Pandemic Strains
Karaolis, David K. R., Lan, Ruiting, Kaper, James B., Reeves, Peter R.
Epidemic Vibrio cholerae strains possess a large cluster of essential virulence genes on the chromosome called the Vibrio pathogenicity island (VPI). The VPI contains the tcp gene cluster encoding...
Lan, Ruiting, Lumb, Brad, Ryan, David, Reeves, Peter R.
Three genes, ipgD, mxiC, and mxiA, all in the invasion region of the Shigella virulence plasmid, were sequenced from strains representing a range of Shigella serotypes and from two enteroinvasive...
Luz, Sara Pérez, Rodríguez-Valera, Francisco, Lan, Ruiting, Reeves, Peter R.
The 16S-23S spacer regions of two ribosomal operons (rrnA and rrnE) have been sequenced in seven representatives of the Salmonella enterica subspecies. Isolated nucleotide substitutions were found at...
Lan, Ruiting, Reeves, Peter R.
The seventh cholera pandemic started in 1961 and continues today. A collection of 45 seventh pandemic isolates of V. cholerae sampled over a 33-year period were analyzed by amplified fragment length...
Hu, Honghua, Lan, Ruiting, Reeves, Peter R.
Fluorescent amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was applied to 46 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium isolates of Australian origin comprising nine phage types, by using the restriction...
Lan, Ruiting, Stevenson, Gordon, Reeves, Peter R.
All Shigella and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) strains carry a 230-kb virulence plasmid (pINV) which is essential for their invasiveness. There are two sequence forms, pINV A and pINV B, of...
Molecular Evolutionary Relationships of Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli and Shigella spp.
Lan, Ruiting, Alles, M. Chehani, Donohoe, Kathy, Martinez, Marina B., Reeves, Peter R.
Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC), a distinctive pathogenic form of E. coli causing dysentery, is similar in many properties to bacteria placed in the four species of Shigella. Shigella has been...
Rezwan, Ferdousi, Lan, Ruiting, Reeves, Peter R.
The molecular basis of the loss of tryptophan utilization (indole-negative phenotype) of Shigella strains, in effect clones of Escherichia coli, was investigated. Analysis of the tna operon of 23...
Evolutionary Changes of the flhDC Flagellar Master Operon in Shigella Strains
Tominaga, Akira, Lan, Ruiting, Reeves, Peter R.
Shigella strains are nonmotile. The master operon of flagellar synthesis, flhDC, was analyzed for genetic damage in 46 Shigella strains representing all known serotypes. In 11 strains (B1, B3, B6,...
Hu, Honghua, Lan, Ruiting, Reeves, Peter R.
Serovar Typhimurium of Salmonella enterica is a model organism for studies of pathogenesis that exhibits phage-type variation and variation in host range and virulence, but in a recent study showed...
