Identification of a Putative Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhimurium Host Range Factor with Homology to IpaH and YopM by Signature-Tagged Mutagenesis

Tsolis, Renée M., Townsend, Stacy M., Miao, Edward A., Miller, Samuel I., Ficht, Thomas A., Adams, L. Garry, ...

The genetic basis for the host adaptation of Salmonella serotypes is currently unknown. We have explored a new strategy to identify Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (S. typhimurium) genes...

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,...

Citrobacter koseri Brain Abscess in the Neonatal Rat: Survival and Replication within Human and Rat Macrophages

Townsend, Stacy M., Pollack, Harvey A., Gonzalez-Gomez, Ignacio, Shimada, Hiroyuki, Badger, Julie L.

A unique feature of Citrobacter koseri is the extremely high propensity to initiate brain abscesses during neonatal meningitis. Previous clinical reports and studies on infant rats have documented...

TraJ-Dependent Escherichia coli K1 Interactions with Professional Phagocytes Are Important for Early Systemic Dissemination of Infection in the Neonatal Rat

Hill, Val T., Townsend, Stacy M., Arias, Robyn S., Jenabi, Jasmine M., Gomez-Gonzalez, Ignacio, Shimada, Hiroyuki, ...

Escherichia coli is a major cause of neonatal bacterial sepsis and meningitis. We recently identified a gene, traJ, which contributes to the ability of E. coli K1 to penetrate the blood-brain barrier...
