Abstract Background Campylobacter jejuni is a gastrointestinal pathogen of humans, but part of the normal flora of poultry, and therefore grows well at the respective body temperatures of 37°C and...
Tu, Zheng-Chao, Ray, Kevin C., Thompson, Stuart A., Blaser, Martin J.
Campylobacter fetus cells possess multiple promoterless sap homologs, each capable of expressing a surface layer protein (SLP) by utilizing a unique promoter present on a 6.2-kb invertible element....
Campylobacter fetus sap Inversion Occurs in the Absence of RecA Function
Ray, Kevin C., Tu, Zheng-Chao, Grogono-Thomas, Rosemary, Newell, Diane G., Thompson, Stuart A., Blaser, Martin J.
Phase variation of Campylobacter fetus surface layer proteins (SLPs) occurs by inversion of a 6.2-kb DNA segment containing the unique sap promoter, permitting expression of a single SLP-encoding...
Helicobacter pylori Heat Shock Protein A: Serologic Responses and Genetic Diversity
Ng, Enders K. W., Thompson, Stuart A., Pérez-Pérez, Guillermo I., Kansau, Imad, Van Der Ende, Arie, Labigne, Agnès, ...
Helicobacter pylori synthesizes an unusual GroES homolog, heat shock protein A (HspA). The present study was aimed at an assessment of the serological response to HspA in a group of Chinese patients...
Campylobacter fetus Surface Layer Proteins Are Transported by a Type I Secretion System
Thompson, Stuart A., Shedd, Omer L., Ray, Kevin C., Beins, Michael H., Jorgensen, Jesse P., Blaser, Martin J.
The virulence of Campylobacter fetus, a bacterial pathogen of ungulates and humans, is mediated in part by the presence of a paracrystalline surface layer (S-layer) that confers serum resistance. The...
Helicobacter pylori Does Not Require Lewis X or Lewis Y Expression To Colonize C3H/HeJ mice
Takata, Tohru, El-Omar, Emad, Camorlinga, Margarita, Thompson, Stuart A., Minohara, Yutaka, Ernst, Peter B., ...
Helicobacter pylori strains frequently express Lewis X (Lex) and/or Ley on their cell surfaces as constituents of the O antigens of their lipopolysaccharide molecules. To assess the effect of Lex and...

The putative global posttranscriptional regulator csrA was mutated in Campylobacter jejuni 81-176. The csrA mutant was attenuated in surviving oxidative stress. CsrA also contributed to biofilm...
Kim, Joo-Sung, Li, Jiaqi, Barnes, If H. A., Baltzegar, David A., Pajaniappan, Mohanasundari, Cullen, Thomas W., ...
Mutation of the cj1461 predicted methyltransferase gene reduced the motility of Campylobacter jejuni 81-176. Electron microscopy revealed that the mutant strain had flagella but with aberrant...
