The poly gamma-D-glutamic acid capsule confers antiphagocytic properties on Bacillus anthracis and is essential for virulence. In this study, we showed that two recombinant glutamylases: CapD, a...
Role of Catalase in Campylobacter jejuni Intracellular Survival
Day, William A., Sajecki, Jaime L., Pitts, Todd M., Joens, Lynn A.
The ability of Campylobacter jejuni to penetrate normally nonphagocytic host cells is believed to be a key virulence determinant. Recently, kinetics of C. jejuni intracellular survival have been...

Quorum-sensing systems regulate the expression of virulence factors in a wide variety of plant and animal pathogens, including members of the Enterobacteriaceae. Studies of Shigella virulence gene...
Day, William A., Fernández, Reinaldo E., Maurelli, Anthony T.
Pathoadaptive mutations improve the fitness of pathogenic species by modification of traits that interfere with factors (virulence and ancestral) required for survival in host tissues. A demonstrated...

The mxi-spa locus on the virulence plasmid of Shigella flexneri encodes components of the type III secretion system. mxiE, a gene within this locus, encodes a protein that is homologous to the...

The poly-γ-d-glutamic acid capsule confers antiphagocytic properties on Bacillus anthracis and is essential for virulence. In this study, we showed that CapD, a γ-polyglutamic acid depolymerase...
Day, William A., Rasmussen, Suzanne L., Carpenter, Beth M., Peterson, Scott N., Friedlander, Arthur M.
A transposon site hybridization (TraSH) assay was developed for functional analysis of the Bacillus anthracis genome using a mini-Tn10 transposon which permitted analysis of 82% of this pathogen's...
