2015-04-01ZeitschriftenartikelCapsules, Toxins and AtxA as Virulence Factors of Emerging Bacillus cereus Biovar anthracis Emerging B. cereus strains that cause anthrax-like disease have been isolated in Cameroon (CA strain) and Côte d’Ivoire (CI strain). These strains are unusual, because their genomic characterisation shows that they belong ...

2015-04-02ZeitschriftenartikelComparative Genomic Analysis of Two Novel Sporadic Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia coli O104:H4 Strains Isolated 2011 in Germany A large outbreak of gastrointestinal disease occurred in 2011 in Germany which resulted in almost 4000 patients with acute gastroenteritis or hemorrhagic colitis, 855 cases of a hemolytic uremic syndrome and 53 deaths. The ...

2014-12-19ZeitschriftenartikelDiscrete and overlapping functions of peptidoglycan synthases in growth, cell division and virulence of Listeria monocytogenes Upon ingestion of contaminated food, Listeria monocytogenes can cause serious infections in humans that are normally treated with β-lactam antibiotics. These target Listeria's five high molecular weight penicillin-binding ...

2012-08-05ZeitschriftenartikelFliA expression analysis and influence of the regulatory proteins RpoN, FleQ and FliA on virulence and in vivo fitness in Legionella pneumophila In Legionella pneumophila, the regulation of the flagellum and the expression of virulence traits are linked. FleQ, RpoN and FliA are the major regulators of the flagellar regulon. We demonstrated here that all three ...

2011-09-08ZeitschriftenartikelRare Occurrence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus CC130 with a Novel mecA Homologue in Humans in Germany MRSA CC130 containing the mecA homologue mecALGA251 were reported from the UK and from Denmark so far from cattle and humans. Here we report on 11 MRSA CC130 among a sample of 12691 isolates of human origin collected from ...

2010-07-09ZeitschriftenartikelThe Genome of a Bacillus Isolate Causing Anthrax in Chimpanzees Combines Chromosomal Properties of B. cereus with B. anthracis Virulence Plasmids Anthrax is a fatal disease caused by strains of Bacillus anthracis. Members of this monophyletic species are non motile and are all characterized by the presence of four prophages and a nonsense mutation in the plcR ...

2010-08-04ZeitschriftenartikelVirulence Determinants of Avian H5N1 Influenza A Virus in Mammalian and Avian Hosts: Role of the C-Terminal ESEV Motif in the Viral NS1 Protein We assessed the prediction that access of the viral NS1 protein to cellular PDZ domain protein networks enhances the virulence of highly pathogenic avian influenza A viruses. The NS1 proteins of most avian influenza viruses ...
