Determination of the genome sequence of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 Sakai
and genomic comparison with the laboratory strain K-12 has revealed that the two strains …

The bacterium Escherichia coli O157: H7 is a worldwide threat to public health and has
been implicated in many outbreaks of haemorrhagic colitis, some of which included fatalities …

Escherichia coli O157: H7 is a major food-borne infectious pathogen that causes diarrhea,
hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Here we report the complete …

Proteins interact with genomic DNA to bring the genome to life; and these interactions also
define many functional features of the genome. SBF and MBF are sequence-specific …

Phages have highly compact genomes with sizes reflecting their capacity to exploit the host
resources. Here, we investigate the reasons for tRNAs being the only translation-associated …

ABSTRACT We present the 4.8-Mb complete genome sequence of Salmonella enterica
serovar Typhi strain Ty2, a human-specific pathogen causing typhoid fever. A comparison …

Scrub typhus ('Tsutsugamushi'disease in Japanese) is a mite-borne infectious disease. The
causative agent is Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligate intracellular bacterium belonging to …

Phages and prophages are one of the principal modulators of microbial populations.
However, much of their diversity is still poorly understood. Here, we extracted 33,624 …

Nucleotide sequences of Shiga toxin (Stx) genes in STEC from various origins were
determined and characterized by phylogenetic analysis based on Shiga toxin (Stx) with …

In 2009, an outbreak of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) on an open farm
infected 93 persons, and approximately 22% of these individuals developed hemolytic …
