Comparative genomics demonstrated that the chromosomes from bacteria and their viruses
(bacteriophages) are coevolving. This process is most evident for bacterial pathogens where …

Bacterial genome sequencing has become so easy and accessible that the genomes of
multiple strains of more and more individual species have been and will be generated …

The development of efficient and inexpensive genome sequencing methods has
revolutionized the study of human bacterial pathogens and improved vaccine design …

Streptococci readily colonize mucosal tissues in the nasopharynx; the respiratory,
gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts; and the skin. Each ecological niche presents a …

Chloramphenicol (Cm) and its fluorinated derivative florfenicol (Ff) represent highly potent
inhibitors of bacterial protein biosynthesis. As a consequence of the use of Cm in human …

The majority of the bacterial genome sequences deposited in the National Center for
Biotechnology Information database contain prophage sequences. Analysis of the …

ABSTRACT A multilocus sequence ty** (MLST) system was developed for group B
streptococcus (GBS). The system was used to characterize a collection (n= 152) of globally …

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonizes the gastrointestinal and vaginal epithelium of a
significant percentage of healthy women, with potential for ascending intrauterine infection …

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a β-hemolytic gram-positive bacterium that colonizes the
lower genital tract of approximately 18% of women globally as an asymptomatic member of …

Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a multiserotype bacterial pathogen representing a major
cause of life-threatening infections in newborns. To develop a broadly protective vaccine, we …
