haemolysin ofEscherichia coli: Comparison of pore-forming properties between chromosome and plasmid-encoded haemolysins

The Pore-Forming Haemolysins of Bacillus Cereus: A Review

The Bacillus cereus sensu lato group contains diverse Gram-positive spore-forming bacteria that can cause gastrointestinal diseases and severe eye infections in humans. They have also been incriminated in a multitude of other severe, and frequently fatal, clinical infections, such as osteomyelitis, septicaemia, pneumonia, liver abscess and meningitis, particularly in immuno-compromised patients...

Citrate utilization by Escherichia coli: plasmid- and chromosome-encoded systems.

Citrate utilization plasmids have previously been identified in atypical Escherichia coli isolates. A different citrate-utilizing (Cit+) variant of E. coli K-12 arose as a consequence of two chromosomal mutations (B. G. Hall, J. Bacteriol. 151:269-273, 1982). The processes controlling the transport of citrate in both a Cit+ chromosomal mutant and a Cit+ plasmid system were studied. Both systems...

Prevalence of plasmid-encoded carbapenemases in multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli from patients with urinary tract infection in northern Iran

Objective(s): Resistance to carbapenems as the last line for controlling resistant bacteria is increasing due to production of carbapenemase. The aim of this study was to detect the plasmid-encoded carbapenemases using phenotypic methods and multiplex PCR among the multi-drug resistant (MDR) isolates from patients with urinary tract infection (UTI) in northern Iran.<br...
