Identification of novel virulence-associated genes via genome analysis of hypothetical genes.
The sequencing of bacterial genomes has opened new perspectives for identification of targets for treatment of infectious diseases. We have identified a set of novel virulence-associated genes (vag genes) by comparing the genome sequences of six human pathogens that are known to cause persistent or chronic infections in humans: Yersinia pestis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Helicobacter pylori, Borrel...
متن کاملIdentification of Virulence Genes in Staphylococcus aureus Isolates Segregated from Children’s Wounds
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium that can provide invasive conditions by secreting various toxins. It is involved in the development of skin infections, such as swollen and ulcers. Today, one of the main problems is the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus resistant strains. The aim of the current study was to detect virulence factors and antibiotic re...
متن کاملCharacterization of Novel Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Staphylococcal aureus
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com resistance to vancomycin portend a chemotherapeutic era in which effectual bactericidal antibiotics against this organism may no longer be available [4]. The irony of this trend toward progressively more resistant bacteria is that it coincides with a period of increased understanding of the molecular mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Unfortuna...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of a Novel Staphylococcal Emetic Toxin.
Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) produced by Staphylococcus aureus have superantigenic and emetic activities, which cause toxic shock syndrome and staphylococcal food poisoning, respectively. Our previous study demonstrated that the sequence of SET has a low level of similarity to the sequences of other SEs and exhibits atypical bioactivities. Hence, we further explored whether there is an add...
متن کاملLarge-scale identification of virulence genes from Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the major cause of bacterial pneumonia, and it is also responsible for otitis media and meningitis in children. Apart from the capsule, the virulence factors of this pathogen are not completely understood. Recent technical advances in the field of bacterial pathogenesis (in vivo expression technology and signature-tagged mutagenesis [STM]) have allowed a large-scale ...
