Occurrence of sep insecticidal toxin complex genes in Serratia spp. and Yersinia frederiksenii.
Some strains of Serratia entomophila and S. proteamaculans cause amber disease of the grass grub Costelytra zealandica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). Three genes required for virulence, sepABC, are located on a large plasmid, pADAP. Sequence analysis suggests that the sepABC gene cluster may be part of a horizontally mobile region. This study presents evidence for the putative mobility of the sep ...
متن کاملHomologues of insecticidal toxin complex genes in Yersinia enterocolitica biotype 1A and their contribution to virulence.
Yersinia enterocolitica is an enteric pathogen that consists of six biotypes: 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Strains of the latter five biotypes can carry a virulence plasmid, known as pYV, and several well-characterized chromosomally encoded virulence determinants. Y. enterocolitica strains of biotype 1A lack the virulence-associated markers of pYV-bearing strains and were once considered to be aviru...
متن کاملIdentification of carbapenemase genes in Serratia spp
Background Reports of nosocomial infection due to carbapenem resistant Serratia spp. have become significantly more common. This resistance may be due to production of distinct carbapenemases, such as KPC [1,2]. This enzyme, initially described in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, has also been detected among other organisms, such as Serratia marcescens, emphasizing the global risk of interspecie...
متن کامل3D structure of the Yersinia entomophaga toxin complex and implications for insecticidal activity.
Toxin complex (Tc) proteins are a class of bacterial protein toxins that form large, multisubunit complexes. Comprising TcA, B, and C components, they are of great interest because many exhibit potent insecticidal activity. Here we report the structure of a novel Tc, Yen-Tc, isolated from the bacterium Yersinia entomophaga MH96, which differs from the majority of bacterially derived Tcs in that...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Yersinia frederiksenii, Yersinia intermedia, and Yersinia kristensenii Strains from Brazil
Yersinia enterocolitica-like strains are usually understudied. In this work, we reported the draft genome sequences of two Yersinia frederiksenii, two Yersinia intermedia, and two Yersinia kristensenii strains isolated from humans, animals, food, and the environment in Brazil. These draft genomes will provide better molecular characterizations of these species.
