The novel polysaccharide deacetylase homologue Pdi contributes to virulence of the aquatic pathogen Streptococcus iniae.
The aquatic zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus iniae represents a threat to the worldwide aquaculture industry and poses a risk to humans who handle raw fish. Because little is known about the mechanisms of S. iniae pathogenesis or virulence factors, we established a high-throughput system combining whole-genome pyrosequencing and transposon mutagenesis that allowed us to identify virulence protei...
متن کاملAnalysis of the polysaccharide capsule of the systemic pathogen Streptococcus iniae and its implications in virulence.
Systemic pathogens have developed numerous strategies for evading the defenses of the host, permitting dissemination and multiplication in various tissues. One means of survival in the host, particularly in the bloodstream, has been attributed to the ability to avoid phagocytosis via capsular polysaccharide. To further define the virulence capacity of Streptococcus iniae, a zoonotic pathogen wi...
متن کاملLarge-scale screen highlights the importance of capsule for virulence in the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus iniae.
Zoonotic pathogens have the unique ability to cross the species barrier, causing disease in both humans and specific animal hosts. Streptococcus iniae is a zoonotic pathogen of both fish and humans, and the clinical presentations of S. iniae infections in fish and humans are very similar to those caused by various human-specific streptococcal pathogens. Virulence mechanisms required for infecti...
متن کاملStreptococcus iniae capsule impairs phagocytic clearance and contributes to virulence in fish.
Surface capsular polysaccharides play a critical role in protecting several pathogenic microbes against innate host defenses during infection. Little is known about virulence mechanisms of the fish pathogen Streptococcus iniae, though indirect evidence suggests that capsule could represent an important factor. The putative S. iniae capsule operon contains a homologue of the cpsD gene, which is ...
متن کاملwuthering heights and the concept of marality/a sociological study of the novel
to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...
