A simplified protocol of subtractive hybridization based on the technique of L. M, Kunkel, A. P, Monaco, W, Middlesworth, H, D, Ochs & S, A. Latt (1985, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 82, 4778-4782) was u...

Leptospira species colonize a significant proportion of rodent populations worldwide and produce life-threatening infections in accidental hosts, including humans. Complete genome sequencing of Lep...

We report the plaque propagation and genomic analysis of Xfas53, a temperate phage of Xylella fastidiosa. Xfas53 was isolated from supernatants of X. fastidiosa strain 53 and forms plaques on the s...

Oligonucleotide frequencies were shown to be conserved signatures for bacterial genomes, however, the underlying constraints have yet not been resolved in detail. In this paper we analyzed oligonuc...

A 13-kb DNA fragment containing oriC and the flanking genes thdF, orf900, yidC, rnpA, rpmH, oriC, dnaA, dnaN, recF, and gyrB was cloned from the gram-negative plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris ...

One could almost say that it is the latest fashion to sequence a bacterial genome. However, this would belittle the efforts of those working on these important organisms, whose data will greatly he...

The complete 41 268 bp nucleotide sequence of the IncP-1 beta plasmid pBP136 from the human pathogen Bordetella pertussis, the primary aetiological agent of whooping cough, was determined and analy...

In this study, filamentous phage XacF1, which can infect Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac) strains, was isolated and characterized. Electron microscopy showed that XacF1 is a member of the fam...

Employing the biparental exogenous plasmid isolation method, conjugative plasmids conferring mercury resistance were isolated from the microbial community of the rhizosphere of field grown alfalfa ...

The quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of topoisomerase II and IV genes from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ATCC 13637 were sequenced and compared with the corresponding regions of 32 u...
