Deciphering the distance to antibiotic resistance for the pneumococcus using genome sequencing data
Advances in genome sequencing technologies and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have provided unprecedented insights into the molecular basis of microbial phenotypes and enabled the identification of the underlying genetic variants in real populations. However, utilization of genome sequencing in clinical phenotyping of bacteria is challenging due to the lack of reliable and accurate appr...
متن کاملThe Pneumococcus
So many, 11 of 14, contributors to this volume are from the Atlanta area that I expected this book to speak with a Southern drawl. That it does not attests to how much this metropolis, growing in kudzu-fashion, has changed. This element of profound change is also a major motif in the 10 chapters collected by the editors to promote community-based health research as a mechanism for addressing hi...
متن کاملThe Biology of Pneumococcus
This is an extraordinary book-one which should be read by every student of biology whether young or old, trained or untrained. One of the world's most distinguished geneticists has taken time from his research to write one of the most entertaining presentations of the living organism that is likely to be found in many a long journey. Choosing as his model the somewhat unlovely parasite, Ascaris...
متن کاملPneumococcus Hemotoxin
Solutions of the bodies of pneumococci, obtained by dissolving them in dilute solutions of sodium cholate, by permitting them to undergo autolysis, or by first freezing, drying, and then grinding in salt solution, are actively hemolytic for rabbit, sheep, guinea pig, and human red blood corpuscles. The substance on which this hemolytic property depends is very labile, much of its activity is lo...
متن کاملPneumococcus: the sugar-coated bacteria.
The study of Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) had been a central issue in medicine for many decades until the use of antibiotics became generalized. Many fundamental contributions to the history of microbiology should credit this bacterium: the capsular precipitin reaction, the major role this reaction plays in the development of immunology through the identification of polysaccharid...
