Nontypeable Pneumococci Can Be Divided into Multiple cps Types, Including One Type Expressing the Novel Gene pspK
Although virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae is associated with its capsule, some pathogenic S. pneumoniae isolates lack capsules and are serologically nontypeable (NT). We obtained 64 isolates that were identified as NT "pneumococci" (i.e., bacteria satisfying the conventional definition but without the multilocus sequence typing [MLST]-based definition of S. pneumoniae) by the traditional c...
متن کاملCan the Lung Cancer Pie Be Divided into Angiogenic Slices?
There are no validated markers for predicting benefit from angiogenesis inhibitors or classifying tumors with distinct angiogenic phenotypes. In patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with bevacizumab and erlotinib, Franzini and colleagues find that angiogenesis- and hypoxia-associated gene expression signatures predict tumor response and/or clinical outcome, and may define distinct a...
متن کاملMycobacterium marinum strains can be divided into two distinct types based on genetic diversity and virulence.
Mycobacterium marinum causes a systemic tuberculosis-like disease in a large number of poikilothermic animals and is used as a model for mycobacterial pathogenesis. In the present study, we infected zebra fish (Danio rerio) with different strains of M. marinum to determine the variation in pathogenicity. Depending on the M. marinum isolate, the fish developed an acute or chronic disease. Acute ...
متن کاملCircle Immersions That Can Be Divided into Two Arc Embeddings
We give a complete characterization of a circle immersion that can be divided into two arc embeddings in terms of its chord diagram.
متن کاملPneumococci of More Than One Capsular Type
Monoclonal antibodies against pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) have been shown to protect mice from fatal pneumococcal infection. PspA is highly variable serologically, raising the possibility that PspA from one strain might not be able to elicit protective responses against strains which possess serologically different PspA. We have prepared a Agtll library of pneumococcal genomic DNA and...
