Shigella spp. cause hundreds of millions intestinal infections each year. They target the mucosa human colon and are an important model intracellular bacterial pathogenesis. is a pathovar Escherichia coli that characterized by presence large invasion plasmid, pINV, which encodes characteristic type III secretion system icsA used for cytosol cell-to-cell spread, respectively. First, we review re...

Yersinia enterocolitica is an important pathogen to animals and humans. Thirteen strains of Y. enterocolitica were isolated from diseased fish. The partial 16SrDNA gene, five virulence genes, pathogenicity, and drug resistance of Y. enterocolitica strain G6029 were studied using molecular biological technology and toxicological method. Results showed that the length of amplified 16SrDNA sequenc...

The primary sequence of the long unique region L-DNA (L for low GC) of rhesus monkey rhadinovirus (RRV) isolate 26-95 was determined. The L-DNA consists of 130,733 bp that contain 84 open reading frames (ORFs). The overall organization of the RRV26-95 genome was found to be very similar to that of human Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). BLAST search analysis revealed that in almost ...
