ASSIGNMENT OF STREPTOCOCCUS AGALACTIAE ISOLATES TO CLONAL COMPLEXES USING A SMALL SET OF SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS

Assignment of Streptococcus agalactiae isolates to clonal complexes using a small set of single nucleotide polymorphisms

Abstract Background Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus (GBS)) is an important human pathogen, particularly of newborns.Emerging evidence for a relationship between genotype and virulence has accentuated the need for efficient and well-defined typing methods.The objective of this study was to develop a single nucleotide polymorphism (SN

Fast radio bursts as standard candles for cosmology

Recently, fast radio bursts (FRBs) have become a thriving field in astronomy and cosmology.Due to their extragalactic and cosmological origin, they are useful to study the cosmic expansion and the intergalactic medium (IGM).In the literature, the dispersion measure (DM) of FRB has been considered extensively.It could be used as an indirect proxy of

A Type VI Secretion System Trans-Kingdom Effector Is Required for the Delivery of a Novel Antibacterial Toxin in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Pseudomonas aeruginosa has evolved multiple strategies to disarm and take advantage of its host.For this purpose, this opportunist pathogen has particularly developed protein secretion in the surrounding medium or injection into host cells.Among this, the type VI secretion system (T6SS) is utilized to deliver effectors PROMASIL NATURAL VANILLA into
