5. Escherichia coli encoding Shiga toxin 2f as an emerging human pathogen

   2009 - Escherichia coli harbouring the stx2f gene have been previously reported in pigeons. Here we demonstrate the presence of this allele in human diarrhoeagenic E. coli strains originally classified as …

6. Methicillin-resistant and -susceptible Staphylococcus aureus strains of clonal lineages ST398 and ST9 from swine carry the multidrug resistance gene cfr

   2009 - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clonal lineage ST398 and methicillin-susceptible lineage ST9 strains have their main reservoir in swine but can colonize and cause infections in humans. The …

7. Phospholipase PlaB of Legionella pneumophila represents a novel lipase family: protein residues essential for lipolytic activity, substrate specificity, and hemolysis

   2009 - Legionella pneumophila possesses several phospholipases capable for host-cell manipulation and lung damage. Recently, we discovered the major cell-associated hemolytic phospholipase A PlaB sharing no …

8. A novel large-scale approach for identification of Legionella pneumophila mutants defective for amoeba infection uncovers the bdhA/patD operon as a virulence determinant

   2009 - Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, is an intracellular parasite of eukaryotic cells. In the environment, it colonizes amoebae. After inhaled into the human lung, the …
