A plasmid-encoded T3SS underlies the virulence of enteropathogenic Providencia alcalifaciens strains isolated from a large foodborne outbreak in Japan

ABSTRACT Providencia alcalifaciens is a gut commensal bacterium and also an emerging enteric pathogen associated with sporadic infections and outbreak cases in humans. The most notable outbreak caused by this bacterium occurred in 1996 in Fukui Prefecture, Japan, affecting 270 individuals. However, the pathogenic mecha...

Genomic characterization of a hypervirulent Aeromonas veronii NN0115 from Nile tilapia and head kidney transcriptome of infected fish reveals B-cell-dominated immune response with specific immunoglobulin downregulation.

This study provides a comprehensive characterization of a highly virulent A. veronii from Nile tilapia and reveals that selective downregulation of B-cell Ig genes is the dominant transcriptional feature of the host head kidney response.

Genomic divergence and phenotypic heterogeneity of Legionella longbeachae reveal a putative novel proinflammatory serogroup with genome reduction and mobilome expansion

An open pan-genomic and functional analysis of 242 L. longbeachae isolates reveals an open pan-genome driven by extensive horizontal gene transfer and marked functional divergence between core and accessory genomes, revealing a distinct pathogenic profile in sg3 that differs from the canonical serogroups, characterized...
