Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence in the Legionella pneumophila genome for exploitation of host cell functions and high genome plasticity.

TL;DR: The genome reflects the history and lifestyle of L. pneumophila, a human pathogen of macrophages that coevolved with fresh-water amoebae, and encode eukaryotic-like proteins or motifs that are predicted to modulate host cell functions to the pathogen's advantage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multilocus Sequence Typing System for Group B Streptococcus

TL;DR: The GBS MLST system offers investigators a valuable typing tool that will promote further investigation of the population biology of this organism and suggests that recombination occurs at the capsular locus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae, a pathogen causing invasive neonatal disease.

TL;DR: Compared with other pathogenic streptococci, S. agalactiae shows the unique feature that pathogenicity islands may have an important role in virulence acquisition and in genetic diversity.
