RNAIII-independent target gene control by the agr quorum-sensing system: insight into the evolution of virulence regulation in Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the Staphylococcus aureus agr quorum-sensing regulon is divided into control of metabolism and PSM cytolysin genes, which occurs independently of the small regulatory RNA RNAIII, and RNAIII-dependent control of additional virulence genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic transcriptional profiling of the developmental cycle of Chlamydia trachomatis.

TL;DR: One immediate early gene (CT147) is a homolog of the human early endosomal antigen-1 that is localized to the chlamydial phagosome; suggesting a functional role for CT147 in establishing the parasitophorous vacuole in a nonfusogenic pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary Genomics of Staphylococcus Aureus: Insights Into the Origin of Methicillin-Resistant Strains and the Toxic Shock Syndrome Epidemic

TL;DR: It is found that lateral gene transfer has played a fundamental role in the evolution of S. aureus, demonstrating that methicillin-resistant strains have evolved multiple independent times, rather than from a single ancestral strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome sequence and comparative microarray analysis of serotype M18 group A Streptococcus strains associated with acute rheumatic fever outbreaks

TL;DR: DNA microarray analysis of 36 serotype M18 strains from diverse localities showed that most regions of variation were phages or phage-like elements, which provides a critical foundation for accelerated research into ARF pathogenesis and a molecular framework to study the plasticity of GAS genomes.
