Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of open reading frames of plasticity region of strain J99 in Helicobacter pylori strains isolated from gastric carcinoma and gastritis patients in Costa Rica.
Alessandra Occhialini,Armelle Marais,Richard A. Alm,Fernando García,Rafaela Sierra,Francis Mégraud +5 more
TL;DR: The results show that the plasticity region, rather than being considered a pathogenicity island per se, should be considered a genomic island, which represents a large fragment of foreign DNA integrated into the genome and not necessarily implicated in the pathogenic capacity of the strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection for transport competence of C-terminal polypeptides derived from Escherichia coli hemolysin: the shortest peptide capable of autonomous HIyB/HIyD-dependent secretion comprises the C-terminal 62 amino acids of HlyA
TL;DR: It was found that the hemolysin secretion system has no apparent size limitation for HlyA proteins over a range from 1024 to 62 amino acids, which suggests that secretion of the E.coli hemoly sin is strictly post-translational.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the in vivo activation of hemolysin (HlyA) from Escherichia coli.
Albrecht Ludwig,Fernando García,Susanne Bauer,Thomas Jarchau,Roland Benz,J Hoppe,Werner Goebel +6 more
TL;DR: The pore-forming activities of pro-HlyA and singly modified HlyA mutants in planar lipid bilayer membranes suggested that the activation is not essential for transmembrane pore formation but rather required for efficient binding of the toxin to target membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of oxylipins with antifungal activity by LC-MS/MS from the supernatant of Pseudomonas 42A2.
TL;DR: LC-MS/MS has been used to elucidate the structure of the components form the organic extract and antimicrobial activity against several pathogenic fungal strains is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lettuce for Human Consumption Collected in Costa Rica Contains Complex Communities of Culturable Oxytetracycline- and Gentamicin-Resistant Bacteria
TL;DR: This work deals with the examination of iceberg lettuce collected at 10 farms from two regions in Costa Rica, finding that both types of resistant communities accounted for a significant fraction of all culturable bacteria and included several resistance genes as well as factors for their potential horizontal transfer.
