Journal ArticleDOI

Galleria mellonella as an infection model: an in-depth look at why it works and practical considerations for successful application.

TL;DR: The larva of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella is an increasingly popular model for assessing the virulence of bacterial pathogens, and the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents, and an updated overview of the state of the art of research with G. mell onella- infection models is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

p518, a small floR plasmid from a South American isolate of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.

TL;DR: The smallest floR plasmid in the Pasteurellaceae has unique arrangement with complete strA, but partial strB and sul2 sequences, and is not transferrable by conjugation or natural transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serovar-dependent differences in Hfq-regulated phenotypes in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae

TL;DR: It is supported that Hfq is a pleiotropic global regulator in A. pleuropneumoniae, but serovar-related differences exist, and the results highlight the importance of testing multiple strains/serovars within a given species when determining contributions of global regulators, such as HfQ, to expression of complex phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Genomics of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Serotype 8 Reveals the Importance of Prophages in the Genetic Variability of the Species

TL;DR: Mobile genetic elements, such as prophages, are important components of the differential portion of the A. pleuropneumoniae genome and demonstrate a central role in the evolution of the species.
