Journal ArticleDOI
Aspects of the natural history and virulence of S. agalactiae infection in Nile tilapia.
Glaucia F. Mian,D.T. Godoy,Carlos Augusto Gomes Leal,T.Y. Yuhara,Geraldo Márcio da Costa,Henrique César Pereira Figueiredo +5 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, S. agalactiae, a major pathogen of Nile tilapia in Brazil, exhibited high virulence, regardless of the geographic origin of the isolated strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotyping of Streptococcus agalactiae strains isolated from fish, human and cattle and their virulence potential in Nile tilapia.
Ulisses de Pádua Pereira,Glaucia F. Mian,I.C.M. Oliveira,L.C. Benchetrit,Geraldo Márcio da Costa,Henrique César Pereira Figueiredo +5 more
TL;DR: The analyzed strains from the three natural hosts did not show genetic relatedness, yet some of the bovine and human strains were able to infect fish and cause meningoencephalitis, suggesting that genetic linkage is not a prerequisite for S. agalactiae to cross the host-specific barrier.
Journal ArticleDOI
GIPSy: Genomic island prediction software
Siomar de Castro Soares,Hakan Geyik,Hakan Geyik,Rommel Thiago Jucá Ramos,Pablo H. C. G. de Sá,Eudes Barbosa,Jan Baumbach,Henrique César Pereira Figueiredo,Anderson Miyoshi,Andreas Tauch,Artur Silva,Vasco Azevedo +11 more
TL;DR: GIPSy is the first life-style-specific genomic island prediction software to perform analyses of PAIs, MIs, RIs and SIs, opening a door for a better understanding of bacterial genome plasticity and the adaptation to new traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of strains of Flavobacterium columnare from Brazil.
Henrique César Pereira Figueiredo,Phillip H. Klesius,Covadonga R. Arias,Joyce J. Evans,Craig A. Shoemaker,D J Pereira,M T D Peixoto +6 more
TL;DR: This is the first report of characterization of Brazilian strains of F. columnare, an important pathogen of freshwater fish implicated in skin and gill disease, often causing high mortality, in Nile tilapia and channel catfish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insight of Genus Corynebacterium: Ascertaining the Role of Pathogenic and Non-pathogenic Species
Alberto Oliveira,Letícia de Castro Oliveira,Flávia Figueira Aburjaile,Leandro de Jesus Benevides,Sandeep Tiwari,Syed Babar Jamal,Arthur Silva,Henrique César Pereira Figueiredo,Preetam Ghosh,Ricardo Wagner Portela,Vasco Azevedo,Alice R. Wattam +11 more
TL;DR: This review gathers recent information about genomic and transcriptomic studies in the Corynebacterium genus, exploring, for example, prediction of pathogenicity islands and stress response in different pathogenic and non-pathogenic species.
