TL;DR: The genus Xanthomonas is a diverse and economically important group of bacterial phytopathogens, belonging to the γ-subdivision of the Proteobacteria, and several groups of strain-specific genes are identified and proposed mechanisms that may explain the differing host specificities and pathogenic processes are proposed.

TL;DR: This study identified novel T. rubrum genes that will be useful for ORF prediction in genome sequencing and facilitating functional genome analysis and challenging T.rubrum with cytotoxic drugs and ambient pH shifts extended the understanding of the molecular events possibly involved in the infectious process and resistance to antifungal drugs.

TL;DR: In this paper, suppressive subtractive hybridization was used to isolate transcripts specifically upregulated during Trichophyton rubrum exposure to acriflavin, fluconazole, griseofulvin, terbinafine or undecanoic acid.

TL;DR: Filamentous fungi isolated from soil samples were screened for extracellular lipase production and the best producer was Hypocrea pseudokoningii identified by taxonomical criteria, and by rDNA sequencing of the variable internal transcribed spacers and the intervening 5.8S gene.

TL;DR: The ethnic influence makes it difficult to reach a consensual definition of host‐dependent genetic factors controlling the hepatitis C virus (HCV) disease course.
