TL;DR: It is proposed that the size and complexity of the P. aeruginosa genome reflect an evolutionary adaptation permitting it to thrive in diverse environments and resist the effects of a variety of antimicrobial substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcus aureus genetic loci impacting growth and survival in multiple infection environments
S. N. Coulter,W. R. Schwan,E. Y. W. Ng,M. H. Langhorne,H. D. Ritchie,S. Westbrock-Wadman,W. O. Hufnagle,K. R. Folger,Arnold S. Bayer,Charles K. Stover +9 more
TL;DR: Signature‐tag transposon mutagenesis screening of a 1520‐member library identified numerous S. aureus genetic loci affecting growth and survival in four complementary animal infection models, providing insight into the complexities of human infection and on the molecular mechanisms that could be targeted by new antibacterial therapies.
Journal Article
Novel phosphotransferase systems revealed by bacterial genome analysis: the complete repertoire of pts genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
TL;DR: All genes encoding constituents of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) in the 6Mbp genome of the opportunistic human pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa are described.
