Journal ArticleDOI
σB and SarA independently regulate polysaccharide intercellular adhesin production in Staphylococcus epidermidis
Luke D. Handke,Shawn R. Slater,Kevin M. Conlon,Sinead T. O'Donnell,Michael E. Olson,Kendall A. Bryant,Mark E. Rupp,James P. O'Gara,Paul D. Fey +8 more
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that PIA production could be restored in both 1457 sigB and 1457 sarA by complementing these mutants with a full-length icaADBC operon controlled by a cadmium-inducible noncognate promoter.
Journal ArticleDOI
KPC-4 Is Encoded within a Truncated Tn4401 in an IncL/M Plasmid, pNE1280, Isolated from Enterobacter cloacae and Serratia marcescens
Kendall A. Bryant,Trevor C. Van Schooneveld,Ishwor Thapa,Dhundy R. Bastola,Laurina O. Williams,Thomas J. Safranek,Steven H. Hinrichs,Mark E. Rupp,Paul D. Fey +8 more
TL;DR: DNA sequencing revealed that blaKPC-4 was encoded on an IncL/M plasmid, pNE1280, closely related to pCTX-M360, which was found to be a novel Tn4401 element containing a truncated tnpA and lacking tnpR, ISKpn7 left, and Tn 4401 IRL-1, which are conserved in other Tn3401 transposons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of Whole-Genome Mapping in a Well-Defined Outbreak of Salmonella enterica Serotype Saintpaul
Paul D. Fey,Peter C. Iwen,Emily B. Zentz,Adam Briska,John K. Henkhaus,Kendall A. Bryant,Marilynn A. Larson,Rhonda K. Noel,Steven H. Hinrichs +8 more
TL;DR: Whole-genome mapping is a viable alternative tool for the epidemiological analysis of Salmonella food-borne disease investigations and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was concordant with 22 of 23 isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Susceptibility of enterococci to daptomycin is dependent upon testing methodology.
Kendall A. Bryant,Amity L. Roberts,Mark E. Rupp,James R. Anderson,Elizabeth Lyden,Paul D. Fey,Trevor C. Van Schooneveld +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that MicroScan methods overestimate nonsusceptible enterococci prevalence, and the lack of correlation between methods raises questions regarding which method is most effective at confirming nonsUSceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic analysis of the Staphylococcus epidermidis Macromolecular Synthesis Operon: Serp1129 is an ATP binding protein and sigA transcription is regulated by both σA- and σB-dependent promoters
TL;DR: The transcriptional regulation of sigA by ρB provides evidence that the staphylococcal σB-dependent response is controlled at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional level and supports the need for further investigation of its role in bacterial growth.
