Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic sequencing reveals regulatory mutations and recombinational events in the widely used MC4100 lineage of Escherichia coli K-12.
Thomas Ferenci,Zhemin Zhou,Thu Betteridge,Yan Ren,Yu Liu,Lu Feng,Lu Feng,Peter R. Reeves,Lei Wang,Lei Wang +9 more
TL;DR: The genome of an Escherichia coli MC4100 strain with a lambda placMu50 fusion revealed numerous regulatory differences from MG1655, including one that arose during laboratory storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multiplex PCR method to detect 14 Escherichia coli serogroups associated with urinary tract infections
TL;DR: The multiplex PCR method developed herein can be used for the detection of relevant E. coli strains from clinical and/or environmental samples, and it is particularly useful for epidemiologic analysis of urine specimens from patients with UTIs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the Fucose Synthetase Gene in the Colanic Acid Gene Cluster of Escherichia coli K-12
TL;DR: The identification of the gene (fcl), located downstream of gmd, encoding the fucose synthetase is reported, which is a component of bacterial surface antigens produced by most Escherichia coli strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Divergence involving global regulatory gene mutations in an Escherichia coli population evolving under phosphate limitation.
Lei Wang,Lei Wang,Beny Spira,Beny Spira,Zhemin Zhou,Lu Feng,Lu Feng,Ram P. Maharjan,Xiaomin Li,Fangfang Li,Christopher McKenzie,Peter R. Reeves,Thomas Ferenci +12 more
TL;DR: The observations suggest that the degeneracy at the core of bacterial stress regulation provides alternative solutions to a common evolutionary challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of O-antigen gene clusters of Escherichia coli (Shigella) sonnei and Plesiomonas shigelloides O17: sonnei gained its current plasmid-borne O-antigen genes from P. shigelloides in a recent event.
TL;DR: Escherichia coli Sonnei has an O antigen identical to that of Plesiomonas shigelloides O17, and its O-antigen gene cluster is located on a plasmid, and it is shown thatSonnei gained its O.antigen genes recently.
