Comparative genomics of the bacterial genus Listeria : Genome evolution is characterized by limited gene acquisition and limited gene loss

TL;DR: Limited gene loss in Listeria did include loss of virulence associated genes, likely associated with multiple transitions to a saprotrophic lifestyle, which will allow for the development of genetic and genomic criteria for pathogenic strains, including development of assays that specifically detect pathogenic Listersia strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative Analysis of Genome Sequences Covering the Seven Cronobacter Species

TL;DR: C. sakazakii is unique in the Cronobacter genus in encoding genes enabling the utilization of exogenous sialic acid which may have clinical significance, and also suggested various degrees of divergence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogels for osteochondral repair based on photocrosslinkable carbamate dendrimers.

TL;DR: Good mechanical properties, low swelling, good attachment to the defect site, and positive in vivo results illustrate the potential of these dendrimer-based hydrogels as scaffolds for osteochondral defect repair.
