Journal ArticleDOI
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis: microbiology, biochemical properties, pathogenesis and molecular studies of virulence
TL;DR: The current molecular strategies for the study of virulence in C. pseudotuberculosis are examined, including the latest research on the identification of novel virulence factors and genes, which will help to better understand the biology of this microorganism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiplex PCR assay for identification of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis from pure cultures and for rapid detection of this pathogen in clinical samples

TL;DR: The developed assay significantly improves rapid C. pseudotuberculosis detection and could supersede bacteriological culture for microbiological and epidemiological diagnosis of CLA.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: These particular genome characteristics of C. pseudotuberculosis, as well as its acquired virulence factors in pathogenicity islands, provide evidence of its lifestyle and of the pathogenic pathways used by this pathogen in the infection process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial reference genes for gene expression studies by RT-qPCR: survey and analysis
TL;DR: This work searched the recent literature in order to identify the bacterial reference genes that have been most commonly validated in gene expression studies by RT-qPCR (in the first 5 years following publication of the MIQE guidelines).
Journal ArticleDOI
