Gao,George F. Gao,Jasper Fuk-Woo Chan,Kwok-Yung Yuen +22 more
TL;DR: The capacity of GRP78 to facilitate surface attachment of both a human coronav virus and a phylogenetically related bat coronavirus exemplifies the need for continuous surveillance of the evolution of animal coronaviruses to monitor their potential for human adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carcinoembryonic Antigen-Related Cell Adhesion Molecule 5 Is an Important Surface Attachment Factor That Facilitates Entry of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the virus overlay protein binding assay (VOPBA) to identify carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5) as a novel cell surface binding target of MERS-CoV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete Genome Sequence of Staphylococcus lugdunensis Strain HKU09-01
TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of this medically important bacterium, which is a significant cause of catheter-related bacteremia and also causes serious infections in previously healthy individuals, is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete Genome Sequence of the Veterinary Pathogen Staphylococcus pseudintermedius Strain HKU10-03, Isolated in a Case of Canine Pyoderma
Herman Tse,Hoi Wah Tsoi,Sze Pui Leung,Ian James Urquhart,Susanna K. P. Lau,Patrick C. Y. Woo,Kwok-Yung Yuen +6 more
TL;DR: The first genome sequence of S. pseudintermedius is reported, which shows the presence of numerous virulence factors akin to those of the related human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus.
GENOME ANNOUNCEMENTS Complete Genome Sequence of the Veterinary Pathogen Staphylococcus pseudintermedius Strain HKU10-03, Isolated in a Case of Canine Pyoderma
Herman Tse,Hoi Wah Tsoi,Sze Pui Leung,Ian James Urquhart,Susanna K. P. Lau,Patrick C. Y. Woo,Kwok-Yung Yuen +6 more
TL;DR: ABI 3730xl sequencer (Applied Biosystems, California), simi-lar to the strategy employed for our previously sequenced strain HKU10-03 as discussed by the authors.
