TLDR
The presence of pathways and loci associated often with non-host-associated organisms, as well as genes associated with virulence, suggests that A. butzleri is a free-living, water-borne organism that might be classified rightfully as an emerging pathogen.Abstract:
Background
Arcobacter butzleri is a member of the epsilon subdivision of the Proteobacteria and a close taxonomic relative of established pathogens, such as Campylobacter jejuni and Helicobacter pylori. Here we present the complete genome sequence of the human clinical isolate, A. butzleri strain RM4018.read more

Genomic islands: tools of bacterial horizontal gene transfer and evolution.
Mario Juhas,Jan Roelof van der Meer,Muriel Gaillard,Rosalind M. Harding,Derek W. Hood,Derrick W. Crook +5 more
TL;DR: Genomic islands play a crucial role in the evolution of a broad spectrum of bacteria as they are involved in the dissemination of variable genes, including antibiotic resistance and virulence genes leading to generation of hospital ‘superbugs’, as well as catabolic genes lead to formation of new metabolic pathways.

Taxonomy, Epidemiology, and Clinical Relevance of the Genus Arcobacter
Luis Collado,Maria José Figueras +1 more
TL;DR: The genus Arcobacter has become increasingly important because its members are being considered emergent enteropathogens and/or potential zoonotic agents as well as on their virulence potential and implication in human and animal diseases.

Bacterial diversity and White Plague Disease-associated community changes in the Caribbean coral Montastraea faveolata.
Shinichi Sunagawa,Todd Z. DeSantis,Yvette M. Piceno,Eoin L. Brodie,Michael K. DeSalvo,Christian R. Voolstra,Ernesto Weil,Gary L. Andersen,Mónica Medina +8 more
TL;DR: An increase in diversity as well as a significant shift in community structure is determined in Montastraea faveolata colonies displaying phenotypic signs of White Plague Disease type II (WPD-II), and the possibility that a disease of yet to be determined etiology may have affected M. favelata colonies and resulted in an increase in opportunistic pathogens is discussed.

Peptidoglycan Crosslinking Relaxation Promotes Helicobacter pylori's Helical Shape and Stomach Colonization
Laura K. Sycuro,Zachary Pincus,Kimberley D. Gutierrez,Jacob Biboy,Chelsea A. Stern,Chelsea A. Stern,Waldemar Vollmer,Nina R. Salama,Nina R. Salama +8 more
TL;DR: These findings suggest that the coordinated action of multiple proteins relaxes peptidoglycan crosslinking, enabling helical cell curvature and twist, required for robust colonization of the stomach in spite of normal directional motility.
AUTHOR'S CORRECTION Unique Features of a Highly Pathogenic Campylobacter jejuni Strain

TL;DR: A number of unique genetic features which may confer specific metabolic and pathogenic properties on this strain are identified and regions of the C. jejuni genome that are hot spots for the integration of horizontally acquired genetic material are identified.

Base-calling of automated sequencer traces using Phred. I. accuracy assessment
TL;DR: In this article, a base-calling program for automated sequencer traces, phred, with improved accuracy was proposed. But it was not shown to achieve a lower error rate than the ABI software, averaging 40%-50% fewer errors in the data sets examined independent of position in read, machine running conditions, or sequencing chemistry.

TL;DR: Sequence analysis indicates that H. pylori has well-developed systems for motility, for scavenging iron, and for DNA restriction and modification, and consistent with its restricted niche, it has a few regulatory networks, and a limited metabolic repertoire and biosynthetic capacity.
