Describe two structures of bacterial cells, what they look like, and their molecular structure. What's the difference between flagella, pili and fimbriae? Where may you find flagella on the surface of a bacterial cell? What cellular mechanisms do cells use to move? Describe the steps in...
Here, we analyze whole-genome sequencing and accompanying epidemiological data of 4572 IPD isolates obtained through the Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs)21,22. ABCs is an active, population- and laboratory-based surveillance system conducted in ten sites, representing ~34 million residents in ...
Results of recent bacterial, epidemiological, microarray-based and genomic studies suggest that a number of markers are enriched among hospital strains of E. faecium including collagen adhesion factors acm and scm [7, 8], other matrix-binding proteins and pili [9, 10], a supposed hyaluronidase,...
using Gateway LR reactions (Invitrogen). Y2H bait clones were subsequently transferred into the haploid yeast strain AH109 (MAT-α), as previously described [29]. Before the two-hybrid analyses, we examined all baits in yeast strains
To remove sequences with ability to bind to other sites than CD4 in the selection matrix, the library was in each round of the selection pre-exposed to beads lacking CD4, and furthermore, two types of beads were used during selection. The first six rounds were performed against biotinylated...
