Basal stem rot (BSR) is a fungal disease in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) which caused by hemibiotrophic white fungi belonging to the Ganoderma genus. Molecular responses of these pathogens are not well known although this information crucial strategize effective measures eradicate BSR. In order elucidate molecular interactions between and G. boninense its biocontrol fungus Trichoderma harzianum, we compared root transcriptomes untreated seedlings with those inoculated T....
Brucellosis is an important zoonotic disease that affects both humans and animals. We sequenced the full genome characterised genetic diversity of two Brucella melitensis isolates from Malaysia Philippines. In addition, we performed a comparative whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis B. strains collected around world, to investigate potential origin history global spread melitensis.Single sequencing runs each resulted in draft sequences MY1483/09 Phil1136/12, which...
Burkholderia cenocepacia infection often leads to fatal cepacia syndrome in cystic fibrosis patients. However, antibiotic therapy rarely results complete eradication of the pathogen due its intrinsic resistance many clinically available antibiotics. Recent attention has turned identification essential genes as proteins encoded by these may serve potential targets for development novel antimicrobials. In this study, we utilized TraDIS (Transposon Directed Insertion-site Sequencing) a...
Corynespora cassiicola is a common plant pathogen that causes leaf spot disease in broad range of crop, and it heavily affect rubber trees Malaysia (Hsueh, 2011; Nghia et al., 2008). The isolation UM 591 from patient’s contact lens indicates the pathogenic potential this dematiaceous fungus human. However, underlying factors contribute to opportunistic cross-infection have not been fully studied. We employed genome sequencing gene homology annotations attempt identify these using data...
The outbreak of extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) has become an increasing problem in many TB-burdened countries. underlying drug resistance mechanisms, including the genetic variation favored by selective pressure resistant population, are partially understood. Recently, first case XDR-TB was reported Malaysia. However, detailed genotype family and mechanisms formation multiple drugs unknown. We sequenced whole genome UM 1072388579 strain with a 2-kb insert-size library...
Cladophialophora bantiana is a dematiaceous fungus with predilection for causing central nervous system (CNS) infection manifesting as brain abscess in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. In this paper, we report comprehensive genomic analyses of C. isolated from the an man, first reported case Malaysia Southeast Asia. The identity was determined using combined morphological analysis multilocus phylogeny. draft genome sequence neurotrophic fungus, UM 956 generated Illumina...
Although more than 100 genome sequences of Pasteurella multocida are available, comprehensive and complete sequence analysis is limited. This study describes the pathogenomics P. strain PMTB2.1. The PMTB2.1 has 2176 genes with 40 coding associated iron regulation 140 virulence including tad locus. locus includes several previously uncharacterized such as flp2, rcpC tadV genes. A transposable phage resembling to Mu phages was identified in that not been any other serotype yet. multi-locus...
Ochroconis constricta is a soilborne dematiaceous fungus that has never been reported to be associated with human infection. Here we report the first draft genome sequence of strain UM 578, isolated from skin scraping. The genomic information revealed will contribute better understanding this species.
Foliar and stem proteins from 21 resistant susceptible sugar pine seedlings inoculated with Cronartium ribicola were resolved on SDS-PAGE two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The protein profiles of pooled individual samples analyzed. analysis showed the presence a 19-kDa band in infected foliage. Partial N-terminal amino acid sequence revealed that this was mixture histone Cro r I protein. fungus- derived, while origin not clear. Utilizing fungal-specific monoclonal antibodies, we...
ABSTRACT Pasteurella multocida causes pneumonic pasteurellosis and hemorrhagic septicemia (HS) in large ruminants. In this study, we determined the complete genome sequence of P. strain PMTB2.1 capsular serotype A isolated from buffaloes that died septicemia.
Introduction: Currently available tests have limitations for the identification of Brucella species and strains, their genetic lineage. The genome sequence rpoB gene encoding β-subunit DNA-dependent RNA polymerase was investigated its use in genotyping melitensis.
 Methodology: Complete sequences globally distributed melitensis strains were analyzed. Single nucleotides polymorphisms (SNPs) identified used to type strains.
 Results: Six DNA identified, which two (nucleotides 3201...
Plant defensins are plant defence peptides that have many different biological activities, including antifungal, antimicrobial, and insecticidal activities. A cDNA (EgDFS) encoding defensin was isolated from Elaeis guineensis. The open reading frame of EgDFS contained 231 nucleotides a 71-amino acid protein with predicted molecular weight at 8.69 kDa, potential signal peptide. eight highly conserved cysteine sites in were also EgDFS. sequence lacking 30 amino residues its N-terminus (EgDFSm)...
Abstract Background: Neoscytalidium dimidiatum and Bipolaris species are fungal plant pathogens that have been reported to cause human diseases. Recently, we isolated numerous N. from the skin scrapings nails of different patients. In this work, sequenced genome one strain . The was compared a previously papendorfii for better understanding their complex lifestyle broad host-range pathogenicity. Results: Their 33-43 Mb genomes include 11,015-12,320 putative coding DNA sequences, which...
