Wave upon wave of disease The cholera pathogen, Vibrio cholerae , is considered to be ubiquitous in water systems, making the design eradication measures apparently fruitless. Nevertheless, local and global populations remain distinct. Now, Weill et al. Domman show that a surprising diversity between continents has been established. Latin America Africa bear different variants toxin with transmission dynamics ecological niches. data are not consistent establishment long-term reservoirs...

The PeroxiBase (http://peroxibase.toulouse.inra.fr/) is a specialized database devoted to peroxidases' families, which are major actors of stress responses. In addition the increasing number sequences and complete modification Web interface, new analysis tools functionalities have been developed since previous publication in NAR issue. Nucleotide graphical representation gene structure can now be included for entries containing genomic cross-references. An expert semi-automatic annotation...

On 18 January 2016, the French National Reference Centre for Salmonella reported to Santé publique France an excess of enterica serotype Dublin (S. Dublin) infections. We investigated identify source infection and implement control measures. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) multilocus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) were performed microbiological clusters links among cases, animal food sources. Clusters defined as isolates with less than 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms...

Plant organisms contain a large number of genes belonging to numerous multigenic families whose evolution size reflects some functional constraints. Sequences from eight families, involved in biotic and abiotic responses, have been analyzed Eucalyptus grandis compared with Arabidopsis thaliana. Two transcription factor APETALA 2 (AP2)/ethylene responsive GRAS, two auxin transporter PIN-FORMED AUX/LAX, oxidoreductase (ascorbate peroxidases [APx] Class III [CIII Prx]), protective molecules...

Background Enteric fever remains a major public health problem in low resource settings and antibiotic resistance is increasing. In Asia, an increasing proportion of infections caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Paratyphi A, which for long time was assumed to cause milder clinical syndrome compared Typhi. Methodology A retrospective chart review study conducted 254 unique cases blood culture confirmed enteric who presented at referral adult hospital Phnom Penh, Cambodia between 2008 2015....

In 2013, an unusual increase in the number of Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi A (Salmonella A) infections was reported patients Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and European, American Japanese travellers returning from Cambodia. Epidemiological investigations did not identify a common source exposure. To analyse population structure genetic diversity these isolates, we used whole-genome sequencing on 65 isolates collected 1999 to 2014: 55 acquired Cambodia 10 other countries Asia, Africa Europe....

Abstract Summary: GECA is a fast, user-friendly and freely-available tool for representing gene exon/intron organization highlighting changes in structure among members of family. It relies on protein alignment, completed with the identification common introns corresponding genes using CIWOG. produces main graphical representation showing resulting aligned set structures, where exons are to scale. The important original feature that it combines these structures symbolic display sequence...

Abstract Ligninolytic peroxidases are microbial enzymes involved in depolymerisation of lignin, a plant cell wall polymer found land plants. Among fungi, only Dikarya were to degrade lignin. The increase available fungal genomes allows performing an expert annotation lignin-degrading peroxidase encoding sequences with particular focus on Class II (CII Prx). In addition the previously described LiP, MnP and VP classes, based sequence similarity, six new sub-classes have been defined: three...
