Analysis of genetic diversity of 25 Coxiella burnetii isolates with relative to the Nine Mile (RSA493) reference isolate.
ORGANISM(S): Coxiella burnetii 
Profiling of genetically matched normal adjacent tissue, primary tumor and metastatic lymph-node to identify cancer and metastasis genes.
ORGANISM(S): Homo sapiens 
Comparison of gene expression between the virulent Rickettsia rickettsii R strain and avirulent Rickettsia rickettsii Iowa. Keywords: virulent vs avirulent Virulent Rickettsia rickettsii R strain in triplicate was compared to avirulent Rickettsia rickettsii Iowa in triplicate
ORGANISM(S): Rickettsia rickettsii 
Salmonella invasion of non-phagocytic cells is a dynamic process that requires the translocation of effector proteins into host cells by a type III secretion system (T3SS1) encoded on Salmonella pathogenicity island 1 (SPI1). The signals involved in T3SS1 induction in vivo are not known, but SPI1-in...
ORGANISM(S): Salmonella typhimurium SL1344 
The inability to propagate obligate intracellular pathogens under axenic (host cell-free) culture conditions imposes severe experimental constraints that have negatively impacted progress in understanding pathogen virulence and disease mechanisms. Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of human Q (Q...

A delay in the mammalian inflammatory response is a prominent feature of infection with Yersinia pestis, the agent of bubonic and pneumonic plague. Y. pestis factors have been identified that either do not stimulate a normal inflammatory response, or actively suppress it. Prominent among these are c...

Chlamydia trachomatis serovariants are responsible for either Trachoma, the leading cause of infectious blindness or sexually transmitted disease, wherein the endocervix is the most frequently infected site in women. Disease caused by Chlamydia typically involves chronic inflammation and scarring. ...

Resistance to amebiasis is associated with a polymorphism in the leptin receptor. Previous studies demonstrated that humans with the ancestral Q223 leptin receptor allele were nearly four times less likely to be infected with Entamoeba histolytica than those carrying the mutant R223 allele. We hypot...

C. trachomatis possess a cryptic 7.5 kb plasmid of unknown function. Here we describe a comprehensive molecular and biological characterization of the naturally occurring plasmidless human Chlamydia trachomatis strain L2 (25667R). We found that despite minimal chromosomal polymorphisms the LGV L2 ...

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) from patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) fail to produce microbicidal concentrations of reactive oxygen species due to mutations in NOX2. Patients with CGD suffer from severe, life-threatening infections and inflammatory complications. Granulibacter...
