  1. Evolution of host adaptation [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Many bacterial pathogens are specialized, infecting one or few hosts, and this is often associated with more acute disease presentation. Specific genomes show markers of this specialization, which often reflect a balance between gene acquisition and functional gene loss. Within Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica, a single lineage exists that includes...

  2. Reconstructing pathogen evolution from the ruins [Microbiology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • Advances in high-throughput sequencing have made genomic comparison an increasingly powerful tool for understanding pathogen evolution. From these analyses, elevated genome degradation has surfaced as a common trait among pathogens with a specialized lifestyle. Prime examples of this trend can be found within the species Salmonella enterica, wherein genomes of...

  3. Shiga Toxin 2-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Is Minimized by Activated Protein C but Does Not Correlatewith Lethal Kidney Injury

    • Toxins

    • Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli produce ribotoxic Shiga toxins (Stx), which are responsible for kidney injury and development of hemolytic uremic syndrome. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response is hypothesized to induce apoptosis contributing to organ injury; however, this process has been described only in vitro.
