    • Abstract

  7. BfpI, BfpJ, and BfpK minor pilins are important for the function and biogenesis of bundle-forming pili expressed by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) remain a significant cause of infant diarrheal illness and associated morbidity and mortality in developing countries. EPEC strains are characterized by their ability to colonize the small intestines of their hosts by a multi-step program involving initial loose attachment to intestinal epithelial cells followed by an intimate adhesion phase.

  8. Toxins, Vol. 8, Pages 5: Development of an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Method Specific for the Detection of G-Group Aflatoxins

    • Toxins

    • To detect and monitor G-group aflatoxins in agricultural products, we generated class-specific monoclonal antibodies that specifically recognized aflatoxins G1 and G2. Of the final three positive and stable hybridomas obtained, clone 2G6 produced a monoclonal antibody that had equal sensitivity to aflatoxins G1 and G2, and did not cross-react with aflatoxins B1, B2, or M1. Its IC50 values for aflatoxins G1 and G2 were 17.18 ng·mL−1 and 19.75 ng·mL−1, respectively.

  25. Salmonella enterica Infections in the United States and Assessment of Coefficients of Variation: A Novel Approach to Identify Epidemiologic Characteristics of Individual Serotypes, 1996–2011

    • PLOS ONE

    • Amy L. Boore, R. Michael Hoekstra, Martha Iwamoto, Patricia I. Fields, Richard D. Bishop, David L. Swerdlow

      Background

      Despite control efforts, salmonellosis continues to cause an estimated 1.2 million infections in the United States (US) annually. We describe the incidence of salmonellosis in the US and introduce a novel approach to examine the epidemiologic similarities and differences of individual serotypes.

      Methods

      • Salmonella
      • Bacterial pathogens
