  5. Contaminated Stream Water as Source for Escherichia coli O157 Illness in Children

    • Emerging Infectious Diseases

    • In May 2016, an outbreak of Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O157 infections occurred among children who had played in a stream flowing through a park. Analysis of E. coli isolates from the patients, stream water, and deer and coyote scat showed that feces from deer were the most likely source of contamination.

  23. The Response to 2-Aminoacrylate Differs in E. coli and S. enterica, Despite Shared Metabolic Components

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The metabolic network of an organism includes the sum total of the biochemical reactions present. In microbes, this network has an impeccable ability to sense and respond to perturbations caused by internal or external stimuli. The metabolic potential (i.e, network structure) of an organism is often drawn from the genome sequence, based on the presence of enzymes deemed to indicate specific pathways.

  24. Phase variable changes in the position of O-methyl phosphoramidate modifications on the polysaccharide capsule of Campylobacter jejuni modulate serum resistance

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Campylobacter jejuni polysaccharide capsules (CPSs) are characterized by the presence of non-stoichiometric O-methyl phosphoramidate (MeOPN) modifications. The lack of stoichiometry is due to phase variation at homopolymeric tracts within the MeOPN transferase genes. C. jejuni strain 81-176 contains two MeOPN transferase genes and has been shown previously to contain MeOPN modifications on the 2- and 6-positions of the galactose (Gal) moiety in the CPS.

  25. The glucose-specific enzyme IIA of the phosphoenolpyruvate: carbohydrate phosphotransferase system modulates chitin signaling pathways in Vibrio cholerae

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • In Vibrio cholerae, the genes required for chitin utilization and natural competence, are governed by the chitin-responsive two-component system (TCS) sensor kinase ChiS. In the classical TCS paradigm, a sensor kinase specifically phosphorylates a cognate response regulator to activate gene expression.
