MOLECULAR AND GENOMIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PSEUDOMONAS SYRINGAE PHYLOGROUP 4: AN EMERGING PATHOGEN OF ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA AND NICOTIANA BENTHAMIANA

Environmental fluctuations such as increased temperature, water availability, and air CO2 concentration triggered by climate change influence plant disease dynamics by affecting hosts, pathogens, and their interactions.Here, we describe a newly discovered Pseudomonas syringae strain found in a natural population of Arabidopsis thaliana collected fr

Enterococcus cecorum was initially isolated from the intestine of poultry and is an uncommon URATONIC TEA cause of human infection.We report here what we believe to be the first case of overwhelming post-splenectomy infection (OPSI) with purpura fulminans due to Enterococcus cecorum in a 51-year-old man.As opposed to other enterococci, Enterococcus

Pigs are important reservoirs of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC).The entrance of these strains into the food chain implies a risk to consumers because of the severity of hemolytic uremic syndrome.This study reports the prevalence and characterization of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) throughout the pork production chain
