Phylogeny and strain typing of Escherichia coli, inferred from variation at mononucleotide repeat loci

Article Abstract:

The efficacy of mononucleotide repeats (MNR) in phylogentic studies and strain identification in Escherichia coli is examined. MNR loci facilitates in determining the phylogenetic relationships, provides higher sequence variation and can be used in diagnostics, epidemiology and evolutionary study of bacteria.

Adhesion of Vibrio cholerae to granular starches

Article Abstract:

Vibrio cholerae adheres to starch granules incorporated in oral rehydration solution (ORS). V. cholerae adhesion was compared with the adhesion of other pathogens suggesting the involvement of starch degradation capabilities and this adhesion to starch can be used to improve oral rehydration therapy (ORT).

Vibrio cholerae hemagglutinin/protease degrades chironomid egg masses

Article Abstract:

Research shows that the Vibrio cholerae factor responsible for the degradation of chironomid egg masses is a hemagglutinin/protease, which acts on the glycoprotein contained in the egg mass of the midge Chironomus sp that harbors and serves as a reservoir of V. cholerae.
