Pyoverdine, the Major Siderophore in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Evades NGAL Recognition by Mary E. Peek, Abhinav Bhatnagar, Nael A. McCarty, Susu M. Zughaier

“…Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common pathogen that persists in the cystic fibrosis lungs. Bacteria such as P. aeruginosa secrete siderophores (iron-chelating molecules) and the host limits bacterial growth by producing neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) that specifically scavenges bacterial siderophores, therefore preventing bacteria from establishing infection. …”

Phylogeny of Flavobacteria Group Isolated from Freshwater Using Multilocus Sequencing Analysis by Seyoung Mun, Jungnam Lee, Siwon Lee, Kyudong Han, Tae-Young Ahn

“…However, we have been unable to clearly identify five Flavobacterium species isolated from a freshwater by using the gene as a single marker, because the evolutionary history is incomplete and the pace of DNA substitutions is relatively rapid in the bacteria. In this study, we tried to classify Flavobacterium species through multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), which is a practical and reliable technique for the identification or classification of bacteria. …”
