Comparative analysis of the Streptococcus pneumoniae competence development in vitro versus in vivo during pneumonia-derived sepsis by Sook Yin Chong, Shi Qian Lew, Tauqeer Alam, Christopher A. Gaulke, Gee W. Lau

“…IntroductionThe Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) competence regulon is well-known for regulating genetic transformation but is also important for virulence. Some pneumococcal strains can enter a transient competent state for genetic transformation in an optimized competence-inducing medium when the threshold level of the peptide pheromone competence stimulating peptide is attained; upregulating the expression of three distinct phases of “early”, “late” and “delayed” competence genes. …”

Pathogenicity and Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of a Pseudorabies Virus Strain FJ-2012 Isolated from Fujian, Southern China by Xue-min Wu, Qiu-yong Chen, Ru-jing Chen, Yong-liang Che, Long-bai Wang, Chen-yan Wang, Shan Yan, Yu-tao Liu, Jin-sheng Xiu, Lun-jiang Zhou

“…In addition, we identified typical micropathological changes such as multiple gross lesions in infected piglets through pathological analysis and conclude that the FJ-2012 genome is significantly different from known pseudorabies viruses, in which insertions, deletions, and substitutions are observed in multiple immune and virulence genes. In summary, this study shed lights on the molecular basis of the prevalence and pathology of the pseudorabies virus strain FJ-2012. …”
