We aim to better understand the molecular mechanisms of infectious disease and identify potential therapeutic and diagnostic targets by exploiting next-generation genomic data. A major focus is the co
Virulence-relevant KOs Database allows the prediction of bacterial virulence factor genes from 16S-based metagenomics using Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved St
CAB2 mutant derived from the clinical isolate RimD2210633. CAB2 lacks TDH hemolysins and its T3SS1 is not functional by means of deletion of exsA, a gene encoding the T3SS1 transcription regulator.
The strain Lactococcus garvieae UNIUD074 is being sequenced in order to expand our knowledge of this bacterial pathogen and of its virulence-related factors.
