Comparative genomics reveals diverse capsular polysaccharide synthesis gene clusters in emerging Raoultella planticola

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 113 (10), 2018
Raoultella planticola is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that is associated with rare but life-threatening cases of bacteremia, biliary tract infections, and urinary tract infections. Moreover, increasing antimicrobial resistance in the organism poses a potential threat to public health. In spite of its im...

Yield and rheological properties of exopolysaccharide from a local isolate: Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate gum productivity of a local strain, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. vesicatoria, isolated from pepper plant, and its rheological behavior for the first time compared to the standard strain, Xanthomonas campestris DSM 19000 (NRRL B-1459). The influence o...
