The genus comprises species that cause nosocomial and community-acquired infections. A dataset was created to compile the sequence type (ST) and capsule type (K-locus) information predicted for 172 worldwide isolates of spp. whose complete genomes could be retrieved from the GenBank (NCBI) repository. The dataset also includes information related to one multidrug-resistant strain (B31) isolated from a patient who was admitted to an intensive care unit in the Northeast region of Brazil. This strain was phenotypically characterized and submitted to whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomics analysis as we recently reported [1]. The dataset also compiles information on Pathogenicity Islands (PIs), Resistance Islands (RIs) and Miscellaneous Islands (MIS) present in the genome of strain B31. The information provided here may support outbreak prevention policies and future epidemiological studies involving spp.

Lyme disease (LD), caused by (), is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States. Methods to control the transmission of to humans via ticks are critical for prevention and elimination of LD. Previously, we showed that deletion of Borrelia hostadaptation Regulator ( mutant) and replacement of 8 conserved residues in Carbon Storage Regulator A of (CsrA, 8S mutant) resulted in upregulation of several lipoproteins due to increased levels of RpoS.

Lyme disease (LD), caused by infection with the tick-borne bacteria, , is associated with a wide array of symptoms in human patients. Variations in clinical manifestations are thought to be influenced by genetic differences among strains. In this study, we evaluated the infectivity, tissue bacterial load, pathology, and immunogenicity of five strains of sensu stricto (297 Ah130, Bb16-54, B31-A3, Bb16-126, JD1) in female C3H/HeN mice at three infectious doses (10, 10, 10 spirochetes).

Lyme borreliosis (LB), caused by sensu lato, is one of the most common tick-borne diseases in the northern hemisphere. Given its increasing global incidence, LB remains a major public health concern and the development of an effective vaccine is recognized as a key component of the overall disease prevention strategy. Here, we present results obtained with newly developed lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA vaccine candidates encoding the outer surface protein A (OspA) of sensu stricto (Bbss) serotype 1 (mRNA-OspA) with or without a secretion signal (SS) or a transmembrane domain.

The biocontrol efficacy of probiotics Bacillus velezensis B31 against fusarium wilt is contingent upon its successful colonization in the plant rhizosphere. This study aimed to develop a quantitative detection method for probiotics strain B31 and to monitor its rhizosphere dynamics. Utilizing comparative genomics, a specific gene in strain B31 was identified, which facilitated the design of precise primers and a Taqman probe.

The quadriceps muscles are a large group of 4 muscles in the anterior compartment of the thigh, comprising the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and vastus lateralis, which in combination act as the primary extensors of the knee joint. The rectus femoris is also responsible for hip joint flexion. Quadriceps muscle injuries are frequently encountered in sports and athletic activities and present a significant challenge in the realm of sports medicine, impacting athletes across various disciplines and levels of competition.
