GENOME SEQUENCE OF THE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC SERRATIA ENTOMOPHILA ISOLATE 626 AND CHARACTERISATION OF THE SPECIES SPECIFIC ITACONATE DEGRADATION PATHWAY

Genome sequence of the entomopathogenic Serratia entomophila isolate 626 and characterisation of the species specific itaconate degradation pathway

Abstract Background Isolates of Serratia entomophila and S.proteamaculans (Yersiniaceae) cause disease specific to the endemic New Zealand pasture pest, Costelytra giveni (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).Previous genomic profiling has shown that S.entomophila isolates appear to have conserved genomes and, where present, conserved plasmids.In the absence

Ureteral stump empyema with calculi

A 52-year-old man with a history of right nephrectomy for a nonfunctioning PASTE UP SPRAY kidney, consults after 22 years for fever with right lower abdominal pain.Surgical exploration was thereafter performed and the right ureteral stump was removed en bloc.Pathological examination of the right ureterectomy specimen revealed a significant acute an
