Analysis of the Zinc Finger Domain of TnpA, a DNA Targeting Protein Encoded by Mobilizable Transposon Tn4555
(East Carolina University, 2007-07)The mobilizable transposon Tn4555, found in Bacteroides spp., is an important antibiotic resistance element encoding a broad spectrum beta-lactamase. Tn4555 is mobilized by conjugative transposons such as CTn341 which can ... -
Genetic and Structural Analysis of the Bacteroides Conjugative Transposon CTn341
(East Carolina University, 2005-04)The genetic structure and functional organization of a Bacteroides conjugative transposon (CTn), CTn341, were determined. CTn341 was originally isolated from a tetracycline-resistant clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus. ... -
Investigations into the roles of bacteroides fragilis thioredoxins during the oxidative stress response
(East Carolina University, 2011)The Gram-negative Bacteroides fragilis is the most frequently isolated bacterium from anaerobic infections. Native to the human intestinal tract, it serves a symbiotic role breaking down complex polysaccharides and ...
