Design of a proteolytic module for improved metabolic modeling of .

The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in health and is significantly modulated by human diets. In addition to Western diets which are rich in proteins, high-protein diets are used for specific populations or indications, mainly weight loss. In this study, we investigated the effect of protein supplementation on , a Gram-negative gut symbiont.

Comparative Genome Analysis of Shows Clonal Complex-Dependent Diversity of the Putative Virulence Factor, /Type VII .

is a commensal bacterium of human skin that has emerged as a virulent Coagulase-Negative in both community-acquired and healthcare associated infections. Genotyping methods have shown a clonal population structure of this pathogen but failed to identify hypervirulent lineages. Here, complete genomes of three pathogenic and three carriage strains were obtained by Single-Molecule sequencing (PacBio) and compared to 15 complete genomes available in GenBank database.
