Flagellar motility mediates biofilm formation in Aeromonas dhakensis.

Aeromonas dhakensis possesses dual flagellar systems for motility under different environments. Flagella-mediated motility is necessary for biofilm formation through an initial attachment of bacteria to the surface, but this has not been elucidated in A. dhakensis.

Characterization of the relationship between polar and lateral flagellar genes in clinical Aeromonas dhakensis: phenotypic, genetic and biochemical analyses.

Flagellar-mediated motility is a crucial virulence factor in many bacterial species. A dual flagellar system has been described in aeromonads; however, there is no flagella-related study in the emergent human pathogen Aeromonas dhakensis. Using 46 clinical A.

Genetic relatedness and novel sequence types of clinical Aeromonas dhakensis from Malaysia.

Aeromonas dhakensis is an emergent human pathogen with medical importance. This study was aimed to determine the sequence types (STs), genetic diversity, and phylogenetic relationships of different clinical sources of 47 A. dhakensis from Malaysia using multilocus sequence typing (MLST), goeBURST, and phylogenetic analyses.

Transfusion-dependent thalassemia in Northern Sarawak: a molecular study to identify different genotypes in the multi-ethnic groups and the importance of genomic sequencing in unstudied populations.

Background: Although thalassemia is a genetic hemoglobinopathy in Malaysia, there is limited data on thalassemia mutations in the indigenous groups. This study aims to identify the types of globin gene mutations in transfusion-dependent patients in Northern Sarawak.

Methods: Blood was collected from 32 patients from the Malay, Chinese, Kedayan, Bisayah, Kadazandusun, Tagal, and Bugis populations.
