    • Comparative proteomic analysis of pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains from the swine pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 

      Pinto, Paulo Marcos; Klein, Catia Silene; Zaha, Arnaldo; Ferreira, Henrique Bunselmeyer (2009) [Journal article]
      Background: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is a highly infectious swine pathogen and is the causative agent of enzootic pneumonia (EP). Following the previous report of a proteomic survey of the pathogenic 7448 strain of swine ...

    • Global analysis of sRNA target genes in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 

      Fritsch, Tiago Ebert; Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Schrank, Irene Silveira (2018) [Journal article]
      Background: Small RNAs (sRNAs) are noncoding molecules that regulate different cellular activities in several bacteria. The role of sRNAs in gene expression regulation is poorly characterized in the etiological agent of ...

    • Intrinsic terminators in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae transcription 

      Fritsch, Tiago Ebert; Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Schrank, Irene Silveira (2015) [Journal article]
      Background: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, an important pathogen of swine, exhibits a low guanine and cytosine (GC) content genome. M. hyopneumoniae genome is organised in long transcriptional units and promoter sequences have ...

    • Microbiome overview in swine lungs 

      Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Wohlfeil, Esteban Pérez; Carvalho, Fabíola Marques de; Trelles, Oswaldo; Schrank, Irene Silveira; Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza Ribeiro de; Zaha, Arnaldo (2017) [Journal article]
      Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the etiologic agent of swine enzootic pneumonia. However other mycoplasma species and secondary bacteria are found as inhabitants of the swine respiratory tract, which can be also related to ...

    • Molecular analysis of an Integrative Conjugative Element, ICEH, present in the chromosome of different strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae 

      Pinto, Paulo Marcos; Carvalho, Marcos Oliveira de; Alves Júnior, Leonardo; Brocchi, Marcelo; Schrank, Irene Silveira (2007) [Journal article]
      Diversification of bacterial species and pathotypes is largely caused by lateral gene transfer (LGT) of diverse mobile DNA elements such as plasmids, phages, transposons and genomic islands. Thus, acquisition of new ...

    • Mycoplasma non-coding RNA: identification of small RNAs and targets 

      Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Morais, Guilherme Loss de; Higashi, Susan; Beier, Laura Scherer; Breyer, Gabriela Merker; Godinho, Caio Padoan de Sá; Sagot, Marie France; Schrank, Irene Silveira; Zaha, Arnaldo (2016) [Journal article]
      Background: Bacterial non-coding RNAs act by base-pairing as regulatory elements in crucial biological processes. We performed the identification of trans-encoded small RNAs (sRNA) from the genomes of Mycoplama hyopneumoniae, ...

    • A preliminary survey of M. hyopneumoniae virulence factors based on comparative genomic analysis 

      Ferreira, Henrique Bunselmeyer; Castro, Luiza Amaral de (2007) [Journal article]
      Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is the etiological agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia (PEP), a major problem for the pig industry. The mechanisms of M. hyopneumoniae pathogenicity allow to predict the existence of several classes ...

    • Survey of surface proteins from the pathogenic Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strain 7448 using a biotin cell surface labeling approach 

      Reolon, Luciano Antonio; Martello, Carolina Lumertz; Schrank, Irene Silveira; Ferreira, Henrique Bunselmeyer (2014) [Journal article]
      The characterization of the repertoire of proteins exposed on the cell surface by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae), the etiological agent of enzootic pneumonia in pigs, is critical to understand physiological ...

    • Unravelling the transcriptome profile of the swine respiratory tract mycoplasmas 

      Siqueira, Franciele Maboni; Gerber, Alexandra Lehmkuhl; Guedes, Rafael Lucas Muniz; Almeida, Luiz Gonzaga Paula de; Schrank, Irene Silveira; Vasconcelos, Ana Tereza Ribeiro de; Zaha, Arnaldo (2014) [Journal article]
      The swine respiratory ciliary epithelium is mainly colonized by Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, Mycoplasma flocculare and Mycoplasma hyorhinis. While colonization by M. flocculare is virtually asymptomatic, M. hyopneumoniae and ...
