Background An outbreak of tuberculosis occurred over a 3-year period in a medium-size
community in British Columbia, Canada. The results of mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit…

Motivation: PSORTb v.1.1 is the most precise bacterial localization prediction tool available.
However, the program's predictive coverage and recall are low and the method is only …

The recent Ebola and Zika epidemics demonstrate the need for the continuous surveillance,
rapid diagnosis and real-time tracking of emerging infectious diseases. Fast, affordable …

Automated prediction of bacterial protein subcellular localization is an important tool for
genome annotation and drug discovery. PSORT has been one of the most widely used …

M. tuberculosis is evolving antibiotic resistance, threatening attempts at tuberculosis epidemic
control. Mechanisms of resistance, including genetic changes favored by selection in …

Although considerable progress has been made in dissecting the signaling pathways involved
in the innate immune response, it is now apparent that this response can no longer be …

Background In late spring 2009, concern was raised in Canada that prior vaccination with the
2008–09 trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) was associated with increased risk of …

Streptococcus salivarius is an early colonizer of human oral and nasopharyngeal epithelia,
and strain K12 has reported probiotic effects. An emerging paradigm indicates that …

Traditional pathogen detection methods in public health infectious disease surveillance rely
upon the identification of agents that are already known to be associated with a particular …

The computational prediction of the subcellular localization of bacterial proteins is an important
step in genome annotation and in the search for novel vaccine or drug targets. Since the …
