Revealing the inventory of type III effectors in Pantoea agglomerans gall-forming pathovars using draft genome sequences and a machine-learning approach.

Molecular plant pathology
Pantoea agglomerans, a widespread epiphytic bacterium, has evolved into a hypersensitive response and pathogenicity (hrp)-dependent and host-specific gall-forming pathogen by the acquisition of a pathogenicity plasmid containing a type III secretion ...

Decoding virulence and resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae: Pharmacological insights, immunological dynamics, and in silico therapeutic strategies.

Microbial pathogenesis
Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) has become a serious global health concern due to its rising virulence and antibiotic resistance. As one of the leading members of ESKAPE pathogens, it plays a major role in a wide range of infections that cause ...

Predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants using features derived from AlphaFold2.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Missense variants are a frequent class of variation within the coding genome, and some of them cause Mendelian diseases. Despite advances in computational prediction, classifying missense variants into pathogenic or benign remains a major...

SVPath: an accurate pipeline for predicting the pathogenicity of human exon structural variants.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Although there are a large number of structural variations in the chromosomes of each individual, there is a lack of more accurate methods for identifying clinical pathogenic variants. Here, we proposed SVPath, a machine learning-based method to pred...

Pathogenic potential assessment of the Shiga toxin-producing by a source attribution-considered machine learning model.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Instead of conventional serotyping and virulence gene combination methods, methods have been developed to evaluate the pathogenic potential of newly emerging pathogens. Among them, the machine learning (ML)-based method using whole-genome sequencing ...

Predicting the pathogenicity of protein coding mutations using Natural Language Processing.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
DNA-Sequencing of tumor cells has revealed thousands of genetic mutations. However, cancer is caused by only some of them. Identifying mutations that contribute to tumor growth from neutral ones is extremely challenging and is currently carried out m...

BacPaCS-Bacterial Pathogenicity Classification via Sparse-SVM.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Bacterial infections are a major cause of illness worldwide. However, most bacterial strains pose no threat to human health and may even be beneficial. Thus, developing powerful diagnostic bioinformatic tools that differentiate pathogenic...

An account of in silico identification tools of secreted effector proteins in bacteria and future challenges.

Briefings in bioinformatics
Bacterial pathogens secrete numerous effector proteins via six secretion systems, type I to type VI secretion systems, to adapt to new environments or to promote virulence by bacterium-host interactions. Many computational approaches have been used i...

[Bovine lactoferrin decreases the invasion of Salmonella enterica to HEp-2 cells].

Revista de gastroenterologia del Peru : organo oficial de la Sociedad de Gastroenterologia del Peru
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) on the invasion of Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium to HEp-2 cells.
