Bacterial Nomenclature up-to-date" is based on the work of Norbert Weiss, who maintained the database until his retirement in February 2003. The database is based on those names which are validly published according to the Bacteriological Code. The present database is maintained under the supervision of Manfred Kracht, who may be consulted on technical aspects (database or online access). Queries relating to nomenclature or taxonomic interpretation may be addressed to Brian J. Tindall. A complete list of the names can be downloaded from our FTP server: bactname.pdf (PDF file), bactname.exe (self-extracting file for MS-DOS systems) or names.txt (uncompressed ASCII text file). To import the list of names into a database or a spreadsheet programme, you can download bactname.zip (compressed Excel file). ... [Information of the supplier]
This site is devoted to different issues related to the molecular systematics, taxonomy, genomics, ecology and evolution of symbiotic legume nodule bacteria, which are collectively known as "RHIZOBIA". It's mission is to provide a useful resource to the community of rhizobiologists/agrobacteriologists. Besides up-to-date links to all validly described rhizobial/agrobacterial taxa, the site provides hands-on tutorials on different issues in phylogenetic analysis of sequence data and lots of other valuable information such as links to forthcoming scientific meetings, key papers in the above mentioned areas, etc ...

PlasmoDB is a genome database for the genus Plasmodium, a set of single-celled eukaryotic pathogens that cause human and animal diseases, including malaria. [Information of the supplier]
The aim of ECDC is to provide as much information as possible about the model organism Echerichia coli K12. This collection offers you all information regarding the entire E.coli K12 chromosome, we possibly could get. The collection is searchable in different ways: by a gen/sequence map, scrolling different tables or just by search for a keyword. ... [Information of the supplier]
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) which belong to serotypes O157:H7 and O157:NM (nonmotile) and several non-O157 serotypes cause diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome in humans. Routine diagnostics performed by the HUS Laboratory at University Münster include isolation and cultivation of EHEC from stool specimens, food, water using immunomagnetic separation, colony immunoblot, and PCR targeting different toxins and other virulence determinants. ...

The goal of creating the Human Oral Microbiome Database (HOMD) is to provide the scientific community with comprehensive information on the approximately 600 prokaryote species that are present in the human oral cavity. The majority of these species are uncultivated and unnamed, recognized primarily by their 16S rRNA sequences. The HOMD presents a provisional naming scheme for the currently unnamed species so that strain, clone, and probe data from any laboratory can be directly linked to a stably named reference entity. The HOMD links sequence data with phenotypic, phylogenetic, clinical, and bibliographic information. Full and partial oral bacterial genome sequences determined as part of this project and the Human Microbiome Project, are being added to the HOMD as they become available. HOMD offers easy to used tools for viewing all publically available oral bacterial genomes. ... [Information of the supplier]
Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are a diverse group of mobile genetic elements found in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. ICEs are self-transmissible elements that encode a full complement of machinery for conjugation as well as intricate regulatory systems to control excision from the chromosome and onward conjugative transfer [Wozniak and Waldor, 2010; Burrus,2004]. These multi-talented entities can promote their own mobilization and potentially that of other 'hitch-hiking' genetic elements and thus contribute to horizontal transfer of virulence determinants, antibiotic-resistance genes and other bacterial traits [Hastings. et al., 2004]. ICEs are being identified in increasing numbers as sequenced genome databases expand exponentially [Wozniak, et al., 2010; Ryan, et al., 2009; te Poele, et al., 2008; Burrus et al., 2002]. At present only a few have been classified into ICE families, amongst the best characterized of which is the SXT/R391 family of Vibrio cholerae, like SXT of Vibrio cholerae O139 MO10. In addition, several elements discovered more than a decade ago which had previously been classified as plasmids or conjugative transposons, such as pSAM2 and Tn916 , have now been defined as ICEs. ICEs typically exhibit a number of features that are of interest to researchers in the fields of prokaryotic evolution, pathogenesis, biotechnology and metabolism. These include high levels of functional diversity, foreign and frequently patchwork origins and sparse experimental data on these entities. We are collating available experimental and bioinformatics analyses data and literature about known and putative ICEs in bacteria as a PostgreSQL-based database called ICEberg. As its name implies we expect that ICEberg will continue to grow from its currently visible tiny 'tip' representing presently known ICEs to a very substantial database as more and more of these entities are revealed. ...

Recent years have brought us striking discoveries in the field of bacterial genetics and ecology that sprung from rapid advances in sequencing technologies and “omics” approaches, bioinformatics, microscopy and various analytical techniques. These advances allowed us to gather vast amounts of data, marvel over the remarkable diversity of microbial communities, culture previously unculturable organisms and discover novel ecosystem functions. These rapid developments now call for critical evaluation of the vast knowledge obtained and for hypothesis-driven research that will lead to novel concepts and connections and will be addressed during the 12th meeting on Bacterial Genetics and Ecology (BAGECO). We are pleased to welcome some of the most renowned scientists in this field to give presentations on recent advances in prokaryotic evolution and horizontal gene transfer; socio-microbiology and microbial community networking; microbial interactions with eukaryotic hosts; drivers of microbial community diversity and ecological outcomes; beneficial microbes; and microbial responses to anthropogenic impacts and biotechnological advances that may alleviate them. ...

We are pleased to announce the Cold Spring Harbor Asia-Yersinia, also the 11th international symposium on Yersinia, which will be held at the Suzhou Dushu Lake Conference Center in Suzhou, China, located approximately 60 miles west of Shanghai. The conference will begin at 7:00pm on the evening of Monday June 24, and will conclude after lunch on Friday June 28, 2013. Yersinia 11 is the most important event in the field of Yersinia to bring together researchers from around the world working on Yersinia to exchange ideas and knowledge on wide topics, including bacteriology, epidemiology, infection and immunity, genomics and evolution, disease surveillance and control, and Omics-driven studies for the bacteria. ...
