  Adhesin-receptor interactions in Pasteurellaceae.
Important human and animal pathogens are found among the Pasteurellaceae family which includes Haemophilus, Actinobacillus, and Pasteurella organisms.
The purpose of this paper is to review the adhesin-receptor systems found in Pasteurellaceae, with an emphasis on recent developments in this specific area.
Indeed, a wide variety of adhesins are expressed by members of the Pasteurellaceae, and different proteins (e.g.

  Pasteurellaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pasteurellaceae are a family of Proteobacteria, given their own order.
This species causes several diseases in humans (though not the flu, as was originally thought) and was the first organism to have its genome sequenced.
Bacteria in the family Pasteurellaceae have been classified into a number of genera based on metabolic properties, but these classifications are not generally accurate reflections of the evolutionary relationships between different species.

 CSM: Annual Conference - View 2004 Conference Abstract
These organisms, like several other pathogens of the family Pasteurellaceae, require iron and are known to acquire iron from various transferrins by means of siderophore-independent, receptor-mediated mechanisms.
The acquisition of Hb-bound iron by some other members of the Pasteurellaceae has been shown to involve homologues of the Hb-binding protein, HgbA, and using PCR approaches, we were able to identify and sequence hgbA homologues from strains 649, 9L and 3384Y.
It is concluded that the acquisition of Hb-bound iron by H.

While the Pasteurellaceae are considered to be infrequent, although potentially serious, human pathogens that are typically transmitted by animal bite wounds (3), they are of keen interest to rodent diagnosticians because of the frequency of their colonization of the upper respiratory tracts and other mucosal surfaces of rats and mice.
All of the Pasteurellaceae are considered to be oxidase positive, but in practice this reaction in strains of rodent origin is often weak or delayed.

 Evolutionary stability of DNA uptake signal sequences in the Pasteurellaceae.
Evolutionary stability of DNA uptake signal sequences in the Pasteurellaceae.
However, the H. influenzae USS is highly over-represented in the genomes of three otherwise-divergent Pasteurellaceae species (Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus somnus, and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, 927, 1,205, and 1,760 copies, respectively), suggesting that USSs do not always limit exchange.
These homologies suggest that the use of a common USS is due to inheritance of the USS-based uptake system from a common ancestor of the Pasteurellaceae, and it indicates that individual USSs can be evolutionarily stable elements of their genomes.

Competence and DNA uptake specificity are ancestral properties of the Pasteurellaceae, with divergent USSs and uptake specificity distinguishing only the two major subclades.
The conservation of most competence genes over the ~350 million year history of the family suggests that lineages that lose competence may be evolutionary dead ends.

 RD - Research Interests
The main aims of research in my laboratory include the assessment of genetic and phenotypic diversity within animal-pathogenic representatives of the Pasteurellaceae and the elucidation of the molecular basis of their virulence and host-specificity.
This is being carried out within an evolutionary framework by studying the population genetics and molecular evolution of the pathogens and their virulence genes.
An important aim of my research is to integrate studies on bacterial evolution and population genetics with more fundamental investigations into the biology of host-pathogen interactions.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Evolution of competence and DNA uptake specificity in the Pasteurellaceae
In the Pasteurellaceae and Neisseriaceae the molecular basis of this specificity is preferential binding of the uptake machinery to short DNA sequences present in thousands of copies in each species' genome.
Almost all Pasteurellaceae (gamma-proteobacteria) are commensals and/or pathogens of the mucosal surfaces of vertebrates, primarily birds and mammals, and several are important human pathogens.
Thus the origin of the Pasteurellaceae is likely to have long predated the origin of mammals (c.195 mya) and may be contemporaneous with the origin of tetrapods about 360 mya.

PCR included 4 rounds of annealing at 45ºC followed by 25 rounds at 60ºC. Forty-two species in the family Pasteurellaceae and 85 additional oral bacteria were examined.
Essentially all species tested within the Pasteurellaceae family produced large numbers of PCR bands with both primers, indicating the presence high numbers of USS in their genomes.
Conclusions: The results demonstrated that the Hi USS sequence is present in most species within the family Pasteurellaceae, and absent from 85 species outside this monophyletic group.

In addition, whole genome comparisons of the three completed Pasteurellaceae, Aa, Haemophilus influenzae and Pasteurella multocida were done to examine phylogenetic relationships among members of this family.
Although 16s sequence data shows that these three organisms are closely related, whole genome comparisons show that there is little or no colinearity among the three organisms.
