Analysis of and function predictions for previously conserved hypothetical or putative proteins in Blochmannia floridanus

Abstract: Background: There is an increasing interest to better understand endosymbiont capabilities in insects both from an ecological point of view and for pest control. Blochmannia floridanus provides important nutrients for its host, the ant Camponotus, while the bacterium in return is provided with a niche to proliferate. Blochmannia floridanus proteins and metabolites are difficult to study due to its endosymbiontic life style; however, its complete genome sequence became recently available.

“…However, re-examination of 20 of the biovar 1 isolates shows characteristics of biovar 3, the dominant biovar in countries proximal to Nigeria [34]. Moreover, VNTR genotyping [35] clusters these 20 strains with biovar 3a rather than 3b, the latter being typically reported in Europe (Ducrotoy, Bertu, Moriyón, and Ocholi, unpublished results). B. melitensis has not been reported in cattle, although there is close contact with small ruminants.…”

“…Nontyphoidal salmonellosis is one of the most common causes of foodborne diarrheal disease worldwide and remains a major public health problem in many parts of the world [7]. It is often implicated in over 60% of cases of human salmonellosis in Europe and North America [8], Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa [9], also in countries such as India [10], Japan [11], and the United States [12]. Several studies had documented isolation of nontyphoidal Salmonella from humans and poultry in different parts of Nigeria [13,14].…”
