Ribonucleotides in bacterial DNA [PDF]

open access: yesCritical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014
In all living cells, DNA is the storage medium for genetic information. Being quite stable, DNA is well-suited for its role in storage and propagation of information, but RNA is also covalently included in DNA through various mechanisms. Recent studies also demonstrate useful aspects of including ribonucleotides in the genome during repair.

Circulating bacterial-derived DNA fragment level is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease in peritoneal dialysis patients. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Circulating bacterial DNA fragment is related to systemic inflammatory state in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We hypothesize that plasma bacterial DNA level predicts cardiovascular events in new PD patients.We measured plasma bacterial DNA level in ...

Screening for Highly Transduced Genes in Staphylococcus aureus Revealed Both Lateral and Specialized Transduction

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Bacteriophage-mediated transduction of bacterial DNA is a major route of horizontal gene transfer in the human pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus. Transduction involves the packaging of bacterial DNA by viruses and enables the transmission of virulence and ...

The Influence of DNA Extraction and Lipid Removal on Human Milk Bacterial Profiles

open access: yesMethods and Protocols, 2020
Culture-independent molecular techniques have advanced the characterization of environmental and human samples including the human milk (HM) bacteriome. However, extraction of high-quality genomic DNA that is representative of the bacterial population in

Presence of multiple bacterial markers in clinical samples might be useful for presumptive diagnosis of infection in cirrhotic patients with culture-negative reports [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Bacterial infections in cirrhotic patients with ascites are associated with a severe prognosis and an increased risk of death. The microbiological standard tests for the diagnosis of suspected infection, based on culture test of blood and ascitic fluid ...

Optimization of DNA extraction from human urinary samples for mycobiome community profiling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
IntroductionRecent data suggest the urinary tract hosts a microbial community of varying composition, even in the absence of infection. Culture-independent methodologies, such as next-generation sequencing of conserved ribosomal DNA sequences, provide an

Remarkable stability of an instability-prone lentiviral vector plasmid in Escherichia coli Stbl3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Large-scale production of plasmid DNA to prepare therapeutic gene vectors or DNA-based vaccines requires a suitable bacterial host, which can stably maintain the plasmid DNA during industrial cultivation.
