A broad brush, global overview of bacterial sexuality [PDF]

, 2011
Bacterial sexuality is confusing, even for experts! I used to be such an expert on one mechanism of sexuality, conjugation, but that was over 30 years ago.

A Polymorphic Gene within the Mycobacterium smegmatis esx1 Locus Determines Mycobacterial Self-Identity and Conjugal Compatibility

mBio, 2022
Mycobacteria mediate horizontal gene transfer (HGT) by a process called distributive conjugal transfer (DCT) that is mechanistically distinct from oriT-mediated plasmid transfer.

SpyTag/SpyCatcher display of influenza M2e peptide on norovirus-like particle provides stronger immunization than direct genetic fusion

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionVirus-like particles (VLPs) are similar in size and shape to their respective viruses, but free of viral genetic material. This makes VLP-based vaccines incapable of causing infection, but still effective in mounting immune responses.

Transfer of the Integrative and Conjugative Element ICESt3 of Streptococcus thermophilus in Physiological Conditions Mimicking the Human Digestive Ecosystem

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Metagenome analyses of the human microbiome suggest that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is frequent in these rich and complex microbial communities. However, so far, only a few HGT studies have been conducted in vivo.

Antibiotic Resistance, Virulence Factors, Phenotyping, and Genotyping of E. coli Isolated from the Feces of Healthy Subjects

Microorganisms, 2019
Escherichia coli may innocuously colonize the intestine of healthy subjects or may instigate infections in the gut or in other districts. This study investigated intestinal E. coli isolated from 20 healthy adults.

Evolution of Virulence, Fitness, and Carbapenem Resistance Transmission in ST23 Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae with the Capsular Polysaccharide Synthesis Gene wcaJ Inserted via Insertion Sequence Elements

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) is recognized as a threat worldwide, but the mechanisms underlying its emergence remain unclear. As most CR-hvKP isolates are not hypermucoviscous, we speculated that the evolution of the

Dissemination of antimicrobial resistance in microbial ecosystems through horizontal gene transfer

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria has been a rising problem for public health in recent decades. It is becoming increasingly recognized that not only antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) encountered in clinical ...
