Viral Diversity Threshold for Adaptive Immunity in Prokaryotes [PDF]
mBio, 2012 Bacteria and archaea face continual onslaughts of rapidly diversifying viruses and plasmids. Many prokaryotes maintain adaptive immune systems known as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated genes (Cas ...

Occurrence and Diversity of CRISPR-Cas Systems in the Genus Bifidobacterium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 CRISPR-Cas systems constitute adaptive immune systems for antiviral defense in bacteria. We investigated the occurrence and diversity of CRISPR-Cas systems in 48 Bifidobacterium genomes to gain insights into the diversity and co-evolution of CRISPR-Cas ...

Exploiting CRISPR-Cas to manipulate Enterococcus faecalis populations
eLife, 2017 CRISPR-Cas provides a barrier to horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes. It was previously observed that functional CRISPR-Cas systems are absent from multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterococcus faecalis, which only possess an orphan CRISPR locus, termed ...

Phylogenetic Distribution of CRISPR-Cas Systems in Staphylococcus lugdunensis
Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) genes (CRISPR-Cas) are present in many bacterial genomes with functions beyond adaptive immunity.
