The stress of carrying CRISPR-Cas. [PDF]

Virulence
Abstract Streptococcus anginosus ( S. anginosus ) is a commensal that can cause severe invasive bacterial infections. A considerable percentage of S. anginosus strains harbor CRISPR-Cas systems, which apart from being a bacterial

CASPredict: a web service for identifying Cas proteins [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and their associated (Cas) proteins constitute the CRISPR-Cas systems, which play a key role in prokaryote adaptive immune system against invasive foreign elements.

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.

An Endogenous Staphylococcus aureus CRISPR-Cas System Limits Phage Proliferation and Is Efficiently Excised from the Genome as Part of the SCCmec Cassette

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
CRISPR-Cas is an adaptive immune system that allows bacteria to inactivate mobile genetic elements. Approximately 50% of bacteria harbor CRISPR-Cas; however, in the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, CRISPR-Cas loci are less common and often studied ...

CRISPR-Cas-Integrated LAMP

Biosensors, 2022
Pathogen-specific point-of-care (PoC) diagnostic tests have become an important need in the fight against infectious diseases and epidemics in recent years. PoC diagnostic tests are designed with the following parameters in mind: rapidity, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and ease of use.

CRISPR-Cas-Docker: web-based in silico docking and machine learning-based classification of crRNAs with Cas proteins

BMC Bioinformatics, 2023
Background CRISPR-Cas-Docker is a web server for in silico docking experiments with CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) and Cas proteins. This web server aims at providing experimentalists with the optimal crRNA-Cas pair predicted computationally when prokaryotic ...

Comparison of CRISPR–Cas Immune Systems in Healthcare-Related Pathogens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) and Clostridium difficile have been identified as the leading global cause of multidrug ...

CRISPR-Cas Systems in Prokaryotes [PDF]

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2015
Prokaryotic organisms possess numerous strategies that enable survival in hostile conditions. Among others, these conditions include the invasion of foreign nucleic acids such as bacteriophages and plasmids. The clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats-CRISPR-associated proteins (CRISPR-Cas) system provides the majority of bacteria and ...
