Bacteria-human somatic cell lateral gene transfer is enriched in cancer samples. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2013 There are 10× more bacterial cells in our bodies from the microbiome than human cells. Viral DNA is known to integrate in the human genome, but the integration of bacterial DNA has not been described. Using publicly available sequence data from the human

Bacterial Extracellular DNA Promotes β-Amyloid Aggregation
Microorganisms, 2021 Alzheimer’s disease is associated with prion-like aggregation of the amyloid β (Aβ) peptide and the subsequent accumulation of misfolded neurotoxic aggregates in the brain.

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2005 Three group B Neisseria meningitidis isolates, recovered from meningococcal disease cases in Canada and typed as B:2c:P1.5, were characterized. Multilocus sequence typing showed that all three isolates were related because of an identical sequence ...

An efficient strategy for broad-range detection of low abundance bacteria without DNA decontamination of PCR reagents. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Bacterial DNA contamination in PCR reagents has been a long standing problem that hampers the adoption of broad-range PCR in clinical and applied microbiology, particularly in detection of low abundance bacteria.

Bacterial DNA amplifies neutrophilic inflammation in IL-17-exposed airways
ERJ Open Research, 2023 Background Neutrophilic asthma (NA) is associated with increased airway interleukin (IL)-17 and abnormal bacterial community such as dominance of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi), particularly during asthma exacerbations.
