Bacterial DNA ligases [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2001
DNA ligases join breaks in the phosphodiester backbone of DNA molecules and are used in many essential reactions within the cell. All DNA ligases follow the same reaction mechanism, but they may use either ATP or NAD+ as a cofactor. All Bacteria (eubacteria) contain NAD+‐dependent DNA ligases, and the uniqueness of these enzymes to Bacteria makes them ...

Ribonucleotides in bacterial DNA [PDF]

Critical 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.

Bacterial DNA in the diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis [PDF]

Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2010
Despite inoculation into blood culture bottles, ascitic fluid culture is negative in 50% of cases of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP).To determine whether 16S rDNA gene detection by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing increases the efficacy of culture in microbiological diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.We ...

Circulating bacterial DNA in cardiovascular disease

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a global health burden despite advances in prevention and treatment. Conventional biomarkers, while effective for a number of patient groups, fail to provide personalized diagnosis and prognosis, necessitating the ...

Organization of DNA in a bacterial nucleoid [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2016
It is unclear how DNA is packaged in a bacterial cell in the absence of nucleosomes. To investigate the initial level of DNA condensation in bacterial nucleoid we used in vivo DNA digestion coupled with high-throughput sequencing of the digestion-resistant fragments. To this end, we transformed E.

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

PLoS 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

Microbiology 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

Methods 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

Bacterial DNA is present in the fetal intestine and overlaps with that in the placenta in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Bacterial DNA has been reported in the placenta and amniotic fluid by several independent groups of investigators. However, it's taxonomic overlap with fetal and maternal bacterial DNA in different sites has been poorly characterized. Here, we determined

Wolbachia and DNA barcoding insects: patterns, potential and problems [PDF]

, 2012
Wolbachia is a genus of bacterial endosymbionts that impacts the breeding systems of their hosts. Wolbachia can confuse the patterns of mitochondrial variation, including DNA barcodes, because it influences the pathways through which mitochondria are ...
