Genome-wide identification of bacterial plant colonization genes. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Diverse soil-resident bacteria can contribute to plant growth and health, but the molecular mechanisms enabling them to effectively colonize their plant hosts remain poorly understood. We used randomly barcoded transposon mutagenesis sequencing (RB-TnSeq)

Propensity for proto-gene emergence in bacteria [PDF]
Genome BiologyBackground The birth of new genes from non-coding sequences has been postulated to be preceded by a proto-gene phase, in which a sequence is translated into protein but does not exhibit hallmarks of a clear function.

ArdA genes from pKM101 and from B. bifidum chromosome have a different range of regulated genes
Heliyon, 2023 The ardA genes are present in a wide variety of conjugative plasmids and play an important role in overcoming the restriction barrier. To date, there is no information on the chromosomal ardA genes.

Forecasting the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes across bacterial genomes
Nature Communications, 2021 Antibiotic resistance spreads among bacteria through horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, we set out to determine predictive features of ARG transfer among bacterial clades.

UBCG2: Up-to-date bacterial core genes and pipeline for phylogenomic analysis
Journal of Microbiology, 2021 Phylogenomic tree reconstruction has recently become a routine and critical task to elucidate the evolutionary relationships among bacterial species. The most widely used method utilizes the concatenated core genes, universally present in a single-copy ...

Environmental Research Communications, 2023 Freshwater environments are vulnerable to emerging contaminants such as Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and their occurrence is gaining more attention. However, the occurrence of ARGs along with potential pathogens is less explored. The current study

CRISPR-Cas is associated with fewer antibiotic resistance genes in bacterial pathogens
bioRxiv, 2021 The acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes via horizontal gene transfer is a key driver of the rise in multidrug resistance amongst bacterial pathogens. Bacterial defence systems per definition restrict the influx of foreign genetic material, and may

Genome-wide association analysis identifies resistance loci for bacterial blight in a diverse collection of indica rice germplasm [PDF]
, 2017 Bacterial blight, which is caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is one of the most devastating rice diseases worldwide. The development and use of disease-resistant cultivars have been the most effective strategy to control bacterial blight ...

The Composition and Spatial Patterns of Bacterial Virulence Factors and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in 19 Wastewater Treatment Plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Bacterial pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance are of concern for environmental safety and public health. Accumulating evidence suggests that wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are as an important sink and source of pathogens and antibiotic ...
