Genes and physiological strategies in bacterial antibiotic resistance [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Bacteria display an incredible genetic plasticity, which enables them to adapt to various environmental stressors, such as antibiotic compounds that may imperil their existence. Bacterial resistance mechanisms include degradative enzymes, inactivation of

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.

Flagellar Genes Are Associated with the Colonization Persistence Phenotype of the Drosophila melanogaster Microbiota

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
In this work, we use Drosophila melanogaster as a model to identify bacterial genes necessary for bacteria to colonize their hosts independent of the bulk flow of diet.

Occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes and potentially pathogenic bacteria in the Yangtze River tributary (Nanjing section) and their correlation with environmental factors

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

Bt, Not a Threat to Propylea japonica

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Given the ever-increasing commercial planting of transgenic plants across the world, an evaluation of their impacts on non-target organisms is as an important part of the risk assessment process.

Evolutionary Conservation of Bacterial Essential Metabolic Genes across All Bacterial Culture Media. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
One of the basic postulates of molecular evolution is that functionally important genes should evolve slower than genes of lesser significance. Essential genes, whose knockout leads to a lethal phenotype are considered of high functional importance, yet ...

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)

Identification of bacterial leaf blight resistance genes in Malaysian local rice varieties [PDF]

, 2020
Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo) is a bacterial pathovar that causes a serious bacterial leaf blight disease of rice. This disease poses significant constraint on food security in Asia, as it causes yield loss in rice.

Genomic and ecological attributes of marine bacteriophages encoding bacterial virulence genes

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Bacteriophages encode genes that modify bacterial functions during infection. The acquisition of phage-encoded virulence genes is a major mechanism for the rise of bacterial pathogens.

Identification of responsive genes and analysis of genes with bacterial-inducible cis-regulatory elements in the promoter regions in Oryza sativa L.

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2020
Bacterial blight of rice caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is one of the most critical diseases in rice.  In order to study rice responsive genes to bacterial stress, microarray data were retrieved from GEO dataset. To identify the responsive
