Bacterial gene therapy strategies [PDF]
The Journal of Pathology, 2005 AbstractThe ability of bacteria to mediate gene transfer has only recently been established and these observations have led to the utilization of various bacterial strains in gene therapy. The types of bacteria used include attenuated strains of Salmonella, Shigella, Listeria, and Yersinia, as well as non‐pathogenic Escherichia coli.

Bacterial cooperation through horizontal gene transfer [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2022 Cooperation exists across all scales of biological organization, from genetic elements to complex human societies. Bacteria cooperate by secreting molecules that benefit all individuals in the population (i.e., public goods). Genes associated with cooperation can spread among strains through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). We discuss recent findings on

Patterns of Bacterial Gene Movement [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2004 Lateral gene transfer has emerged as an important force in bacterial evolution. A substantial number of genes can be inserted into or deleted from genomes through the process of lateral transfer. In this study, we looked for atypical occurrence of genes among related organisms to detect laterally transferred genes.

The emergence and fate of horizontally acquired genes in Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2008 Bacterial species, and even strains within species, can vary greatly in their gene contents and metabolic capabilities. We examine the evolution of this diversity by assessing the distribution and ancestry of each gene in 13 sequenced isolates of ...

Bacterial protein interaction networks: connectivity is ruled by gene conservation, essentiality and function [PDF]
, 2020 Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are the backbone of all processes in living cells. In this work we relate conservation, essentiality and functional repertoire of a gene to the connectivity $k$ of the corresponding protein in the PPI networks ...

Bacterial Genes Outnumber Archaeal Genes in Eukaryotic Genomes [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019 Abstract Eukaryotes are typically depicted as descendants of archaea, but their genomes are evolutionary chimeras with genes stemming from archaea and bacteria. Which prokaryotic heritage predominates? Here, we have clustered 19,050,992 protein sequences from 5,443 bacteria and 212 archaea with 3,420,731 protein sequences from 150 ...

Canine uterine bacterial infection induces upregulation of proteolysis-related genes and downregulation of homeobox and zinc finger factors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: Bacterial infection with the severe complication of sepsis is a frequent and serious condition, being a major cause of death worldwide. To cope with the plethora of occurring bacterial infections there is therefore an urgent need to identify ...

Genes within Genes in Bacterial Genomes
Microbiology Spectrum, 2018 ABSTRACT Genetic coding in bacteria largely operates via the “one gene-one protein” paradigm. However, the peculiarities of the mRNA structure, the versatility of the genetic code, and the dynamic nature of translation sometimes allow organisms to deviate from the standard rules of protein encoding.
