Gene therapy using bacterial vectors
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2017 Bacteria can be used for gene therapy via two strategies - either by transfection of eukaryotic host cells using bacteria (bactofection) or by alternative gene therapy that does not alter the host genome, but uses the prokaryotic expression system, which can be controlled or stopped from outside.

Enzymes are enriched in bacterial essential genes.
PLoS ONE, 2011 Essential genes, those indispensable for the survival of an organism, play a key role in the emerging field, synthetic biology. Characterization of functions encoded by essential genes not only has important practical implications, such as in identifying

What does the talking?: quorum sensing signalling genes discovered in a bacteriophage genome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The transfer of novel genetic material into the genomes of bacterial viruses (phages) has been widely documented in several host-phage systems. Bacterial genes are incorporated into the phage genome and, if retained, subsequently evolve within them.

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 ...

Bacterial CRISPR screens for gene function
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2021 In this review we describe the application of CRISPR tools for functional genomics screens in bacteria, with a focus on the use of interference (CRISPRi) approaches. We review recent developments in CRISPRi titration, which has enabled essential gene functional screens, and genome-scale pooled CRISPRi screens.

Multiple gene sequence analysis using genes of the bacterial DNA repair pathway
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2015 The ability to recognize and repair abnormal DNA structures is common to all forms of life. Physiological studies and genomic sequencing of a variety of bacterial species have identified an incredible diversity of DNA repair pathways.
