Genes within Genes in Bacterial Genomes
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.

Bacterial gene therapy strategies [PDF]
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.

Canine uterine bacterial infection induces upregulation of proteolysis-related genes and downregulation of homeobox and zinc finger factors. [PDF]
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 ...

Transcriptional adaptation of shigella flexneri during infection of macrophages and epithelial cells : insights into the strategies of a cytosolic bacterial pathogen [PDF]
Shigella flexneri, the etiologic agent of bacillary dysentery, invades epithelial cells as well as macrophages and dendritic cells and escapes into the cytosol soon after invasion.

Gene-for-Gene Tolerance to Bacterial Wilt in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a disease of widespread economic importance that affects numerous plant species, including Arabidopsis thaliana. We describe a pathosystem between A. thaliana and biovar 3 phylotype I strain BCCF402 of R. solanacearum isolated from Eucalyptus trees. A.

Effect of bacterial inoculation, plant genotype and developmental stage on root-associated and endophytic bacterial communities in potato (Solanum tuberosum) [PDF]
Beneficial bacteria interact with plants by colonizing the rhizosphere and roots followed by further spread through the inner tissues, resulting in endophytic colonization.

RNA‐Seq for Bacterial Gene Expression [PDF]
AbstractRNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) has become the preferred method for global quantification of bacterial gene expression. With the continued improvements in sequencing technology and data analysis tools, the most labor‐intensive and expensive part of an RNA‐seq experiment is the preparation of sequencing libraries, which is also essential for the ...
