Cronobacter, the emergent bacterial pathogen Enterobacter sakazakii comes of age; MLST and whole genome sequence analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Following the association of Cronobacter spp. to several publicized fatal outbreaks in neonatal intensive care units of meningitis and necrotising enterocolitis, the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2004 requested the establishment of a ...

Bacterial protein interaction networks: connectivity is ruled by gene conservation, essentiality and function [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Genomics and Bacterial Metabolism [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology, 2003
The field of bacterial metabolism and physiology is arguably the oldest in microbiology. Much of our understanding of biological processes and molecular paradigms has its roots In early studies of prokaryotic physiology. After a period of declining interest in metabolic studies (prompted by the insurgence of molecular techniques), genomic technologies ...

Dynamic bacterial genome organization [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, 1997
Recently completed projects of sequencing chromosomal fragments and entire chromosomes, as well as physical mapping of genomes, have opened novel inroads to the understanding of the biology of bacterial genomes. From these studies one may draw some conclusions.

The infinitely many genes model with horizontal gene transfer

open access: yes, 2014
The genome of bacterial species is much more flexible than that of eukaryotes. Moreover, the distributed genome hypothesis for bacteria states that the total number of genes present in a bacterial population is greater than the genome of every single ...

The emergence and fate of horizontally acquired genes in Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The variability of the 16S rRNA gene in bacterial genomes and its consequences for bacterial community analyses.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
16S ribosomal RNA currently represents the most important target of study in bacterial ecology. Its use for the description of bacterial diversity is, however, limited by the presence of variable copy numbers in bacterial genomes and sequence variation ...

Bacterial genome reductions: Tools, applications, and challenges

open access: yesFrontiers in Genome Editing, 2022
Bacterial cells are widely used to produce value-added products due to their versatility, ease of manipulation, and the abundance of genome engineering tools. However, the efficiency of producing these desired biomolecules is often hindered by the cells’

A study on the correlation of nucleotide skews and the positioning of the origin of replication: different modes of replication in bacterial species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Deviations from Chargaff's 2nd parity rule, according to which A∼T and G∼C in single stranded DNA, have been associated with replication as well as with transcription in prokaryotes. Based on observations regarding mainly the transcription-replication co-
