Lytic and Lysogenic Infection of DiverseEscherichia coli and Shigella Strains with a Verocytotoxigenic Bacteriophage

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2001
A verocytotoxigenic bacteriophage isolated from a strain of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157, into which a kanamycin resistance gene (aph3) had been inserted to inactivate the verocytotoxin gene (vt2), was used to infect Enterobacteriaceae strains.

Defender or accomplice? Dual roles of plant vesicle trafficking in restricting and enabling geminiviral systemic infection

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The vesicle trafficking system enables multidirectional cargo fluxes between endomembrane compartments. However, vesicle trafficking plays dual roles during pathogen infections. In plants, it mediates autophagic immune responses but can also be hijacked by pathogens to facilitate successful infections.

Lambda-prophage induction modeled as a cooperative failure mode of lytic repression

, 2008
We analyze a system-level model for lytic repression of lambda-phage in E. coli using reliability theory, showing that the repressor circuit comprises 4 redundant components whose failure mode is prophage induction.

Small and Smaller—sRNAs and MicroRNAs in the Regulation of Toxin Gene Expression in Prokaryotic Cells: A Mini-Review [PDF]

, 2017
Non-coding small RNAs (sRNAs) have been identified in the wide range of bacteria (also pathogenic species) and found to play an important role in the regulation of many processes, including toxin gene expression.

From bacterial predators to partners: phages in agriculture

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, are critical players for shaping the taxonomic and functional composition of plant‐associated microbiomes. Yet, their roles in plant health remain overlooked, along with their implications for sustainable agriculture.

Viable but Nonculturable State, a Survival Strategy for Salmonella in Aquatic Environments

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Transition of Salmonella from a culturable state to a viable but nonculturable state under various environmental stresses and current methods for detecting viable Salmonella in environmental samples. ABSTRACT In the relentless battle for survival, Salmonella has evolved mechanisms to withstand harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, fluctuating ...

Role of RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL signalling pathway in sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sepsis‐associated acute kidney injury (SA‐AKI) is a common clinical syndrome in critically ill patients, and its high mortality rate is closely related to complex pathological mechanisms. Existing studies have shown that the pathophysiological process of SA‐AKI involves complex multi‐mechanism interactions, including an uncontrolled systemic ...

Isolation and preliminary characterization of a novel bacteriophage vB_KquU_φKuK6 that infects the multidrug-resistant pathogen Klebsiella quasipneumoniae

Frontiers in Microbiology
BackgroundKlebsiella quasipneumoniae (previously known as K. pneumoniae K6) strains are among the multidrug-resistant hypervirulent bacterial pathogens. Phage therapy can help treat infections caused by such pathogens.

Natural solution to antibiotic resistance: bacteriophages ‘The Living Drugs’ [PDF]

, 2014
Antibiotics have been a panacea in animal husbandry as well as in human therapy for decades. The huge amount of antibiotics used to induce the growth and protect the health of farm animals has lead to the evolution of bacteria that are resistant to the ...

Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.
Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.
