Lysogeny in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Bacterial viruses, or bacteriophages, are major contributors to the evolution, pathogenesis and overall biology of their host bacteria. During their life cycle, temperate bacteriophages form stable associations with their host by integrating into the ...

Quantification of Lysogeny Caused by Phage Coinfections in Microbial Communities from Biophysical Principles.

MSystems, 2020
Temperate phages can associate with their bacterial host to form a lysogen, often modifying the phenotype of the host. Lysogens are dominant in the microbially dense environment of the mammalian gut.

Bacteriophage tRNA-dependent lysogeny: requirement of phage-encoded tRNA genes for establishment of lysogeny.

MBio
Bacteriophages are large and diverse components of the biosphere, and many phages are temperate. Upon infection, temperate phages can establish lysogeny in which a prophage is typically integrated into the bacterial chromosome.

Temperate phage-antibiotic synergy across antibiotic classes reveals new mechanism for preventing lysogeny.

MBio
A recent demonstration of synergy between a temperate phage and the antibiotic ciprofloxacin suggested a scalable approach to exploiting temperate phages in therapy, termed temperate phage-antibiotic synergy, which specifically interacted with the lysis ...

Comparative Genomics of Prophages Sato and Sole Expands the Genetic Diversity Found in the Genus Betatectivirus

Microorganisms, 2021
Tectiviruses infecting the Bacillus cereus group represent part of the bacterial “plasmid repertoire” as they behave as linear plasmids during their lysogenic cycle.

Are Bordetella bronchiseptica Siphoviruses (Genus Vojvodinavirus) Appropriate for Phage Therapy—Bacterial Allies or Foes?

Viruses, 2021
Bordetella bronchiseptica is a respiratory animal pathogen that shows growing resistance to commonly used antibiotics, which has necessitated the examination of new antimicrobials, including bacteriophages.

DNA Viral Diversity, Abundance, and Functional Potential Vary across Grassland Soils with a Range of Historical Moisture Regimes

mBio, 2021
Soil viruses are abundant, but the influence of the environment and climate on soil viruses remains poorly understood. Here, we addressed this gap by comparing the diversity, abundance, lifestyle, and metabolic potential of DNA viruses in three grassland

Analysis of Infection Time Courses Shows CII Levels Determine the Frequency of Lysogeny in Phage 186

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Engineered phage with properties optimised for the treatment of bacterial infections hold great promise, but require careful characterisation by a number of approaches.

Biodiversity and Classification of Phages Infecting Lactobacillus brevis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Lactobacillus brevis is a lactic acid bacterium that is known as a food and beverage spoilage organism, and more specifically as a beer-spoiler. Phages of L.

Viruses may facilitate the cyanobacterial blooming during summer bloom succession in Xiangxi Bay of Three Gorges Reservoir, China

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms in summer are frequently accompanied by the succession of phytoplankton communities in freshwater. However, little is known regarding the roles of viruses in the succession, such as in huge reservoirs.
