Synergistic Interactions among Burkholderia cepacia Complex-Targeting Phages Reveal a Novel Therapeutic Role for Lysogenization-Capable Phages

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Antimicrobial resistance is a danger to global public health and threatens many aspects of modern medicine. Bacterial species such as those of the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) cause life-threatening respiratory infections and are highly resistant ...

Viral Regulation on Bacterial Community Impacted by Lysis-Lysogeny Switch: A Microcosm Experiment in Eutrophic Coastal Waters

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Marine viruses are major drivers of global biogeochemical cycles and energy fluxes, yet the importance of viral impacts on the succession and diversity of the bacterial community remains largely unexplored.

An extended catalog of integrated prophages in the infant and adult fecal microbiome shows high prevalence of lysogeny

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Background and aimsThe acquisition and gradual maturation of gut microbial communities during early childhood is central to an individual’s healthy development. Bacteriophages have the potential to shape the gut bacterial communities.

phiD12-Like Livestock-Associated Prophages Are Associated With Novel Subpopulations of Streptococcus agalactiae Infecting Neonates

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a major cause of invasive disease in neonates worldwide. Monitoring data have revealed a continuing trend toward an increase in neonatal GBS infections, despite the introduction of preventive measures.

Staphylococcus aureus Prophage-Encoded Protein Causes Abortive Infection and Provides Population Immunity against Kayviruses

mBio, 2023
Both temperate and obligately lytic phages have crucial roles in the biology of staphylococci. While superinfection exclusion among closely related temperate phages is a well-characterized phenomenon, the interactions between temperate and lytic phages ...

Mitomycin C eliminates cyanobacterial transcription without detectable prophage induction in a Microcystis-dominated harmful algal bloom in Lake Erie

Microbiology Spectrum
Although evidence indicates that viruses are important in the ecology of Microcystis spp., many questions remain. For example, how does Microcystis exist at high, bloom-associated cell concentrations in the presence of viruses that infect it?

Fixed points and limit cycles in the population dynamics of lysogenic viruses and their hosts

, 2010
Starting with stochastic rate equations for the fundamental interactions between microbes and their viruses, we derive a mean field theory for the population dynamics of microbe-virus systems, including the effects of lysogeny. In the absence of lysogeny,

An Abstraction Theory for Qualitative Models of Biological Systems [PDF]

, 2010
Multi-valued network models are an important qualitative modelling approach used widely by the biological community. In this paper we consider developing an abstraction theory for multi-valued network models that allows the state space of a model to be ...
