Sensitive and specific detection of E. coli using biomimetic receptors in combination with a modified heat-transfer method [PDF]
, 2019 We report on a novel biomimetic sensor that allows sensitive and specific detection of Escherichia colt (E. coli) bacteria in a broad concentration range from 10(2) up to 10(6) CFU/mL in both buffer fluids and relevant food samples (i.e.

A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

Phage-Encoded LuxR-Type Receptors Responsive to Host-Produced Bacterial Quorum-Sensing Autoinducers
mBio, 2019 Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of cell-to-cell communication that bacteria use to orchestrate collective behaviors. QS relies on the cell-density-dependent production, accumulation, and receptor-mediated detection of extracellular signaling molecules ...

SVep1, a temperate phage of human oral commensal Streptococcus vestibularis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionBacteriophages play a vital role in the human oral microbiome, yet their precise impact on bacterial physiology and microbial communities remains relatively understudied due to the limited isolation and characterization of oral phages.

Lysis, Lysogeny, and Virus-Microbe Ratios [PDF]
Nature, 2016 We show that neither the Piggyback-the-Winner model nor coral reef virome data presented in Knowles et al. [1] support a mechanistic link between increases in lysogeny, suppression of lysis, and the decline of the virus-to-microbial cell ratio (VMR) at high microbial cell densities across environmental and human-associated systems.

Soil Viruses: A New Hope. [PDF]
, 2019 As abundant members of microbial communities, viruses impact microbial mortality, carbon and nutrient cycling, and food web dynamics. Although most of our information about viral communities comes from marine systems, evidence is mounting to suggest that

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]
, 2012 Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.
