A single chlamydial protein reshapes the plasma membrane and serves as recruiting platform for central endocytic effector proteins

Communications Biology, 2023
Uptake of obligate intracellular bacterial pathogens into mammalian epithelial cells is critically dependent on modulation of the host’s endocytic machinery.

Visualization for genomics: the Microbial Genome Viewer [PDF]

Bioinformatics, 2004
Abstract Summary: A Web-based visualization tool, the Microbial Genome Viewer, is presented that allows the user to combine complex genomic data in a highly interactive way. This Web tool enables the interactive generation of chromosome wheels and linear genome maps from genome annotation data stored in a MySQL database.

Pangenome analysis reveals genetic isolation in Campylobacter hyointestinalis subspecies adapted to different mammalian hosts

Scientific Reports, 2021
Campylobacter hyointestinalis is an emerging pathogen currently divided in two subspecies: C. hyointestinalis subsp. lawsonii which is predominantly recovered from pigs, and C. hyointestinalis subsp.

Human microbiota drives hospital-associated antimicrobial resistance dissemination in the urban environment and mirrors patient case rates

Microbiome, 2022
Background The microbial community composition of urban environments is primarily determined by human activity. The use of metagenomics to explore how microbial communities are shaped in a city provides a novel input that can improve decisions on public ...

Genomic characterization of the C. tuberculostearicum species complex, a prominent member of the human skin microbiome

mSystems, 2023
Corynebacterium is a predominant genus in the skin microbiome, yet its genetic diversity on the skin is incompletely characterized and underrepresented in public databases.

Microbial genomic taxonomy [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2013
A need for a genomic species definition is emerging from several independent studies worldwide. In this commentary paper, we discuss recent studies on the genomic taxonomy of diverse microbial groups and a unified species definition based on genomics. Accordingly, strains from the same microbial species share >95% Average Amino Acid Identity (AAI) and ...

Adaptation to novel spatially-structured environments is driven by the capsule and alters virulence-associated traits

Nature Communications, 2022
Phenotypic and genotypic evolution in worrisome Klebsiella spp. is influenced by the capsule. Here the authors show that adaptation outside the host can impact virulence-associated traits, including de novo emergence of hypermucoviscosity.
