Mobile genetic elements from the maternal microbiome shape infant gut microbial assembly and metabolism.

Cell, 2022
The perinatal period represents a critical window for cognitive and immune system development, promoted by maternal and infant gut microbiomes and their metabolites.

Composite mobile genetic elements disseminating macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae emerged in the US and globally during the early 1990’s. The RNA methylase encoded by erm(B) and the macrolide efflux genes mef(E) and mel were identified as the resistance determining factors.

Exploring Mobile Genetic Elements in Vibrio cholerae. [PDF]

Genome Biol Evol
Abstract Members of the bacterial species Vibrio cholerae are known both as prominent constituents of marine environments and as the causative agents of cholera, a severe diarrheal disease. While strains responsible for cholera have been extensively studied over the past century, less is known about their environmental counterparts ...

mobileOG-db: a Manually Curated Database of Protein Families Mediating the Life Cycle of Bacterial Mobile Genetic Elements

bioRxiv, 2021
The analysis of bacterial mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in genomic data is a critical step toward profiling the root causes of antibiotic resistance, phenotypic or metabolic diversity, and the evolution of bacterial genera.

A host of armor: Prokaryotic immune strategies against mobile genetic elements.

Cell Reports, 2023
Prokaryotic adaptation is strongly influenced by the horizontal acquisition of beneficial traits via mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as viruses/bacteriophages and plasmids.

How do interactions between mobile genetic elements affect horizontal gene transfer?

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2023
Horizontal gene transfer is central to bacterial adaptation and is facilitated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Increasingly, MGEs are being studied as agents with their own interests and adaptations, and the interactions MGEs have with one another are

Using source-associated mobile genetic elements to identify zoonotic extraintestinal E. coli infections

One Health, 2023
A one-health perspective may provide new and actionable information about Escherichia coli transmission. E. coli colonizes a broad range of vertebrates, including humans and food-production animals, and is a leading cause of bladder, kidney, and ...
