Long-read metagenomic sequencing reveals shifts in associations of antibiotic resistance genes with mobile genetic elements from sewage to activated sludge

Microbiome, 2022
Background There is concern that the microbially rich activated sludge environment of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) may contribute to the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).

What traits are carried on mobile genetic elements, and why? [PDF]

, 2010
Although similar to any other organism, prokaryotes can transfer genes vertically from mother cell to daughter cell, they can also exchange certain genes horizontally.

Searching for active mobile genetic elements in dsRNA fraction of Pinus sylvestris having witches broom abnormalities

Genomics Data, 2017
The most common type of coniferous mobile genetic elements are retrotransposons. Despite of their early positive impact on evolution of modern coniferous species they can have a significant negative impact for Forestry and breeding.

Distinct genealogies for plasmids and chromosome [PDF]

, 2014
An earlier perspective on the diversity of conjugative elements in microbes [1] attempted to provide a broad audience with an introductory overview of the arcane biology of mobile genetic elements and their terminologies. It might well have been entitled

Mobile genetic elements in Acinetobacter antibiotic‐resistance acquisition and dissemination

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2022
Pathogenic Acinetobacter species, most notably Acinetobacter baumannii, are a significant cause of healthcare‐associated infections worldwide. Acinetobacter infections are of particular concern to global health due to the high rates of multidrug ...

Identifying insertion mutations by whole-genome sequencing

BioTechniques, 2011
Insertion mutagenesis via mobile genetic element is a common technique for the analysis of gene function in model organisms. Next-generation sequencing offers an attractive approach for localizing the site of insertion, but alignment-based mapping of ...

Is the bacterial chromosome a mobile genetic element?

Nature Communications, 2021
An outcome of phage infection, lateral transduction, has been shown to mobilize chromosomal genes between bacterial cells at rates that exceed those of mobile genetic elements such as plasmids.

The influence of the accessory genome on bacterial pathogen evolution [PDF]

, 2011
Bacterial pathogens exhibit significant variation in their genomic content of virulence factors. This reflects the abundance of strategies pathogens evolved to infect host organisms by suppressing host immunity.

Interactions between mobile genetic elements: An anti-phage gene in an integrative and conjugative element protects host cells from predation by a temperate bacteriophage

PLoS Genetics, 2022
Most bacterial genomes contain horizontally acquired and transmissible mobile genetic elements, including temperate bacteriophages and integrative and conjugative elements.
