Mobile Genetic Elements inMoraxella catarrhalis [PDF]
Mobile Genetic Elements, 2011 Moraxella catarrhalis is a Gram-negative diplococcus that is a strict human pathogen, which for a long period of time was regarded as a simple commensal. Research now shows that this organism is a pathogen its own right and is associated with both upper and lower respiratory tract infections.

Mobile Genetic Elements Associated with Antimicrobial Resistance [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2018 Strains of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, particularly those that are multiresistant, are an increasing major health care problem around the world. It is now abundantly clear that both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria are able to meet the evolutionary challenge of combating antimicrobial chemotherapy, often by acquiring preexisting ...

Crosstalk Between Type VI Secretion System and Mobile Genetic Elements
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2019 Many bacterial processes require cell-cell contacts. Such are the cases of bacterial conjugation, one of the main horizontal gene transfer mechanisms that physically spreads DNA, and the type VI secretion systems (T6SSs), which deploy antibacterial ...

Composite mobile genetic elements disseminating macrolide resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae
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.

Conditional Protein Splicing Switch in Hyperthermophiles through an Intein-Extein Partnership
mBio, 2018 Inteins are intervening proteins that undergo an autocatalytic splicing reaction that ligates flanking host protein sequences termed exteins. Some intein-containing proteins have evolved to couple splicing to environmental signals; this represents a new ...
