Opportunity and Means: Horizontal Gene Transfer from the Human Host to a Bacterial Pathogen
mBio, 2011 The acquisition and incorporation of genetic material between nonmating species, or horizontal gene transfer (HGT), has been frequently described for phylogenetically related organisms, but far less evidence exists for HGT between highly divergent ...

Iron Physiology and Its Impact on Atopic Diseases: An EAACI Taskforce Report
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and immune regulation. Yet iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient disorder across all age groups, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. Iron deficiency triggers nutritional immunity, a host defense mechanism that withholds and redistributes iron, contributing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in the penA and multidrug efflux pump genes has been shown to play a key role in the genesis of antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. In this study, we evaluated if there was evidence of HGT in the genes coding

The ComEA/ComEC Operon is Critical for Nitrosative Stress Tolerance by an Oral Commensal
Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oral commensal streptococci play a large role in mediating microbial homeostasis. Our prior work has demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced by oral commensal streptococci can react with salivary nitrite (NO2) and generate peroxynitrite (ONOO−), a potent antimicrobial.
