Complete Genome Sequences of Lactobacillus Phages J-1 and PL-1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Lactobacillus phages J-1 and PL-1 were isolated during the 1960s from abnormal fermentations of Yakult. The genomes are almost identical, but PL-1 has a deletion in the genetic switch region and also differs in a gene coding for a putative tail protein ...

Direct Sequencing of 5‐Methylcytosine and 5‐Hydroxymethylcytosine at Single‐Base Resolution Unravels Their Distinct Roles in Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces two orthogonal sequencing methods, CMD1‐Deaminase sequencing (CD‐seq) and CMD1‐TET bisulfite sequencing (CT‐seq), that enable direct, independent detection of 5mC. Using these approaches together with ACE‐seq or TAB‐seq for 5hmC identification, the study reveals a significant reduction in 5hmC, but not 5mC, in the hippocampus of ...

Isolation and Genome Characterization of the Virulent Staphylococcus aureus Bacteriophage SA97

open access: yesViruses, 2015
A novel bacteriophage that infects S. aureus, SA97, was isolated and characterized. The phage SA97 belongs to the Siphoviridae family, and the cell wall teichoic acid (WTA) was found to be a host receptor of the phage SA97.

Phage ϕC2 mediates transduction of Tn6215, encoding erythromycin resistance, between Clostridium difficile strains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
UNLABELLED: In this work, we show that Clostridium difficile phage ϕC2 transduces erm(B), which confers erythromycin resistance, from a donor to a recipient strain at a frequency of 10(-6) per PFU.

A Porcine Monoclonal Antibody Targeting a Conserved GP4 Epitope Protects against In Vivo Infection via the Induction of Broad‐Spectrum PRRSV Neutralization

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed mAb‐5F2, a monoclonal antibody targeting conserved GP4 residues (Q48/I50), which blocks the GP4‐CD163 interaction, resulting in a 78–85% reduction in viral entry. Porcineized 5F2‐pFc prevented mortality in infected piglets, reduced pulmonary viral loads, and minimized lesions. This broad‐spectrum antibody platform overcomes vaccine

Characterization of a bacteriophage with broad host range against strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from domestic animals

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2019
Background Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections. Moreover, the species can cause severe infections in cystic fibrosis patients, in burnt victims and cause disease in domestic animals ...

Modeling the architecture of depolymerase-containing receptor binding proteins in Klebsiella phages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Klebsiella pneumoniae carries a thick polysaccharide capsule. This highly variable chemical structure plays an important role in its virulence. Many Klebsiella bacteriophages recognize this capsule with a receptor binding protein (RBP) that contains a ...

CRISPR Screening Reveals a Novel Role for FOXH1 in Regulating Pluripotency of Porcine Embryonic Stem Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study performs dual CRISPR screens in pEPSCs. Fitness screening identifies essential genes for viability, while FACS‐based screening uncovers core pluripotency factors. It highlights FOXH1 as a key regulator that maintains the stem cell state through a dual‐action mechanism: preserving pluripotency by enhancing chromatin accessibility and ...

The genome and proteome of a virulent Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteriophage closely resembling Salmonella phage Felix O1

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2009
Based upon whole genome and proteome analysis, Escherichia coli O157:H7-specific bacteriophage (phage) wV8 belongs to the new myoviral genus, "the Felix O1-like viruses" along with Salmonella phage Felix O1 and Erwinia amylovora phage φEa21-4. The genome
