Phages and human health: More than idle hitchhikers [PDF]

, 2019
Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea. Phages have diverse morphologies and can be coded in DNA or RNA and as single or double strands with a large range of genome sizes. With the increasing use of metagenomic sequencing

Ecological Niche Adaptations Influence Transposable Element Dynamics in Pollinating and Non-Pollinating Fig Wasps. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The influence of ecological niches on transposable element (TE) dynamics, particularly in mutualistic relationships, remains understudied. This research reveals that non‐pollinating fig wasps (NPFWs) have “aggressive,” expansion‐driven TE landscapes with active insertions, contrasting with the stable, “dormant” TE profiles in pollinators.

Complex Formation between NheB and NheC Is Necessary to Induce Cytotoxic Activity by the Three-Component Bacillus cereus Nhe Enterotoxin. [PDF]

, 2013
The nonhemolytic enterotoxin (Nhe) is known as a major pathogenicity factor for the diarrheal type of food poisoning caused by Bacillus cereus. The Nhe complex consists of NheA, NheB and NheC, all of them required to reach maximum cytotoxicity following ...

Pathogenicity and Genomic Characterization of <i>Pasteurella multocida</i> Serogroup F Isolate AH01 From Porcine Pneumonia in China. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida), a significant animal pathogen, causes swine pneumonia and atrophic rhinitis, primarily associated with serogroups A, D, and F. Although serogroups A and D are prevalent in pigs and well‐established causes of these diseases, the pathogenicity and genomic characteristics of porcine serogroup F remain poorly ...
