The Photorhabdus Virulence Cassettes RRSP-Like Effector Interacts With Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 1 and Causes Mitotic Defects in Mammalian Cells

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The “Photorhabdus virulence cassettes” (PVCs) secreted by Photorhabdus are defined as “extracellular contractile injection systems” (eCISs) and can deliver effectors to eukaryotic hosts for cytotoxicity. Previously, we demonstrated the cryogenic electron

Comparative Genomics and Pathogenicity Analysis of Two Bacterial Symbionts of Entomopathogenic Nematodes: The Role of the GroEL Protein in Virulence

Microorganisms, 2022
Bacteria of the genera Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes. Despite their close phylogenetic relationship, they show differences in their pathogenicity and virulence mechanisms in target insects.

Photorhabdus Species: Bioluminescent Bacteria as Human Pathogens?

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
We report two Australian patients with soft tissue infections due to Photorhabdus species. Recognized as important insect pathogens, Photorhabdus spp. are bioluminescent gram-negative bacilli.

Protein glycosylation in the gram-negative gamma proteobacterium photorhabdus luminescens [PDF]

, 2011
The objective of this research was to investigate the possibility that Photorhabdus luminescens produces glycoproteins and thus contains a protein glycosylation system. P. luminescens is a pathogen of insects and a symbiont of soil nematodes.

Evaluation of the Antifungal Activities of Photorhabdus akhurstii and Its Secondary Metabolites against Phytopathogenic Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a phytopathogenic fungus that causes devastating losses in strawberries without effective countermeasures. Members of the genus Photorhabdus exhibit antimicrobial capability and have been found to have the potential for ...

Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Their Symbiotic Bacteria from the National Parks of Thailand and Larvicidal Property of Symbiotic Bacteria against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus

Biology, 2022
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are insect parasitic nematodes of the genera Het-erorhabditis and Steinernema. These nematodes are symbiotically associated with the bacteria, Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus, respectively.

RNA-Sequencing of Heterorhabditis nematodes to identify factors involved in symbiosis with Photorhabdus bacteria

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Nematodes are a major group of soil inhabiting organisms. Heterorhabditis nematodes are insect-pathogenic nematodes and live in a close symbiotic association with Photorhabdus bacteria.

Genome analysis of secondary metabolite‑biosynthetic gene clusters of Photorhabdus akhurstii subsp. akhurstii and its antibacterial activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria

PLoS ONE, 2022
Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus can produce a variety of secondary metabolites with broad spectrum bioactivity against microorganisms. We investigated the antibacterial activity of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus against 15 antibiotic-resistant bacteria ...

Beware glowing cadavers: bioluminescence of nematode symbiont Photorhabdus protects nematode-infected host cadavers from nocturnal scavengers

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Photorhabdus spp. are the only known terrestrial bioluminescent bacteria. We show that the bioluminescence produced by these bacteria reduces scavenging activity on the insect cadavers they colonize. Photorhabdus spp.
