Fitness Costs of Plasmids: a Limit to Plasmid Transmission

Microbiology Spectrum, 2017
ABSTRACT Plasmids mediate the horizontal transmission of genetic information between bacteria, facilitating their adaptation to multiple environmental conditions. An especially important example of the ability of plasmids to catalyze bacterial adaptation and evolution is their instrumental role in the global spread of antibiotic resistance ...

Detecting plasmid-mediated dissemination of blaKPC-3 and blaOXA-48-like genes in Enterobacterales across Finnish healthcare organizations using hybrid genome assembly

Frontiers in Microbiology
The spread of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) is a global concern. While the majority of the CPE outbreaks are due to clonal spread, recent findings highlight the transmission of carbapenemase gene-carrying plasmids across various ...

Carbapenemases: Transforming Acinetobacter baumannii into a Yet More Dangerous Menace

Biomolecules, 2020
Acinetobacter baumannii is a common cause of serious nosocomial infections. Although community-acquired infections are observed, the vast majority occur in people with preexisting comorbidities. A. baumannii emerged as a problematic pathogen in the 1980s

Enhancing student understanding of genetic cloning through a 3D-printed active learning activity and flipped classroom curriculum

Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education
This classroom curriculum is designed to teach the topic of cloning in both small- and large-enrollment undergraduate general microbiology courses. Students often struggle to grasp and visualize genetic engineering or cloning, in which a piece of DNA is ...

Characterization of a novel Phietavirus genus bacteriophage and its potential for efficient transfer of modified shuttle plasmids to Staphylococcus aureus strains of different clonal complexes

Microbiology Spectrum
Staphylococcus aureus is a significant human pathogen responsible for various nosocomial and community-acquired infections, leading to considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Temperate bacteriophages contribute to its virulence and facilitate the

KPC-2-Producing Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae of the Uncommon ST29 Type Carrying OXA-926, a Novel Narrow-Spectrum OXA β-Lactamase

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
We isolated and characterized a carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) clinical strain from blood carrying a novel blaOXA gene, blaOXA–926, and belonging to ST29, an uncommon CRKP type. The strain, 130002, was genome sequenced using both short-

A Primary Physiological Role of Toxin/Antitoxin Systems Is Phage Inhibition

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Toxin/antitoxin (TA) systems are present in most prokaryote genomes. Toxins are almost exclusively proteins that reduce metabolism (but do not cause cell death), and antitoxins are either RNA or proteins that counteract the toxin or the RNA that encodes ...
