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 ...

First Report of a Methicillin-Resistant, High-Level Mupirocin-Resistant Staphylococcus argenteus
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 We describe the identification of a methicillin-resistant, high-level mupirocin-resistant Staphylococcus argenteus. The isolate (1801221) was characterized as t6675-ST2250-SCCmecIVc, and whole-genome sequencing revealed that the isolate possessed two ...

A second large plasmid encodes conjugative transfer and antimicrobial resistance in O119:H2 and some typical O111 enteropathogenic \u3ci\u3eEscherichia coli\u3c/i\u3e strains [PDF]
, 2007 A novel and functional conjugative transfer system identified in O119:H2 enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strain MB80 by subtractive hybridization is encoded on a large multidrug resistance plasmid, distinct from the well-described EPEC adherence
