Spirochaetes as intestinal pathogens: Lessons from a Brachyspira genome [PDF]
, 2009 Anaerobic spirochaetes of the genus Brachyspira have long been known as important gut pathogens of pigs, but increasingly they are recognised as causing disease in birds and other animal species, including human beings.

Cutting out the φC31 prophage [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2011 SummaryTo establish a lysogenic lifestyle, the temperate bacteriophage φC31 integrates its genome into the chromosome of its Streptomyces host, by site‐specific recombination between attP (the attachment site in the phage DNA) and attB (the chromosomal attachment site). This reaction is promoted by a phage‐encoded serine recombinase Int.

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.Estuaries are vital hotspots for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) due to substantial antibiotic pollution. Although viruses have been proposed as key reservoirs and important disseminators of ARGs in environments, their contribution to the estuarine antibiotic resistome remains largely unknown.

Genotyping and characterization of prophage patterns in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus
BMC Research Notes, 2019 Objective Staphylococcus aureus is considered an important pathogen with a variety of virulence factors in communities and hospitals all around the world. Prophage typing is a practical technique for categorizing this bacterium. In this study, we focused

Single-peptide DNA-dependent RNA polymerase homologous to multi-subunit RNA polymerase [PDF]
, 2017 Transcription in all living organisms is accomplished by multi-subunit RNA polymerases (msRNAPs). msRNAPs are highly conserved in evolution and invariably share a B400 kDa five-subunit catalytic core.

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.Abstract Green tides caused by Ulva species have become one of the most serious marine ecological disasters, now impacting many coastal nations around the world. Although climatic and environmental drivers of these macroalgal blooms are well recognized, growing evidence identifies Ulva‐associated microbiota as potential pivotal regulators of bloom ...

Bacterial viruses enable their host to acquire antibiotic resistance genes from neighbouring cells [PDF]
, 2016 Prophages are quiescent viruses located in the chromosomes of bacteria. In the human pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus, prophages are omnipresent and are believed to be responsible for the spread of some antibiotic resistance genes.

Bacteriophage Therapy: Current Strategies and Future Perspectives
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.This manuscript systematically reviews the expanding scope of phage applications. It moves beyond traditional antibacterial use to explore their role in precision therapies against drug‐resistant infections, their synergy with antibiotics, and advanced biomaterial‐assisted delivery systems.
