Recent advances in noncanonical inhibition mechanisms of anti‐CRISPR proteins

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 133-147, April 2026.
Abstract The CRISPR‐Cas system constitutes an adaptive immune mechanism in prokaryotes that defends against mobile genetic elements. Within the perpetual co‐evolutionary arms race between bacteria and their viral predators, bacteriophages encode anti‐CRISPR (Acr) proteins that use sophisticated molecular strategies to sabotage CRISPR‐Cas function ...

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.

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

Characterizing RecA-Independent Induction of Shiga toxin2-encoding Phages by EDTA Treatment [PDF]

, 2013
The bacteriophage life cycle has an important role in Shiga toxin (Stx) expression. The induction of Shiga toxin-encoding phages (Stx phages) increases toxin production as a result of replication of the phage genome, and phage lysis of the host cell also

Overexpression of Escherichia coli yaiX Confers Multidrug Resistance and Enhances Virulence in the Silkworm Infection Model

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 193-205, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The emergence of bacteria with both antimicrobial resistance and high virulence has become a global health concern, underscoring the urgent need to elucidate the molecular basis underlying these traits. Here, we employed the silkworm (Bombyx mori) infection model, which is suitable for high‐throughput screening, together with an Escherichia ...

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.

Hi‐C Links Reveal Viral Activity and Infection Within the Free‐Living Microbial Community of a Secondary Chlorophyll Maximum in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Hi‐C sequencing was used to link viral sequences with microbial metagenome assembled genomes in the largely uncultivated waters of an oxygen‐deficient zone's secondary chlorophyll maximum within the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Ocean. ABSTRACT Oxygen‐deficient zones (ODZs) influence global nitrogen cycling as key sites for the removal of bioavailable

Population gene introgression and high genome plasticity for the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae [PDF]

, 2019
The influence that bacterial adaptation (or niche partitioning) within species has on gene spillover and transmission among bacteria populations occupying different niches is not well understood.
