Lambda-prophage induction modeled as a cooperative failure mode of lytic repression

open access: yes, 2008
We analyze a system-level model for lytic repression of lambda-phage in E. coli using reliability theory, showing that the repressor circuit comprises 4 redundant components whose failure mode is prophage induction.

A multiplex oligonucleotide ligation-PCR as a complementary tool for subtyping of Salmonella Typhimurium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Subtyping below the serovar level is essential for surveillance and outbreak detection and investigation of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) and its monophasic variant 1,4,[5],12:i:- (S.

Antibiotic Resistance and Pathogenicity of Vibrio Species in Aquaculture: Implications for Fish Health and Food Safety in LMICs

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Pathogenic Vibrio species isolated from aquaculture environments in low‐ and middle‐income countries exhibit elevated antimicrobial resistance and multiple virulence traits. These findings highlight significant risks to fish health and food safety, underscoring the need for strengthened antimicrobial stewardship, robust biosecurity measures and ...

Unwelcome neighbours: Tracking the transmission of Streptococcus equi in the United Kingdom horse population

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 533-548, March 2026.
Abstract Background Strangles (Streptococcus equi infection) remains endemic in the UK, with ~300 laboratory diagnoses annually. Sub‐clinically infected long‐term carriers are considered a key driver of endemicity. Analysing genomes of circulating strains could provide valuable transmission insights of this pathogen.

Replication of plasmids derived from Shiga toxinconverting bacteriophages in starved Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) depends on the expression of stx genes that are located on lambdoid prophages. Effective toxin production occurs only after prophage induction, and one may presume that replication of the

Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.
Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.

Characterization of a Prophage-Free Derivative Strain of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis IL1403 Reveals the Importance of Prophages for Phenotypic Plasticity of the Host

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium of major importance for the dairy industry and for human health. Recent sequencing surveys of this species have provided evidence that all lactococcal genomes contain prophages and prophage-like elements. The

Effects of Noise on Ecological Invasion Processes: Bacteriophage-mediated Competition in Bacteria

open access: yes, 2006
Pathogen-mediated competition, through which an invasive species carrying and transmitting a pathogen can be a superior competitor to a more vulnerable resident species, is one of the principle driving forces influencing biodiversity in nature.
