The heterogenous and diverse population of prophages in Mycobacterium genomes

mSystems, 2023
Bacterial genomes commonly carry one or more integrated prophages, although prophage prevalence varies greatly in different bacterial genera and species.

Genomic comparison of diverse Salmonella serovars isolated from swine. [PDF]

, 2019
Food animals act as a reservoir for many foodborne pathogens. Salmonella enterica is one of the leading pathogens that cause food borne illness in a broad host range including animals and humans.

Comparative genome analysis of Wolbachia strain wAu [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Wolbachia intracellular bacteria can manipulate the reproduction of their arthropod hosts, including inducing sterility between populations known as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI). Certain strains have been identified that are unable to

Prophage Tracer: precisely tracing prophages in prokaryotic genomes using overlapping split-read alignment [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2021
Abstract The life cycle of temperate phages includes a lysogenic cycle stage when the phage integrates into the host genome and becomes a prophage. However, the identification of prophages that are highly divergent from known phages remains challenging.

Mining of Thousands of Prokaryotic Genomes Reveals High Abundance of Prophages with a Strictly Narrow Host Range

mSystems, 2022
Phages and prophages are one of the principal modulators of microbial populations. However, much of their diversity is still poorly understood. Here, we extracted 33,624 prophages from 13,713 complete prokaryotic genomes to explore the prophage diversity

Comparative susceptibility of mosquito populations in North Queensland, Australia to oral infection with dengue virus. [PDF]

, 2014
Dengue is the most prevalent arthropod-borne virus, with at least 40% of the world's population at risk of infection each year. In Australia, dengue is not endemic, but viremic travelers trigger outbreaks involving hundreds of cases.

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.

MQM1, a bacteriophage infecting strains of Aeromonas salmonicida subspecies salmonicida carrying Prophage 3

Virus Research, 2023
Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida is a Gam-negative bacterium responsible for furunculosis in fish. Because this aquatic bacterial pathogen has a rich reservoir of antibiotic-resistant genes, it is essential to investigate antibacterial ...

Effects of the Campylobacter jejuni CJIE1 prophage homologs on adherence and invasion in culture, patient symptoms, and source of infection

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Prophages of enteric bacteria are frequently of key importance for the biology, virulence, or host adaptation of their host. Some C. jejuni isolates carry homologs of the CJIE1 (CMLP 1) prophage that carry cargo genes potentially involved in ...

Characterization of bacteriophage communities and CRISPR profiles from dental plaque. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundDental plaque is home to a diverse and complex community of bacteria, but has generally been believed to be inhabited by relatively few viruses.
