Prophage-Encoded Staphylococcal Enterotoxin A: Regulation of Production in Staphylococcus aureus Strains Representing Different Sea Regions

open access: yesToxins, 2015
The present study investigates the nature of the link between the staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) gene and the lifecycle of Siphoviridae bacteriophages, including the origin of strain variation regarding SEA production after prophage induction.

Interactions between the Prophage 919TP and Its Vibrio cholerae Host: Implications of gmd Mutation for Phage Resistance, Cell Auto-Aggregation, and Motility

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Prophage 919TP is widely distributed among Vibrio cholera and is induced to produce free φ919TP phage particles. However, the interactions between prophage φ919TP, the induced phage particle, and its host remain unknown.

Frequent Sweetened Beverage Consumption Is Associated With Accelerated Biological Aging: Evidence From a Population‐Based Study and Gut Microbiota Analysis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Frequent sweetened beverage consumption is associated with accelerated biological aging in a large Chinese population. Five gut microbial genera are consistently enriched in both frequent sweetened beverage consumers and individuals with accelerated aging and show significant mediating effects, suggesting a potential microbiota‐related pathway linking ...

Plasmid-Mediated Stabilization of Prophages

open access: yesmSphere, 2022
The consequences of prophage induction on the physiology of microbial populations are varied and include enhanced biofilm formation, conferral of virulence, and increased opportunity for horizontal gene transfer. These traits lead to competitive advantages for lysogenized bacteria and influence bacterial lifestyles in a variety of niches.

Carriage of λ Latent Virus Is Costly for Its Bacterial Host due to Frequent Reactivation in Monoxenic Mouse Intestine. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2016
Temperate phages, the bacterial viruses able to enter in a dormant prophage state in bacterial genomes, are present in the majority of bacterial strains for which the genome sequence is available.

Antarctic soil microbiomes encode structurally conserved and phylogenetically diverse beta‐lactamases

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
An integrative metagenomic framework combining sequence, structural, and functional inference reveals a phylogenetically diverse and structurally conserved repertoire of putative beta‐lactamases across Antarctic soil microbiomes, with predominance of class A and subclass B3 enzymes and limited but detectable associations with mobile genetic elements ...

A φSa3int (NM3) Prophage Domestication in Staphylococcus aureus Leads to Increased Virulence Through Human Immune Evasion

open access: yesMedComm
Staphylococcus aureus with varying virulence is often isolated from chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients and impacts disease severity. Prophage‐mediated virulence, particularly encoded by φSa3int (NM3) prophages, which often encodes human immune‐evasion

Evidence tiers for strain‐resolved long‐read metagenomics

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Long‐read metagenomics links variants, repeats, and mobile elements across individual molecules and can reveal lineage turnover that is obscured at the species level. The strength of the resulting inference, however, depends on the type and genomic span of the recovered linkage. We distinguish four evidence units—strain profiles, local haplotype blocks,

Host population structure and species resolution reveal prophage transmission dynamics

open access: yesmBio
Much knowledge about bacteriophages has been obtained via genomics and metagenomics over the last decades. However, most studies dealing with prophage diversity have rarely conducted phage species delimitation (aspect 1) and have hardly integrated the ...
