Development of a Prophage Typing System and Analysis of Prophage Carriage in Streptococcus pneumoniae [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2009
ABSTRACT The frequency of prophage carriage was tested in a collection of 108 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae . A PCR-based assay was developed to allow classification of the prophage into the three groups recently identified according to genome comparisons (P. Romero, N. Croucher, N.

12/111phiA Prophage Domestication Is Associated with Autoaggregation and Increased Ability to Produce Biofilm in Streptococcus agalactiae

Microorganisms, 2021
CC17 Streptococcus agalactiae carrying group-A prophages is increasingly responsible for neonatal infections. To investigate the impact of the genetic features of a group-A prophage, we first conducted an in silico analysis of the genome of 12/111phiA, a

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

Viruses, 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.

A prophage-encoded abortive infection protein preserves host and prophage spread. [PDF]

Nature
Most bacterial pathogens are polylysogens, harbouring multiple vertically transmitted prophages1-3. These prophages enhance bacterial pathogenicity and survival by encoding virulence factors and anti-phage defence systems while retaining the capacity for horizontal transfer.

IMACulate(DE3), an E. coli Strain for High Purity His‐Tagged Protein Purifications

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immobilised Metal Affinity Chromatography (IMAC) is widely used to purify his‐tagged recombinant proteins from Escherichia coli. However, endogenous contaminants with histidine clusters, such as GFAT and PDH E1 proteins, are often co‐purified with the target protein.

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

PLoS 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.

Tiny carriers, big impact: How Fusobacterium nucleatum extracellular vesicles drive oral diseases and beyond

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This review explores how Fusobacterium nucleatum extracellular vesicles drive local oral diseases and distal pathologies via sophisticated cross‐compartment cross talk. It highlights the transformative potential of these “tiny carriers” as next‐generation molecular intermediaries for advanced health monitoring and innovative bio‐interventions by ...

Plasmid-Mediated Stabilization of Prophages

mSphere, 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.

Host population structure and species resolution reveal prophage transmission dynamics

mBio
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 ...
