Viral Assemblages of a Hypersaline Estuary Show Divergent Responses to Freshwater and Temperature Disturbances

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Metagenomic assessment of viromes at two sites in Laguna Madre, a hypersaline estuary, showed unique viral communities. Extreme cold temperature changes showed a greater propensity to enrich AMGs toward oxidative phosphorylation and sulfur metabolism. Extreme shifts in salinity led to homogenized viral taxonomic groups more similar to those typically ...

Prophage induction is enhanced and required for renal disease and lethality in an EHEC mouse model.

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), particularly serotype O157:H7, causes hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and even death. In vitro studies showed that Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2), the primary virulence factor expressed by EDL933 (an O157 ...

Spiroplasma Are Protective Heritable Symbionts With Low Physiological Impact in the Drosophilid Fly Zaprionus kolodkinae

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Zaprionus kolodkinae flies carry a maternally inherited ixodetis clade Spiroplasma that protects its host against wasp attack but has low overall physiological impact. Genome analysis presented a set of known symbiosis‐relevant effectors, and one encoding—a ricin B domain protein—that is novel to this Spiroplasma genome.

Prophages and satellite prophages are widespread in Streptococcus and may play a role in pneumococcal pathogenesis [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2019
Abstract Prophages (viral genomes integrated within a host bacterial genome) can confer various phenotypic traits to their hosts, such as enhanced pathogenicity. Here we analyse >1300 genomes of 70 different Streptococcus species and identify nearly 800 prophages and ...

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

Active Lysogeny in Listeria Monocytogenes Is a Bacteria-Phage Adaptive Response in the Mammalian Environment

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Some Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) strains harbor a prophage within the comK gene, which renders it inactive. During Lm infection of macrophage cells, the prophage turns into a molecular switch, promoting comK gene expression and therefore Lm ...

A Malectin‐Like Receptor Kinase and Bacterial Motility Shape Tissue‐Specific Maize–Xanthomonas vasicola Interactions

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
Dual RNA‐seq reveals that ZmCrRLK1L19 and bacterial motility drive tissue‐specific maize–Xanthomonas interactions, distinguishing mesophyll from vascular colonization strategies. ABSTRACT Understanding how pathogens infect different tissue types and how plants mount tissue‐specific defences against bacterial pathogens is critical for improving disease ...

Alternating High‐Fat and Polysaccharide Diets Modulates Gut Phage‐Bacterial Interplay

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.
This study reveals how alternating high‐fat and polysaccharide diets reshape the human gut virome and enhance phage‐bacteria interactions. Using large‐scale metagenomic meta‐analysis and a time‐resolved mouse model, the authors show that diets strongly modulate phage abundance, lifestyle, and gene exchange, offering new insights into nutrition‐guided ...
