Philympics 2021: Prophage Predictions Perplex Programs

, 2022
Background Most bacterial genomes contain integrated bacteriophages—prophages—in various states of decay. Many are active and able to excise from the genome and replicate, while others are cryptic prophages, remnants of their former ...

Genome Analysis of Corynebacterium ulcerans Isolates Chronologically Recovered From the Same Cat for Two Years: Circulation in a Cat Shelter

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans, a zoonotic pathogen, was isolated repeatedly from a cat in an in‐house group in Japan. Although the cat was cured once by antibiotic treatment, clonal isolates of the original pathogenic strain were recovered repeatedly during a 2‐year course.

The impact of prophages on bacterial chromosomes [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2004
SummaryProphages were automatically localized in se‐quenced bacterial genomes by a simple semantic script leading to the identification of 190 prophages in 115 investigated genomes. The distribution of prophages with respect to presence or absence in a given bacterial species, the location and orientation of the prophages on the replichore was not ...

Circular genome representation of prophage similarity.

, 2021
Prophage similarity among genomes of the analyzed strains. Each prophage is represented by a different color on each chromosome. On each circle, genome used as query is showed larger than the subject genomes.

Profile of Eight Prophage Sequences Present in the Genomes of Different Acinetobacter baumannii Strains

Medical Laboratory Journal, 2017
Background and Objective: Prophage sequences are major contributors to interstrain variations within the same bacterial species. Acinetobacter baumannii is a gram-negative bacterium that causes a wide range of nosocomial infections, especially in ...

Retrospective Identification of Lactococcus petauri Among Archived Isolates From Farmed Fish in Japan: Pathogenicity and Molecular Epidemiology

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lactococcosis, caused by Lactococcus garvieae, L. formosensis, and L. petauri, is an important bacterial disease of farmed fish worldwide. In Japan, L. petauri has not previously been reported as a cause of lactococcosis, although lactococcosis cases not attributable to either L. garvieae or L. formosensis have been recorded.

Development of a Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction Assay for Differentiating Three Lactococcus Species Associated With Piscine Lactococcosis

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Piscine lactococcosis is an important bacterial disease of farmed fish. The causative agents, Lactococcus garvieae, Lactococcus petauri and Lactococcus formosensis, are closely related, which complicates species‐level identification. We developed a conventional multiplex PCR assay targeting species‐specific genes identified by comparative ...
