A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

Host Factor Induced Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles Promote Horizontal Gene Transfer in Vibrio cholerae

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
Antimicrobial stressors, that is, bile or mitomycin C, induce enlarged, nucleic acid‐rich bacterial extracellular vesicles in Vibrio cholerae that facilitate horizontal gene transfer in vitro and during intestinal colonisation. The findings provide a detailed comparison of control versus stress‐induced vesicles, identify bile as a host factor shaping ...

Prophages in Skin Pathogens: From Virulence to Therapy

Pathogens
Prophages are bacteriophage genomes that are part of bacterial chromosomes. They are not just dormant passengers; they actively shape pathogen biology.

Cutting out the φC31 prophage [PDF]

Molecular Microbiology, 2011
SummaryTo establish a lysogenic lifestyle, the temperate bacteriophage φC31 integrates its genome into the chromosome of its Streptomyces host, by site‐specific recombination between attP (the attachment site in the phage DNA) and attB (the chromosomal attachment site). This reaction is promoted by a phage‐encoded serine recombinase Int.

TisB enables antibiotic tolerance in Salmonella by preventing prophage induction through ATP depletion.

PLoS Pathogens
Persisters are phenotypically antibiotic-tolerant cells which can survive antibiotic exposure without acquiring antibiotic resistance. A proposed important factor in persistence is low intracellular ATP levels, which are thought to reduce the activity of

Genomic and taxonomic evaluation of 38 Treponema prophage sequences

BMC Genomics
Background Despite Spirochetales being a ubiquitous and medically important order of bacteria infecting both humans and animals, there is extremely limited information regarding their bacteriophages.

Exploring Viral Interactions in Clavibacter Species: In Silico Analysis of Prophage Prevalence and Antiviral Defenses

Life
Clavibacter is a phytopathogenic genus that causes severe diseases in economically important crops, yet the role of prophages in its evolution, pathogenicity, and adaptation remains poorly understood.

High-throughput screening reveals diverse lambdoid prophage inducers

Microbiology Spectrum
Prophages, dormant bacteriophage genomes integrated within the bacterial chromosome, play pivotal roles in shaping microbial communities when awakened. Our current understanding of prophage activation is largely shaped by a narrow set of traditional DNA ...
