Timely excision of prophage Φ13 is essential for the Staphylococcus aureus infectious process

Infection and Immunity
Mobile genetic elements play an essential part in the infectious process of major pathogens, yet the role of prophage dynamics in Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis is still not well understood.

Isolation of Extracellular Vesicles From Gram‐Negative Bacteria: A Solid Medium‐Based Method Analysis

Journal of Extracellular Biology, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by gram‐negative bacteria have gained increased scientific interest over the last years due to a growing understanding of their roles in pathogenesis and biotechnological potential. However, isolating such nanoparticles is technically challenging. Here, we evaluated a rapid and reproducible protocol for EV

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 ...

Transcriptome analysis of Listeria monocytogenes exposed to biocide stress reveals a multi-system response involving cell wall synthesis, sugar uptake, and motility [PDF]

, 2014
peer-reviewedListeria monocytogenes is a virulent food-borne pathogen most often associated with the consumption of “ready-to-eat” foods. The organism is a common contaminant of food processing plants where it may persist for extended periods of time.

Whole‐Genome Sequence Profiling of Listeria innocua From Different Sources: Implications for Public Health

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The studied strains, LIN_NWU_CNKT and LIN5_NWU_CNKT, exhibit invasiveness, pathogenicity, and MDR profiles. The isolation of these strains from food products and water underscores their significant public health implications, particularly in the context of the “One Health” concept.

Of Commensals and Opportunists: Genomics of Coagulase‐Negative Staphylococci During Sequential Ear and Eye Infections in a Healthy Adult

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
The genomes of coagulase‐negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated during sequential ear and eye infections in a healthy adult are analyzed. We highlight the identification of a community‐acquired S. capitis subsp. urealyticus ST1 lineage carrying a mosaic SCCmec IV element, linking common skin commensals to multidrug‐resistant strains associated with ...

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 ...

A Gapless, Unambiguous Genome Sequence of the Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 Strain EDL933. [PDF]

, 2014
Escherichia coli EDL933 is the prototypic strain for enterohemorrhagic E. coli serotype O157:H7, associated with deadly food-borne outbreaks. Because the publicly available sequence of the EDL933 genome has gaps and >6,000 ambiguous base calls, we ...
