Campylobacter prophage diversity reveals pervasive recombination between prophages from different Campylobacter species

Microbiology Spectrum
Prophages, bacteriophages integrated into bacterial genomes, play a critical role in the genetic diversity and evolution of bacterial species. In this study, we investigated the prophage population harbored in Campylobacter species.

Sequence variability of Campylobacter temperate bacteriophages

BMC Microbiology, 2008
Background Prophages integrated within the chromosomes of Campylobacter jejuni isolates have been demonstrated very recently. Prior work with Campylobacter temperate bacteriophages, as well as evidence from prophages in other enteric bacteria, suggests ...

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Cold-Water Coral-Derived Sulfitobacter faviae: Insights into Their Habitat Adaptation and Metabolism

Marine Drugs, 2023
Sulfitobacter is one of the major sulfite-oxidizing alphaproteobacterial groups and is often associated with marine algae and corals. Their association with the eukaryotic host cell may have important ecological contexts due to their complex lifestyle ...

Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198—A Promising Strain for Studying Pathogenesis of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM‐PD)

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this review, we introduce a promising strain for studying pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD), Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198. M.i.198 was isolated from a patient with progressive Mycobacterium avium‐intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC‐PD) in whom surgical operation was required to ...

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.

Construction of an IS-Free Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13 032 Chassis Strain and Random Mutagenesis Using the Endogenous ISCg1 Transposase

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) contribute to instability of the host genome and plasmids. Previously, removal of the prophages in the industrial amino acid producer Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13 032 resulted in strain MB001 which showed better ...

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.

Spontaneous Prophage Induction Contributes to the Production of Membrane Vesicles by the Gram-Positive Bacterium Lacticaseibacillus casei BL23

mBio, 2022
The formation of membrane vesicles (MVs) by Gram-positive bacteria has gained increasing attention over the last decade. Recently, models of vesicle formation have been proposed and involve the digestion of the cell wall by prophage-encoded or stress ...

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 ...

Oral Phageome as Potential Modulators of Periodontal Dysbiosis. A Systematic Review

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The oral phageome, comprising bacteriophages inhabiting the oral cavity, has been proposed as a potential modulator of periodontal health and disease. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on interactions between bacteriophages, key periodontal bacteria, and the host in periodontitis.
