Systematic evaluation of phenotypic variations induced by prophages in a clinical isolate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

mSystems
With the rise of antibiotic resistance, nosocomial infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa present a significant challenge to healthcare systems. Prophages integrated into bacterial chromosomes play a key role in generating phenotypic and genotypic ...

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 ...

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.

Recent advances in noncanonical inhibition mechanisms of anti‐CRISPR proteins

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 133-147, April 2026.
Abstract The CRISPR‐Cas system constitutes an adaptive immune mechanism in prokaryotes that defends against mobile genetic elements. Within the perpetual co‐evolutionary arms race between bacteria and their viral predators, bacteriophages encode anti‐CRISPR (Acr) proteins that use sophisticated molecular strategies to sabotage CRISPR‐Cas function ...

Overexpression of Escherichia coli yaiX Confers Multidrug Resistance and Enhances Virulence in the Silkworm Infection Model

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 193-205, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The emergence of bacteria with both antimicrobial resistance and high virulence has become a global health concern, underscoring the urgent need to elucidate the molecular basis underlying these traits. Here, we employed the silkworm (Bombyx mori) infection model, which is suitable for high‐throughput screening, together with an Escherichia ...

Evolutionary History of Bacteriophages in the Genus Paraburkholderia

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The genus Paraburkholderia encompasses mostly environmental isolates with diverse predicted lifestyles. Genome analyses have shown that bacteriophages form a considerable portion of some Paraburkholderia genomes.

Hi‐C Links Reveal Viral Activity and Infection Within the Free‐Living Microbial Community of a Secondary Chlorophyll Maximum in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Hi‐C sequencing was used to link viral sequences with microbial metagenome assembled genomes in the largely uncultivated waters of an oxygen‐deficient zone's secondary chlorophyll maximum within the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Ocean. ABSTRACT Oxygen‐deficient zones (ODZs) influence global nitrogen cycling as key sites for the removal of bioavailable

Repression of YdaS Toxin Is Mediated by Transcriptional Repressor RacR in the Cryptic rac Prophage of Escherichia coli K-12

mSphere, 2017
Horizontal gene transfer is a major driving force behind the genomic diversity seen in prokaryotes. The cryptic rac prophage in Escherichia coli K-12 carries the gene for a putative transcription factor RacR, whose deletion is lethal.

Differential Analysis of IAA Anabolism Pathway Based on Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus safensis Genome

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Three Bacillus species isolated from Platycladus orientalis rhizosphere in Taihang Mountains: Bacillus cereus has 3 IAA synthesis pathways (TAM, IAM, IPyA); Bacillus subtilis has IAM/IPyA; and Bacillus safensis only has IPyA (via whole‐genome sequencing).
