Unwelcome neighbours: Tracking the transmission of Streptococcus equi in the United Kingdom horse population

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 533-548, March 2026.
Abstract Background Strangles (Streptococcus equi infection) remains endemic in the UK, with ~300 laboratory diagnoses annually. Sub‐clinically infected long‐term carriers are considered a key driver of endemicity. Analysing genomes of circulating strains could provide valuable transmission insights of this pathogen.

Causes and consequences of bacterial local adaptation via MGEs in the plant microbiome

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2215-2223, March 2026.
Summary Adaptations that enable plant‐associated bacteria to fill disparate niches comprise a critical component of microbial diversity. Genes that confer locally adaptive bacterial traits, ranging from heavy metal resistance to pathogen or symbiont infectivity, often reside within mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can move between genomes.

Prophages and satellite prophages are widespread in Streptococcus and may play a role in pneumococcal pathogenesis

Nature Communications, 2019
Prophages are viral genomes integrated within bacterial genomes. Here, Rezaei Javan et al. identify nearly 800 prophages and satellite prophages in > 1300 Streptococcus genomes, and show that a satellite prophage is associated with virulence in a mouse ...

A universe of human gut-derived bacterial prophages: unveiling the hidden viral players in intestinal microecology

Gut Microbes
Prophages, which are an existing form of temperate phages that integrate into host genomes, have been found extensively present in diverse bacterial species. The human gut microbiome, characterized by its complexity, dynamism, and interconnectivity among

DNA Sequence Heterogeneity of Campylobacter jejuni CJIE4 Prophages and Expression of Prophage Genes

PLoS ONE, 2014
Campylobacter jejuni carry temperate bacteriophages that can affect the biology or virulence of the host bacterium. Known effects include genomic rearrangements and resistance to DNA transformation. C. jejuni prophage CJIE1 shows sequence variability and variability in the content of morons.
