Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 4, July 2026.This review explores how Fusobacterium nucleatum extracellular vesicles drive local oral diseases and distal pathologies via sophisticated cross‐compartment cross talk. It highlights the transformative potential of these “tiny carriers” as next‐generation molecular intermediaries for advanced health monitoring and innovative bio‐interventions by ...

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Anti‐CRISPR (Acr) proteins are phage‐encoded anti‐defense factors that suppress CRISPR‐Cas immunity in bacteria. AcrIIA8 was previously identified as an inhibitor of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpyCas9) through functional assays of metagenomic libraries. Here, we report that AcrIIA8 does not inhibit SpyCas9 in biochemical assays under a range

Frontiers in MicrobiologyProphages, viruses integrated into bacterial or archaeal genomes, can carry cargo that confers beneficial phenotypes to the host. The porcine gut microbiota constitutes a complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem, yet the distribution of prophages ...

A prophage-encoded abortive infection protein preserves host and prophage spread
NatureMost bacterial pathogens are polylysogens, harbouring multiple vertically transmitted prophages1-3. These prophages enhance bacterial pathogenicity and survival by encoding virulence factors and anti-phage defence systems while retaining the capacity for horizontal transfer.

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.

Bacteriophages Contribute to Shaping Clostridioides (Clostridium) difficile Species
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Bacteriophages (phages) are bacterial viruses that parasitize bacteria. They are highly prevalent in nature, with an estimated 1031 viral particles in the whole biosphere, and they outnumber bacteria by at least 10-fold. Hence, phages represent important
