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.

Distinct prophage gene profiles of Staphylococcus aureus strains from atopic dermatitis patients and healthy individuals

Microbiology Spectrum
Staphylococcus aureus strains exhibit varying associations with atopic dermatitis (AD), but the genetic determinants underpinning the pathogenicity are yet to be fully characterized. To reveal the genetic differences between S.

Pathogenomic Characterization of Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Strains Carrying Wide Efflux-Associated and Virulence Genes from the Dairy Farm Environment in Xinjiang, China

Antibiotics
Background/Objectives: Livestock species, particularly dairy animals, can serve as important reservoirs of E. coli, carrying antibiotic resistance and virulence genes under constant selective pressure and their spread in the environment.

Exploring Viral Interactions in Clavibacter Species: In Silico Analysis of Prophage Prevalence and Antiviral Defenses

Life
Clavibacter is a phytopathogenic genus that causes severe diseases in economically important crops, yet the role of prophages in its evolution, pathogenicity, and adaptation remains poorly understood.
