Bacterial type VI secretion system facilitates niche domination

Melanie Blokesch, Natalia Carolina Drebes Dorr

Over the last few decades humanity has experienced a series of tremendous technological advances, especially in the realm of basic science. A plethora of new approaches has allowed us to appreciate life in previously unimaginable detail, prompting the real ...

The potential impact of case-area targeted interventions in response to cholera outbreaks: A modeling study

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Flavio Finger

Background Cholera prevention and control interventions targeted to neighbors of cholera cases (case-area targeted interventions [CATIs]), including improved water, sanitation, and hygiene, oral cholera vaccine (OCV), and prophylactic antibiotics, may be a ...

DNA-uptake pilus of Vibrio cholerae capable of kin-discriminated auto-aggregation

Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann, Candice Stoudmann, David William Adams

Natural competence for transformation is a widely used and key mode of horizontal gene transfer that can foster rapid bacterial evolution. Competent bacteria take-up DNA from their environment using Type IV pili, a widespread and multi-purpose class of cel ...

Interbacterial predation as a strategy for DNA acquisition in naturally competent bacteria

Melanie Blokesch

Natural competence enables bacteria to take up exogenous DNA. The evolutionary function of natural competence remains controversial, as imported DNA can act as a source of substrates or can be integrated into the genome. Exogenous homologous DNA can also b ...

Regulation of competence-mediated horizontal gene transfer in the natural habitat of Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Lisa Christina Metzger

The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae is an autochthonous inhabitant of aquatic environments where it often interacts with zooplankton and their chitinous molts. Chitin induces natural competence for transformation in V. cholerae, a key mode of horizontal gen ...

Circulation of a Quorum-Sensing-Impaired Variant of Vibrio cholerae Strain C6706 Masks Important Phenotypes

Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann

Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, is a model organism for studying virulence regulation, biofilm formation, horizontal gene transfer, and the cell-to-cell communication known as quorum sensing (QS). As in any research field, discrepancies be ...

Independent Regulation of Type VI Secretion in Vibrio cholerae by TfoX and TfoY

Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann, Noémie Matthey, Lisa Christina Metzger, Tiziana Scrignari, Charles Ulric V Van der Henst

Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) are nanomachines used for interbacterial killing and intoxication of eukaryotes. Although Vibrio cholerae is a model organism for structural studies on T6SSs, the underlying regulatory network is less understood. A recent ...

The DNA-Uptake Process of Naturally Competent Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Noémie Matthey

The sophisticated DNA-uptake machinery used during natural transformation is still poorly characterized, especially in Gram-negative bacteria where the transforming DNA has to cross two membranes as well as the peptidoglycan layer before entering into the ...
