Clostridium perfringens is the causative agent of a number of human diseases, such as gas gangrene and food poisoning, and many diseases of animals. Recently significant advances have been made in the development of C. perfringens genetics. Studies on bact ...
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis has been used to assess genomic diversity and to identify virulence regions in 10 strains, representing all five serotypes, of the anaerobic pathogen Clostridium perfringens. Detailed physical and gene maps of the approxima ...
Cephalosporin hyper-resistant Enterobacter cloacae strains are isolated with increasing frequency from hospital infections. Resistance is principally due to the chromosomal ampC gene encoding a cephalosporinase. In contrast to Escherichia coli which expres ...
Natural competence for transformation is a primary mode of horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Competent bacteria are able to absorb free DNA from their surroundings and exchange this DNA against pieces of their own genome when sufficiently homologous. And whi ...
Bacteria of the genus Vibrio are common members of aquatic environments where they compete with other prokaryotes and defend themselves against grazing predators. A macromolecular protein complex called the type VI secretion system (T6SS) is used for both ...
The replication functions of the bacteriocinogenic plasmid pIP404, from Clostridium perfringens, were localized to a 2.8-kb EcoRI-EcoRV fragment by cloning into a vector deficient for replication in Bacillus subtilis. This fragment contains two genes, cop ...
Clostridium perfringens strain CPN50 harbours a 10.2 kb plasmid known as pIP404 which, in addition to a set of UV-inducible genes involved in bacteriocin production, carries res, a gene probably encoding a site-specific recombinase. The RES protein is high ...
Beta-lactam antibiotics are commonly used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Gram-negative bacteria have evolved several resistance mechanisms including altered permeability and beta-lactamase production. New trends in resistance are emerging amon ...
The 325-residue OmpA protein is one of the major outer membrane proteins of Escherichia coli. It serves as the receptor for several T-even-like phages and is required for the action of certain colicins and for the stabilization of mating aggregates in conj ...
Two types of fumarate reductase transducing phages, lambda frdA, carrying the wild-type frdA gene but differing in the orientation of a R.HindIII fragment of bacterial DNA were isolated from populations of recombinant transducing phages by their ability to ...
