• Staphylococcus aureus develops an alternative, ica-independent biofilm in the absence of the arlRS two-component system 

      Toledo Arana, Alejandro Upna Orcid; Merino, Nekane Upna; Vergara Irigaray, Marta Upna; Débarbouillé, Michel; Penadés, José R.; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo Upna Orcid (American Society for Microbiology, 2005)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      The biofilm formation capacity of Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates is considered an important virulence factor for the establishment of chronic infections. Environmental conditions affect the biofilm formation capacity ...
    • Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island DNA is packaged in particles composed of phage proteins 

      Tormo Más, María Ángeles; Ferrer, María Desamparados; Maiques, Elisa; Ubeda, Carles; Selva, Laura; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo Upna Orcid; Calvete, Juan J.; Novick, Richard P.; Penadés, José R. (American Society for Microbiology, 2008)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) have an intimate relationship with temperate staphylococcal phages. During phage growth, SaPIs are induced to replicate and are efficiently encapsidated into special small ...
    • A super-family of transcriptional activators regulates bacteriophage packaging and lysis in Gram-positive bacteria 

      Quiles Puchalt, Nuria; Tormo Más, María Ángeles; Campoy Sánchez, Susana; Toledo Arana, Alejandro Upna Orcid; Monedero, Vicente; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo Upna Orcid; Novick, Richard P.; Christie, Gail E.; Penadés, José R. (Oxford University Press, 2013)   Artículo / Artikulua  OpenAccess
      The propagation of bacteriophages and other mobile genetic elements requires exploitation of the phage mechanisms involved in virion assembly and DNA packaging. Here, we identified and characterized four different families ...
