RinA controls phage-mediated packaging and transfer of virulence genes in gram-positive bacteria
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Phage-mediated transfer of microbial genetic elements plays a crucial role in bacterial life style and evolution. In this study, we identify the RinA family of phage-encoded proteins as activators required for transcription ...
Moonlighting bacteriophage proteins derepress staphylococcal pathogenicity islands
(Nature Research, 2010)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Staphylococcal superantigen-carrying pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) are discrete, chromosomally integrated units of ∼15 kilobases that are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate. SaPI DNA is then efficiently ...
Beta-lactam antibiotics induce the SOS response and horizontal transfer of virulence factors in Staphylococcus aureus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2006)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Antibiotics that interfere with DNA replication and cell viability activate the SOS response. In Staphylococcus
aureus, the antibiotic-induced SOS response promotes replication and high-frequency horizontal transfer ...
