Bacteria Eaters: The “Twort-d’Hérelle Phenomenon” by John Emrich and Charles Richter December 2021 Two decades after diphtheria antitoxin became a clinical success at the end of the 19th century, greatly reducing death from the disease, especially among young children, a new phenomenon with claims of vast therapeutic potential against bacterial infections burst onto the scene. The…

A new base editing method edits a particular bacterium within a community while the rest of the microbiome remains unchanged. The technology enables studies to better understand the genetic basis of key bacterial interactions with plants and other microbes within the context of a controlled ecosystem. The proof-of-concept study could be used to alter members in a variety of complex microbial…

Mashup Score: 0Reassembling a cannon in the DNA defense arsenal: Genetics of StySA, a BREX phage exclusion system in Salmonella lab strains - 2 year(s) ago
Author summary Horizontal gene transfer is a major driver of evolution and adaptation in bacteria. Genes from outside may be beneficial or dangerous to the receiving cell. Benefits include new food sources such as sugars, or new homes by adhesion, or new resistances, as to antibiotics. Dangers are posed by bacteriophages–viruses that take over the cell machinery, multiply, and release progeny to…
