Epigenetic Modifications of Host Genes Induced by Bacterial Infection
Introduction: Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or coordinate cellular responses to external stimulus. While epigenetics is of fundamental importance in eukaryotes, it plays a different role in bacteria. This article uncovers the most important recent data on how bacteria can alter epigenetic marks and can also contribute t...
متن کاملFrequency and Fitness Consequences of Bacteriophage Φ6 Host Range Mutations
Viruses readily mutate and gain the ability to infect novel hosts, but few data are available regarding the number of possible host range-expanding mutations allowing infection of any given novel host, and the fitness consequences of these mutations on original and novel hosts. To gain insight into the process of host range expansion, we isolated and sequenced 69 independent mutants of the dsRN...
متن کاملLysogeny and bacteriophage host range within the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
The Burkholderia cepacia complex comprises a group of nine closely related species that have emerged as life-threatening pulmonary pathogens in immunocompromised patients, particularly individuals with cystic fibrosis or chronic granulomatous disease. Attempts to explain the genomic plasticity, adaptability and virulence of the complex have paid little attention to bacteriophages, particularly ...
متن کاملHost-induced modifications of viruses.
Viruses exhibit extensive adaptability to growth in various hosts or tissues. It was widely held in the past that virus adaptability reflected a peculiar plasticity of virus heredity, which allowed it to be directly influenced by its host cells. The alternative interpretation of virus adaptation to new host cells as due to spontaneous mutations, which provide a range of genotypes for the new ho...
متن کاملBacteriophage typing of Salmonella. I. Isolation and host range study of bacteriophages.
A series of bacteriophages, lytic for bacteria belonging to the genera Escherichia and Salmonella, were isolated. The phages were isolated from fecal samples, intestinal contents of turkey poults, and carrier cultures of S. typhimurium, S. typhimurium var copenhagen, S. heidelberg, and E. coli. The feasibility of using different habitats as sources of Salmonella phages was evaluated. The carrie...
