Sensitization of bacteria to danofloxacin by temperate prophages.
Danofloxacin (CP-76,136) is in a class of agents that inhibit DNA gyrase and trigger induction of the SOS response and temperate bacteriophages. Killing studies against the bovine pathogen Pasteurella haemolytica demonstrated that danofloxacin exhibits particularly rapid killing kinetics. Here, lysogenic Escherichia coli bearing lambda is found to be more sensitive to danofloxacin than nonlysog...
متن کاملPervasive domestication of defective prophages by bacteria.
Integrated phages (prophages) are major contributors to the diversity of bacterial gene repertoires. Domestication of their components is thought to have endowed bacteria with molecular systems involved in secretion, defense, warfare, and gene transfer. However, the rates and mechanisms of domestication remain unknown. We used comparative genomics to study the evolution of prophages within the ...
متن کاملCryptic prophages help bacteria cope with adverse environments
Phages are the most abundant entity in the biosphere and outnumber bacteria by a factor of 10. Phage DNA may also constitute 20% of bacterial genomes; however, its role is ill defined. Here, we explore the impact of cryptic prophages on cell physiology by precisely deleting all nine prophage elements (166 kbp) using Escherichia coli. We find that cryptic prophages contribute significantly to re...
متن کاملSensitization of Gram-negative bacteria to rifampin and OAK combinations
While individually inefficient against Gram-negative bacteria, in-vitro combinations of rifampin and OAK were mutually synergistic since sub-minimal inhibitory concentrations of one compound have potentiated the other by 2-4 orders of magnitude. Synergy persisted in-vivo as single-dose systemic treatment of Klebsiella infected mice resulted in 10-20% versus 60% survival, respectively accomplish...
