Abstract. Interactions between bacteria, bacteriophages, and their satellites are shaped by a myriad of defence and counter-defence mechanisms. Here, we id

Bacteria and archaea encode on average ten antiphage systems. Quorum sensing, cellular, or transcription factors can regulate specific systems (CRISPR-Cas, CBASS). Yet, a systematic assessment of anti...

Abstract. Peptide deformylases (PDFs) are enzymes that are essential for bacterial viability and attractive targets for antibiotic development. Yet, despit

Abstract. Integrons act as biobanks of gene cassettes conferring functions crucial for bacterial defense, including protection against phages and antibioti

Les aminosides sont des antibiotiques efficaces contre de très nombreuses bactéries telles que Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ou Staphylococcus aureus. Mais jusqu’à présent, personne ne sava...

In this review, Vaysset and Bernheim examine how nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a key player in diverse and widespread bacterial antiphage defense systems and phage counterdefense. The au...

Nature Communications - Here, the authors perform metagenomic analysis of honeybee gut microbes, uncovering many previously unidentified species and host specific differences in composition and...

Only a fraction of bacterial genomes encode CRISPR-Cas systems but the selective causes of this variation are unexplained. How naturally virulent bacteriophages (phages) select for CRISPR immunity has...

Un pan de la recherche en génomique se propose d'étudier les bactéries, ces micro-organismes développent des mécanismes de défense particulièrement intéressants.

Abstract. Natural transformation is the only process of gene exchange under the exclusive control of the recipient bacteria. It has often been considered a

New to UdeM and flush with an $8M, federally funded research chair, microbiologist Frédérique Le Roux looks to solve the problem of infectious diseases of bacterial origin in farmed marine species.

Integrons are genetic systems that drive bacterial adaptation by acquiring, expressing, and shuffling gene cassettes. While mobile integrons are well known for spreading antibiotic resistance genes, t...
