Mobilization of pathogenicity islands by Staphylococcus aureus strain Newman bacteriophages

AD Dearborn, T Dokland - Bacteriophage, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) are mobile genetic elements that
encode virulence factors and depend on helper phages for their mobilization. Such …

Structure and size determination of bacteriophage P2 and P4 procapsids: function of size responsiveness mutations

AD Dearborn, P Laurinmaki, P Chandramouli… - Journal of structural …, 2012 - Elsevier
Bacteriophage P4 is dependent on structural proteins supplied by a helper phage, P2, to
assemble infectious virions. Bacteriophage P2 normally forms an icosahedral capsid with T …

[图书][B] Scaffold-mediated size determination of bacteriophage capsids by mobile genetic elements

AD Dearborn - 2012 - search.proquest.com
Bacteriophage can mediate the transfer of unrelated mobile genetic elements (MGE) from a
carrier bacterial cell to the susceptible population around it. This transfer results in the …
