Bacteria host various foreign genetic elements, most notably plasmids and bacteriophages
(or phages). Historically, these two classes were seen as separate, but recent research has …

The evolutionary arms race between bacteria and phages led to the emergence of bacterial
immune systems whose diversity and dynamics remain poorly understood. Here we use …

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is an emerging opportunistic pathogen that
exhibits resistant to a majority of commonly used antibiotics. Phages have the potential to …

The diversity of phage-related sequences (PRSs) and their site-specific integration into the
genomes of nonpathogenic, agriculturally valuable, nitrogen-fixing root nodule bacteria …

The increasing prevalence of drug-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) resulting from the
excessive utilization of antibiotics necessitates the immediate exploration of alternative …

Bacteria are found in ongoing conflicts with rivals and predators, which lead to an
evolutionary arms race and the development of innate and adaptive immune systems …

In this opinion, we discuss the role of tRNAs in phage biology and their importance in DNA
replication and phage‐host interactions. Phages are a diverse group of obligate bacterial …

Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (PDD) is a pathogenic bacterium that affects
both marine animals and humans. It poses a significant problem for aquaculture and a threat …

Bacillus subtilis, a key microorganism in food fermentation, is frequently compromised by
phage contamination, which can result in fermentation failures. Therefore, understanding …
