Like many eukaryotes, bacteria make widespread use of postreplicative DNA methylation for
the epigenetic control of DNA-protein interactions. Unlike eukaryotes, however, bacteria use …

Epigenetics is a change in gene expression that is heritable without a change in DNA
sequence itself. This phenomenon is well studied in eukaryotes, particularly in humans for …

Methylation of DNA by the DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam) provides an epigenetic
signal that influences and regulates numerous physiological processes in the bacterial cell …

Caenorhabditis elegans is a model organism for the study of different molecular,
biochemical, microbial and immunity-related mechanisms. In its natural habitat, C. elegans …

A good understanding of how microbes interact with hosts has a direct bearing on our
capability of fighting infectious microbial pathogens and making good use of beneficial ones …

In prokaryotes, alteration in gene expression was observed with the modification of DNA,
especially DNA methylation. Such changes are inherited from generation to generation with …

The design of multiscale strategies integrating in vitro and in vivo models is necessary for
the selection of new probiotics. In this regard, we developed a screening assay based on the …

ABSTRACT DNA adenine methyltransferase (Dam) not only regulates basic cellular
functions but also interferes with the proper expression of virulence factors in various …

We previously reported a distinct methylome between the two Shiga toxin-producing
Escherichia coli (STEC) O145: H28 strains linked to the 2010 US lettuce-associated …

An outbreak-causing strain of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium was exposed to
groundwater with residual antibiotics for up to four weeks. Representative concentrations …
