Genomic Analysis Points to Multiple Genetic Mechanisms for Non-Transformable Campylobacter jejuni ST-50

Parker, C. T., Villafuerte, D. A., Miller, W. G., Huynh, S., Chapman, M. H., Hanafy, Z., … Kathariou, S. (2024, February 4). Microorganisms.

By: C. Parker *, D. Villafuerte n, W. Miller *, S. Huynh *, M. Chapman*, Z. Hanafy n, J. Jackson n, M. Miller n, S. Kathariou n

author keywords: Campylobacter; transformation; antimicrobial resistance
topics (OpenAlex): Salmonella and Campylobacter epidemiology; Viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology; Bacteriophages and microbial interactions
TL;DR: The results reveal genetic associations leading to a non-transformable state among C. jejuni ST-50 strains, including functional DNase genes from bacteriophages and mutations within the cts-encoded DNA-uptake system, which impact the initial steps of the DNA uptake during natural transformation.

Differences in the Propensity of Different Antimicrobial Resistance Determinants to Be Disseminated via Transformation in Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli

Hanafy, Z., Osborne, J. A., Miller, W. G., Parker, C. T., Olson, J. W., Jackson, J. H., & Kathariou, S. (2022, June 10). Microorganisms, Vol. 10.

By: Z. Hanafy n, J. Osborne n, W. Miller *, C. Parker *, J. Olson n , J. Jackson n, S. Kathariou n

author keywords: antimicrobial resistance; AMR; Campylobacter; transformation
topics (OpenAlex): Salmonella and Campylobacter epidemiology; Viral gastroenteritis research and epidemiology; Vibrio bacteria research studies
TL;DR: Findings from this experimental model provide insights into factors that may impact transformation-mediated transfer of AMR leading to AMR dissemination in the agricultural ecosystem. (via Semantic Scholar)

Lee, S., Parsons, C., Chen, Y., Hanafy, Z., Brown, E., & Kathariou, S. (2021, April 11). Biomolecules.

By: S. Lee *, C. Parsons n, Y. Chen *, Z. Hanafy n, E. Brown* & S. Kathariou n

author keywords: Listeria welshimeri; Listeria genomic island 2 (LGI2); LGI2-3; heavy metal resistance; arsenic; cadmium
MeSH headings : Arsenic / toxicity; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / metabolism; Cadmium / toxicity; Drug Resistance, Bacterial; Genomic Islands; Listeria / drug effects; Listeria / genetics; Lyases / genetics; Lyases / metabolism
topics (OpenAlex): Listeria monocytogenes in Food Safety; Microbial Inactivation Methods; Food Safety and Hygiene
TL;DR: A novel LGI2 variant is described, LGI-3, in two L. welshimeri strains from an urban aquatic environment and intriguing hypotheses on the genetic diversity mediated by this island and its transfer among Listeria spp. (via Semantic Scholar)
