Analyses of RNA-Seq data from two related virulent bacteriophages, PAK_P3 and PAK_P4 infecting the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The capacity to rapidly and accurately identify virulent strains of C. difficile in order to prevent severe and fatal infections remains a major chal- lenge for clinicians and investigators. Also, the evolution of an […]

In bacteria, it is increasingly recognized that ncRNAs play a critical role in adaptive responses and in various metabolic, physiological and pathogenic processes. In Clostridium difficile, by combining in silico analysis, RNAseq and genome-wide […]

Biofilms are universal traits of bacteria defined as mixed species communities characterized by high cell density, reduced diffusion and heterogeneous structures. These characteristics induce behaviors and phenotype that are not observed in planktonic microorganisms […]

Clostridium difficile, a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium, is a major cause of nosocomial infections such as antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Spores are the vector of its transmission and persistence in the environment. Despite the importance of […]

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common and serious gastrointestinal disorder among preterm neonates. We aimed to assess specific gut microbes associated with NEC. In 2002, an outbreak of NEC occurred in six neonates within […]

We have used directional RNA-sequencing and complementary assays to explore the SigmaS-dependent transcriptome of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. This study confirms the large regulatory scope of SigmaS and provides insights into its physiological functions […]

The variable spectrum of diseases caused by C. difficile (CD) is correlated for the severe forms to the level of toxins produced during host infection. This strengthened the idea that regulation of toxin synthesis […]

Clostridium difficile is increasingly associated with infections in hospitals and in the community, and hypervirulent types are emerging. Six research groups from 5 countries undertook this project, aiming to use genomic approaches to study […]

Bacteriophages are the most abundant viruses on earth and display an impressive genetic as well as morphologic diversity. Among those, the most common order of phages is the Caudovirales, whose viral particles packages linear […]

COV2HTML is an interactive web interface, which is addressed to biologists, and allows performing both coverage visualization and analysis of NGS alignments performed on prokaryotic organisms (bacteria and phages). It combines two processes: a […]
