Abstract:
Proteus mirabilis, a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae, is a common cause of urinary tract infections. Phages infecting Proteus mirabilis could be used as therapeutics to treat infections caused by this bacterium. This announcement describes the complete genome sequence of the T5-like P. mirabilis phage Stubb.

Bacteriophages, or phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria, utilizing their genetic material to hijack host cellular machinery for replication. DNA bacteriophages employ single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) or double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genomes. These phages exhibit diverse replication strategies and host interactions, influencing their ecological roles and applications in biotechnology and medicine.ssDNA BacteriophagesssDNA phages, with their small genomes, utilize unique strategies to...

01:26Bacterial Phylum Verrucomicrobiota
461
The phylum Verrucomicrobiota comprises at least four characterized orders, with most species classified within the order Verrucomicrobiotales. Members of this phylum are either aerobic or facultatively aerobic, with the ability to ferment sugars. A notable exception is the genus Methylacidiphilum, which consists of aerobic methanotrophs. Additionally, some Verrucomicrobiota establish symbiotic relationships with protists. These bacteria are widely distributed across various environments,...
