KEYWORDS E. coli adaptive mutation clonal evolution sepsis transcriptional regulator urinary tract infection INTRODUCTION In bacteria, adaptive diversification, the fundamental phenomenon underlying evolution, is driven by gene transfer or mutation. Studies involving the experimental...

    ...ABSTRACT Bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are composed of two major subfamilies, conjugation machines dedicated to DNA transfer and effector translocators for protein transfer. We show here that the Escherichia coli pKM101-encoded conjugation system, coupled with chimeric substrate receptors...

    ...1324 in S. Typhimurium in upregulation of rdar biofilm formation also indicates 443 that these EAL-only proteins can readily acquire biological significance, when horizontally 444 transferred. Indeed, several of the EAL-only proteins of E. coli are found on plasmids (Fig. S4). An 445 additional group...

    ...as well as Tn insertions at sites 1.4 kb to 50 kb upstream or downstream of the integration site were used as donors. No evidence for mobilization of chromosomal DNA was obtained (Table 1). Using the mock wild-type strain as a donor, ICE6013 was tested for its ability to transfer to a variety of S. aureus...

    ...exclusively limited to gene loss and transfer of prophage DNA. Only non-phage chromosomal genes acquired after the emergence of the serovar are linked to the genomic islands harboring multi-drug resistance factors. Since the fitness factors could lead to increased virulence, this poses an important research...

    ...communities. It is unclear how social interactions shape biofilm evolution and how evolution in structured environments shift the balance between competition and mutualism. Long-term serial transfer experiments provide a key approach to fill this gap. Experimental evolution allows studying adaptation under...
