Outer membrane vesicles derived from Klebsiella pneumoniae are a driving force for horizontal gene transfer

F. Dell'Annunziata, C. DellAversana, N. Doti, G. Donadio, F. Dal Piaz, V. Izzo, A. De Filippis, M. Galdiero, L. Altucci, G. Boccia, M. Galdiero, V. Folliero, G. Franci

This study shows that Klebsiella pneumoniae outer membrane vesicles facilitate horizontal gene transfer of plasmids containing resistance genes, with transfer efficiency dependent on plasmid copy number and effective across multiple species.

DNA Mutations via Chern-Simons Current

F. Bajardi, L. Altucci, R. Benedetti, S. Capozziello, M. R. Del Sorbo, G. Franci, C. Altucci

The paper uses Chern-Simons theory to analyze DNA curvature and mutation positions in KRAS and COVID-19 sequences, finding mutations correlate with high curvature gradients and smoother post-mutation curvature.
