The effect of a temperature-sensitive prophage on the evolution of virulence in an opportunistic bacterial pathogen

M. Bruneaux, R. Ashrafi, I. Kronholm, E. Laanto, A.-M. Örmälä-Odegrip, J. A. Galarza, Z. Chen, M. Kubendran Sumathi, T. Ketola

This study examines how temperature-sensitive prophages influence virulence evolution in Serratia marcescens through genetic and epigenetic changes.

Roles of adenine methylation and genetic mutations in adaptation to different temperatures in Serratia marcescens

M. Bruneaux, I. Kronholm, R. Ashrafi, T. Ketola

This study investigates the roles of adenine methylation and genetic mutations in Serratia marcescens adaptation to different temperatures using experimental evolution and single molecule real-time sequencing.

Bacteriophage Resistance Affects Flavobacterium columnare Virulence Partly via Mutations in Genes Related to Gliding Motility and Type IX Secretion System

H. M. Kunttu, A. Runtuvuori-Salmela, K. Sundell, T. Wiklund, M. Middelboe, L. Landor, R. Ashrafi, V. Hoikkala, L.-R. Sundberg

This study shows that phage resistance in Flavobacterium columnare reduces virulence, making phage therapy viable for treating columnaris disease in aquaculture.

Bacteriophage adherence to mucus mediates preventive protection against pathogenic bacteria

G. M. Almeida, E. Laanto, R. Ashrafi, L.-R. Sundberg

This study shows bacteriophages can bind to mucus and protect fish from bacterial infections, suggesting mucus interactions are important for phage-bacteria dynamics and potential phage therapy.
