This study shows that loss of type I restriction-modification methyltransferases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases fluoroquinolone persistence through enhanced SOS response and slower growth.

The paper defines the mechanism of the MANTIS defence system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing how dual ATPases couple self-modification to non-self restriction through adenine hemimethylation and cleavage.

The paper shows that removing genetic barriers from Pseudomonas aeruginosa hosts increases the diversity of recoverable phages, leading to the isolation of 69 new phages from clinical isolates.

This paper demonstrates that CbAgo from Clostridium butyricum can be used for targeted genomic DNA cleavage and recombineering by using plasmid-derived gDNAs.

The paper shows that bacterial Argonaute proteins assist in cell division in E. coli under topoisomerase inhibitor stress by processing DNA replication termination sites.
