Journal ArticleDOI
Fitness costs of various mobile genetic elements in Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis
Irina Starikova,Mohammed Al-Haroni,Guido Werner,Adam P. Roberts,Vidar Sørum,Kaare Magne Nielsen,Pål Jarle Johnsen +6 more
TL;DR: Newly acquired MGEs may impose an immediate biological cost in E. faecium, but as demonstrated for vanA plasmids, the initial costs of MGE carriage may be mitigated during growth and beneficial plasmid–host association can rapidly emerge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential expression of plasma miRNAs in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism and healthy control individuals
Irina Starikova,Irina Starikova,Simin Jamaly,Antonio Sorrentino,Thorarinn Blondal,Nadezhda Latysheva,Mikhail A. Sovershaev,John-Bjarne Hansen,John-Bjarne Hansen +8 more
TL;DR: The results of this pilot study indicate that plasma miRNAs profiling can provide novel biomarkers of unprovoked VTE.
Journal ArticleDOI
A trade-off between the fitness cost of functional integrases and long-term stability of integrons.
Irina Starikova,Klaus Harms,Pål Haugen,Tracy Tamara Munthali Lunde,Raul Primicerio,Ørjan Samuelsen,Kaare Magne Nielsen,Pål Jarle Johnsen +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that environmental fluctuations and episodic selection is necessary for the maintenance of functional integrases in bacterial populations and a trade-off between the ability to capture gene cassettes and long-term stability of integrons is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low biological cost of carbapenemase-encoding plasmids following transfer from Klebsiella pneumoniae to Escherichia coli.
Maria Chiara Di Luca,Vidar Sørum,Irina Starikova,Julia Maria Kloos,Nils Hülter,Umaer Naseer,Pål Jarle Johnsen,Ørjan Samuelsen +7 more
TL;DR: The low to modest fitness cost of newly acquired and stably maintained carbapenemase-encoding plasmids in E. coli indicates a potential for establishment and further dissemination into other Enterobacteriaceae species and shows that the fitness cost is both plasmid and host specific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual isolation in Acinetobacter baylyi is locus-specific and varies 10,000-fold over the genome.
Jessica L. Ray,Klaus Harms,Odd-Gunnar Wikmark,Irina Starikova,Pål Jarle Johnsen,Kaare Magne Nielsen +5 more
TL;DR: These studies suggest that single-locus-based studies, and inference of transfer frequencies from general estimates of genomic sequence divergence, is insufficient to predict the recombination potential of chromosomal DNA fragments between more divergent genomes.
