AI Article Synopsis
- Photorhabdus asymbiotica is a type of bacteria that can infect both insects and humans, making it different from other bacteria in its genus.
- This bacterium has been found in clinical samples, indicating its ability to cause infections in humans.
- Recent research on its genetics and interactions with human cells is helping scientists understand how it adapts to living in the human body.
Article Abstract
Photorhabdus asymbiotica is unique among the entomopathogenic bacteria of this genus in also being able to infect humans, leading to its isolation from some clinical samples. Recent comparative genomics data and the results of studies of interactions between bacteria and cells provide insight into the adaptation of this bacterium to its new niche, the human body.
