AI Article Synopsis
- CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in most bacteria and archaea, helping them adjust to new environments.
- The study focused on identifying and characterizing CRISPR-Cas systems in a marine zoonotic pathogen, which is widely present and causes numerous clinical infections.
- Findings revealed that these systems are common in the examined pathogens, predominantly showing Type I-F configurations, suggesting their importance for survival and adaptation in marine environments.
Article Abstract
CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune mechanisms present in most prokaryotes that play an important role in the adaptation of bacteria and archaea to new environments. is a marine zoonotic pathogen with worldwide distribution, which accounts for the majority of clinical cases of infections. However, the characterization of CRISPR-Cas systems has not been well investigated yet. Through whole genome sequence analysis, we characterized the CRISPR-Cas systems in . Our results indicate that CRISPR-Cas systems are prevalent in , with the majority of strains containing the Type I-F system. This study provides new insights into the diversity and function of CRISPR-Cas systems in and highlights their potential role in the adaptation and survival of these marine pathogens.
