Proteomics insight into phosphate limitation response in Burkholderia phytopathogens
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) limitation is a pervasive environmental constraint that shapes microbial behaviour in soil and plant-associated niches. To determine how Pi scarcity influences the pathogenic potential of rice-infecting Burkholde...

Genomic characterization of bla KPC transmission via Tn4401a and Tn4401l transposons across Enterobacteriaceae and ESKAPE in Ecuador
Carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae poses a major threat to public health because of the limited therapeutic options. The dissemination of the bla KPC gene, which encodes KPC carbapenemases, typically occurs through Tn 4401 trans...

In vitro characterization of Bacillus sp. LS100 for detoxifying deoxynivalenol
The mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in animal feed has been reported to reduce the growth performance of animals and compromise their immune system, especially pigs. Bacterial detoxification is considered a promising strateg...

How cystic fibrosis modulator therapy could transform Pseudomonas aeruginosa epidemiology
The advent of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulators has revolutionized cystic fibrosis (CF) care by restoring epithelial ion transport and improving airway physiology in people with CF. These therapies reduce inf...

Microbial Primer: Mirror bacteria
Mirror bacteria are hypothetical synthetic organisms built from molecules of opposite chirality to those used throughout nature. This primer discusses their potential dangers: because of their chiral mismatch to the natural environment, ...

Fatty acid-dependent cidality in Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium abscessus: intracellular acidification by itaconic acid
Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease is now recognized as a chronic condition with considerable morbidity and mortality with incidence rising globally. This is concerning as these infections are often mis- or undiagnosed and ...

In vitro and in vivo functional roles of three region 1 promoters in Escherichia coli K1 capsule gene cluster
Capsular polysaccharides are key virulence determinants in extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli , protecting bacteria from host immune defences while modulating interactions with host tissues. In group 2 capsule gene clusters, tra...

Ecological and evolutionary diversification of LuxI/R quorum sensing and LuxR solo regulators in Pseudomonas
Bacterial quorum sensing (QS) is classically viewed as a population-density-dependent communication system mediated by canonical LuxI/R circuits. However, increasing evidence indicates that QS is also shaped by environmental and ecologic...
