Trace metals are essential micronutrients required for survival across all kingdoms of life.
From bacteria to animals, metals have critical roles as both structural and catalytic cofactors …

Oral microecological balance is closely associated with the development of dental caries.
Oxidative stress is one of the important factors regulating the composition and structure of …

Overcoming antimicrobial resistance represents a formidable challenge and investigating
bacterial growth inhibition by fungal metabolites may yield new strategies. Although the …

Zinc is a trace metal that is essential to all forms of life, but that becomes toxic at high
concentrations. Because it has both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and low …

Abstract Zinc (Zn2+) is an essential divalent trace metal for living cells. Intracellular zinc
homeostasis is critical to the survival and virulence of bacteria. Thus, the frequent …

Streptococcus sanguinis is an important cause of infective endocarditis. In strain SK36, the
ABC‐family manganese transporter, SsaACB, is essential for virulence. We have now …

Bacterial pathogens require a variety of micronutrients for growth, including trace metals
such as iron, manganese, and zinc (Zn). Despite their relative abundance in host …

Most living organisms require zinc for survival; however, excessive amounts of this trace
element can be toxic. Therefore, the frequent fluctuations of salivary zinc, caused by the low …

As a typical psychrophilic bacterial pathogen, Aeromonas salmonicida causes furunculosis
in wild and farmed freshwater and marine fish, leading to substantial economic losses in the …

Metals are nutrients essential for almost all lifeforms. Bacteria have evolved several
mechanisms to overcome the metal restrictions imposed by the host. Vibrio …
