For successful infection of their hosts, pathogenic bacteria recognize host-derived signals
that induce the expression of virulence factors in a spatiotemporal manner. The fulminating …

Vibrio vulnificus, a fulminating human pathogen, forms biofilms to enhance its survival in
nature and pathogenicity during host infection. BrpR is the transcriptional regulator …

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important antimicrobial effector produced by the host innate immune
system to counteract invading pathogens. To survive and establish a successful infection, a …

Vibrio vulnificus is an opportunistic pathogen indigenous to estuarine and marine
environments and associated with aquatic organisms. Vibrio vulnificus is of utmost …

Vibrio vulnificus (V. vulnificus) is an estuarine bacterium that is capable of causing rapidly
fatal infection in humans. Proper polarization and bactericidal activity of macrophages play …

We have previously shown the extensive loss of genes during the domestication of alfalfa
rhizobia and the high nitrous oxide emission associated with the extreme genomic instability …

Encephalitozoon is a microsporidian genus that covers a small number of spore-forming,
obligate intracellular parasites of mammals and wildlife. Human infection with …

To survive and establish successful infection within their hosts, pathogenic bacteria need to
recognize host-derived stresses for the appropriate expression of virulence factors in a …

Biofilm formation is important for the survival of pathogenic bacteria both in natural
environments and during a host infection. Vibrio vulnificus, a pathogenic marine bacterium …

Enteropathogenic bacteria express two-component systems (TCSs) to sense and respond to
host environments, developing resistance to host innate immune systems like cationic …
