Intense genome sequencing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from cystic fibrosis (CF)
airways has shown inefficient eradication of the infecting bacteria, as well as previously …

Naturally occurring plasmids come in different sizes. The smallest are less than a kilobase of
DNA, while the largest can be over three orders of magnitude larger. Historically, research …

Multidrug resistance (MDR) represents a global threat to health. Here, we used whole
genome sequencing to characterise Pseudomonas aeruginosa MDR clinical isolates from a …

Bacterial cells are widely used to produce value-added products due to their versatility, ease
of manipulation, and the abundance of genome engineering tools. However, the efficiency of …

The Pseudomonas genus includes many species living in diverse environments and hosts. It
is important to understand which are the major evolutionary groups and what are the …

Chaperone-Usher Pathway (CUP) pili are major adhesins in Gram-negative bacteria,
mediating bacterial adherence to biotic and abiotic surfaces. While classical CUP pili have …

Niacinamide is a versatile compound widely used in the personal care industry for its ample
skin benefits. As a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), essential for ATP …

Liquid soap dispensers are widely used in domestic and clinical settings. In previous
studies, the risk of bacterial contamination of refillable systems was pointed out and a …

Introduction The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is
increasing persistently, particularly in burn ward isolates. Here, we investigate the …

In 2003 to 2004, the first five VIM-2 metallo-β-lactamase (MBL)-producing Pseudomonas
aeruginosa (MPPA) isolates with an In4-like integron, In461 (aadB-bla VIM-2-aadA6), on …
