Histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) and H-NS-like proteins serve as global gene
silencers and work with antagonistic transcriptional activators (counter-silencers) to properly …

The high cell density, immobilization and stability of biofilms are ideal characteristics for
bacteria in resisting antibiotic therapy. CsgD is a transcription activating factor that regulates …

Brucella, the intracellular bacteria, have evolved subtle strategies to efficiently survive and
replicate in macrophages. However, the virulence effector proteins involved are still unclear …

The expression of flagellar proteins in Brucella species likely evolved through genetic
transference from other microorganisms, and contributed to virulence, adaptability, and …

Acidithiobacillus caldus is a common bioleaching bacterium that is inevitably exposed to
extreme copper stress in leachates. The ArsR/SmtB family of metalloregulatory repressors …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) describes a reduction in the efficacy of antimicrobial drugs
(eg, antibiotics) against pathogens (eg, bacteria). This is a clinical issue of growing concern …
