Research on the discovery and characterization of small, regulatory RNAs in bacteria has
exploded in recent years. These sRNAs act by base pairing with target mRNAs with which …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile bacterium that is found in a wide
range of biotic and abiotic habitats. It is a major human opportunistic pathogen causing …

Metabolically versatile free-living bacteria have global regulation systems that allow cells to
selectively assimilate a preferred compound among a mixture of several potential carbon …

It is generally assumed that antibiotics and resistance determinants are the task forces of a
biological warfare in which each resistance determinant counteracts the activity of a specific …

Antibiotics are low-molecular-mass products of secondary metabolism, nonessential for the
growth of producing organisms, but very important for human health. They have unusual …

The development of antibiotic resistance is usually associated with genetic changes, either
to the acquisition of resistance genes, or to mutations in elements relevant for the activity of …

In the metabolically versatile bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the RNA-binding protein
Crc is involved in catabolite repression of a range of degradative genes, such as amiE …

Intrinsically resistant bacteria have emerged as a relevant health problem in the last years.
Those bacterial species, several of them with an environmental origin, present naturally low …

Post-transcriptional regulation is a very important mechanism to control gene expression in
changing environments. In the past decade, a lot of interest has been directed toward the …

Pathogenic bacteria possess intricate regulatory networks that temporally control the
production of virulence factors, and enable the bacteria to survive and proliferate after host …
