Throughout their evolutionary history, bacteria have faced diverse threats from other
microorganisms, including competing bacteria, bacteriophages and predators. In response …

Metabolomics uses advanced analytical chemistry techniques to enable the high-throughput
characterization of metabolites from cells, organs, tissues, or biofluids. The rapid growth in …

Over the last 10 to 15 years, increasing evidence suggests that persistence of Listeria
monocytogenes in food processing plants for years or even decades is an important factor in …

Bacterial toxicity of graphene nanosheets in the form of graphene nanowalls deposited on
stainless steel substrates was investigated for both Gram-positive and Gram-negative …

We provide the first evidence that the size (diameter) of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a key
factor governing their antibacterial effects and that the likely main CNT-cytotoxicity …

As an opportunistic Gram-negative pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa must be able to
adapt and survive changes and stressors in its environment during the course of infection …

For several billion years, bacteria have developed mechanisms to resist antibacterial
substances. In modern time, antibiotics are frequently used in veterinary and human …

According to the sit-and-wait hypothesis, long-term environmental survival is positively
correlated with increased bacterial pathogenicity because high durability reduces the …

Background The discovery and use of antibiotics have produced tremendous benefits for
human society, however, with the large-scale use of antibiotics in medicine, animal …

Reducing the available water in food is a long-established method for controlling bacterial
growth in the food industry. Nevertheless, food-borne outbreaks of salmonellosis due to …
