Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication mechanism between bacteria that allows specific
processes to be controlled, such as biofilm formation, virulence factor expression, production …

The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a protein nanomachine that is widespread in Gram-
negative bacteria and is used to translocate effector proteins directly into neighbouring cells …

Iron sequestration by host proteins contributes to the defence against bacterial pathogens,
which need iron for their metabolism and virulence. A Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutant …

Probiotics, live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a
health benefit on the host, offer an alternative to antibiotics and have become popular …

Elongation factor thermal unstable Tu (EF-Tu) is a G protein that catalyzes the binding of
aminoacyl-tRNA to the A-site of the ribosome inside living cells. Structural and biochemical …

Acinetobacter baumannii is increasingly associated with various epidemics, representing a
serious concern due to the broad level of antimicrobial resistance and clinical …

The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) system is a contractile secretion apparatus
that delivers proteins to neighboring bacterial or eukaryotic cells. Antibacterial effectors are …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a transmembrane multiprotein nanomachine
