Quorum sensing is a process of cell–cell communication that allows bacteria to share
information about cell density and adjust gene expression accordingly. This process …

Horizontal gene transfer can trigger rapid shifts in bacterial evolution. Driven by a variety of
mobile genetic elements—in particular bacteriophages and plasmids—the ability to share …

Unlike lytic phages, temperate phages that enter lysogeny maintain a long-term association
with their bacterial host. In this context, mutually beneficial interactions can evolve that …

Artificial intelligence has significantly enhanced the research paradigm and spectrum with a
