Antibiotic resistance is a pressing healthcare challenge and is mediated by various
mechanisms, including the active export of drugs via multidrug efflux systems, which prevent …

Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG), such as extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and
carbapenemase genes, are commonly carried on plasmids. Plasmids can transmit between …

Enteropathogenic bacteria, such as Salmonella, have been linked to numerous fresh
produce outbreaks, posing a significant public health threat. The ability of Salmonella to …

Cephalosporins are important beta lactam antibiotics, but resistance can be mediated by
various mechanisms including production of beta lactamase enzymes, changes in …

Background: Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG), such as extended spectrum beta-
lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase genes, are commonly carried on plasmids. Plasmids …

Bacteriophage (phage) are promising novel antimicrobials but a key challenge to their
effective implementation is the rapid emergence of phage resistance. An improved …

Most bacteria can form biofilms, which typically have a life cycle from cells initially attaching
to a surface before aggregation and growth produces biomass and an extracellular matrix …

Enteropathogenic bacteria including Salmonella regularly cause outbreaks of infection from
fresh produce posing a significant public health threat. Salmonella's ability to persist on fresh …

The β-proteobacterial species Curvibacter sp. AEP1-3 is a model organism for the study of
symbiotic interactions as it is the most abundant bacterial colonizer of the basal metazoan …

Bacteria are usually found as part of structured, aggregated communities called biofilms.
Progression through the biofilm life cycle requires temporally controlled gene expression to …
