The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is not energised and so processes
requiring a driving force must connect to energy-transduction systems in the inner …

The emergence of phage-resistant bacterial strains is one of the biggest challenges for
phage therapy. However, the emerging phage-resistant bacteria are often accompanied by …

Efficient interbacterial competitions and diverse defensive strategies employed by various
bacteria play a crucial role in acquiring a hold within a dense microbial community. The gut …
