Bacteria must divide to increase in number and colonize their niche. Binary fission is the
most widespread means of bacterial cell division, but even this relatively simple mechanism …

Widespread antimicrobial resistance among bacterial pathogens is a serious threat to public
health. Thus, identification of new targets and development of new antibacterial agents are …

Macromolecular condensation resulting from biologically regulated liquid–liquid phase
separation is emerging as a mechanism to organize intracellular space in eukaryotes, with …

Small cationic, amphipathic peptides with critical roles in host defenses often exhibit
overlapping but distinct immunomodulatory activity, direct antimicrobial activity towards …

To maintain genome integrity, organisms employ DNA damage response, the underlying
principles of which are conserved from bacteria to humans. The bacterial small RNA OxyS of …

Cytokinesis is a fundamental process for bacterial survival and proliferation, involving the
formation of a ring by filaments of the GTPase FtsZ, spatio-temporally regulated through the …

The conserved process of cell division in bacteria has been a long-standing target for
antimicrobials, although there are few examples of potent broad-spectrum compounds that …

Bacterial infections pose significant threats to farmed aquatic animals, with diseases such as
Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia (MAS), Streptococcosis, Edwardsiellosis, and Vibriosis …

To generate two cells from one, bacteria such as Escherichia coli use a complex of
membrane-embedded proteins called the divisome that synthesize the division septum. The …

Cell cycle regulation is crucial for all living organisms and is often targeted by viruses to
facilitate their own propagation, yet cell cycle progression control is largely underexplored in …
