Global atmospheric warming leads to climate change that results in a cascade of events
affecting human mortality directly and indirectly. The factors that influence climate change …

Marine and estuarine environments are often affected by microbiological contamination that
adversely affects their use and severely impacts human health. To examine the influence of …

Opportunistic pathogen Vibrio vulnificus causes severe systemic infection in humans with
high mortality. Although multiple exotoxins have been characterized in V. vulnificus, their …

The marine bacterium Vibrio vulnificus infects humans via food or water contamination,
leading to serious manifestations, including gastroenteritis, wound infections, and septic …

Many Gram-negative bacterial pathogens directly deliver numerous effector proteins from
the bacterium to the host cell, thereby altering the target cell physiology. The already well …

The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria have necessitated
finding new control alternatives. Under these circumstances, lytic bacteriophages offer a …

Upon invading target cells, multifunctional autoprocessing repeats-in-toxin (MARTX) toxins
secreted by bacterial pathogens release their disease-related modularly structured effector …

Bacteria often coordinate virulence factors to fine‐tune the host response during infection.
These coordinated events can include toxins counteracting or amplifying effects of another …

Multifunctional autoprocessing repeats-in-toxin (MARTX) toxins are secreted by Gram-
negative bacteria and function as primary virulence-promoting macromolecules that deliver …
