Bacteria are under immense evolutionary pressure from their viral invaders—
bacteriophages. Bacteria have evolved numerous immune mechanisms, both innate and …

Species in the genus Pseudomonas thrive in a diverse set of ecological niches and include
crucial pathogens, such as the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the plant …

Bacteriophages are obligate parasites of bacteria characterized by the breadth of hosts that
they can infect. This “host range” depends on the genotypes and morphologies of the phage …

The therapeutic potential of phages has been considered since their first identification more
than a century ago. The evident concept of using a natural predator to treat bacterial …

Phage-mediated metabolic changes in bacteria are hypothesized to markedly alter global
nutrient and biogeochemical cycles. Despite their theoretic importance, experimental data …

Non-model bacteria like Pseudomonas putida, Lactococcus lactis and other species have
unique and versatile metabolisms, offering unique opportunities for Synthetic Biology …

The Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS) is a multifunctional quorum sensing molecule of
key importance to P. aeruginosa. Here, we report that the lytic Pseudomonas bacterial virus …

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa the RNA chaperone Hfq and the c atabolite r epression c ontrol
protein (Crc) act as post-transcriptional regulators during carbon catabolite repression …

Despite the successful use of antibacterials, the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria
has become a serious threat to global healthcare. In this era of antibacterial crisis …
