The opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the causal agent of a wide
variety of infections. This non-fermentative Gram-negative bacillus can colonize zones …

Biofilters inoculated with activated sludge are widely used for odor control in WWTP. In this
process, biofilm community evolution plays an important role in the function of reactor and is …

The ecological and evolutionary mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) emergence
within patients and how these vary across bacterial infections are poorly understood …

Once acquired, hypermutation is unrelenting, and in the long-term, leads to impaired fitness
due to its cumulative impact on the genome. This raises the question of why hypermutators …

Many bacterial species communicate and cooperate with kin using a form of cell-cell
signaling called quorum sensing. Sensitivity and selectivity are fundamental properties of …

Selective forces in the environment drive bacterial adaptation to novel niches, choosing the
fitter variants in the population. However, in dynamic and changing environments, the …

Natural transformation is a process where bacteria actively take up DNA from the
environment and recombine it into their genome or reconvert it into extra-chromosomal …

While several environmental factors contribute to the evolutionary diversification of the
pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa during cystic fibrosis lung infections …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen which causes chronic, drug-
resistant lung infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. In this study, we explore the role of …

Polymicrobial infections include various microorganisms, often necessitating different
treatment methods than a monomicrobial infection. Scientists have been puzzled by the …
