Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major nosocomial pathogen that causes severe disease
including sepsis. Carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa is recognised by the World Health …

Bacteria possess various receptors that sense different signals and transmit information to
enable an optimal adaptation to the environment. A major limitation in microbiology is the …

Glaciers host ecosystems comprised of biodiverse and active microbiota. Among glacial
ecosystems, less is known about the ecology of ice caps since most studies focus on valley …

Bacteriophage T3 encodes a SAMase that, through cleavage of S-adenosyl methionine
(SAM), circumvents the SAM-dependent type I restriction-modification (RM) defense. We …

The motility of microorganisms through the environment is driven by chemical gradients:
They move towards nutrients and away from signals that indicate unfavorable conditions …

Matrix-encapsulated communities of bacteria, called biofilms, are ubiquitous in the
environment and are notoriously difficult to eliminate in clinical and industrial settings …

The growth of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has highlighted an urgent need to identify
bacterial pathogenic functions that may be targets for clinical intervention. Although severe …

ABSTRACT Bacteriophages (hereafter “phages”) are ubiquitous predators of bacteria in the
natural world, but interest is growing in their development into antibacterial therapy as …

In the face of ubiquitous threats from parasites, hosts can evolve strategies to resist infection
or to altogether avoid parasitism, for instance by avoiding behavior that could expose them …

The evolutionary arms race between bacteria and phages has given rise to myriad bacterial
anti-phage defenses and phage-encoded counters to those defenses. Phages themselves …
