Numerous bacteria naturally occur within spatially organised, multicellular communities
called biofilms. Moreover, most bacterial infections proceed with biofilm formation, posing …

Chaperone-Usher Pathway (CUP) pili are major adhesins in Gram-negative bacteria,
mediating bacterial adherence to biotic and abiotic surfaces. While classical CUP pili have …

As a foodborne pathogen capable of causing severe illnesses, early detection of
Escherichia coli O157: H7 (E. coli O157: H7) is crucial for ensuring food safety. While Förster …

Background: The inovirus Pf4 is a lysogenic bacteriophage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(Pa). People with Cystic Fibrosis (pwCF) experience chronic airway infection with Pa and a …

Liquid-liquid phase separation is vital in the formation of many biomolecular condensates,
including cellular membraneless organelles. When semiflexible macromolecules are …

We develop a microscopic model of antibiotic diffusion in virus suspensions in a liquid
crystalline state. We then approximate this with an effective homogenised model that is more …

Type IV pili (T4Ps), which are abundant in many bacterial and archaeal species, have been
shown to play important roles in both surface sensing and twitching motility, with implications …
