Transcription of DNA is a fundamental process in all cellular organisms. The enzyme
responsible for transcription, RNA polymerase, is conserved in general architecture and …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative environmental and human opportunistic
pathogen highly adapted to many different environmental conditions. It can cause a wide …

Pulmonary infections are associated with a brisk inflammatory reaction to bacterial surface
components. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) trigger macrophage activation and release of …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen that can cause a variety of
acute and chronic infections. The bacterium is highly resistant to numerous antibiotics …

Bacteria and Candida albicans are prominent gut microbiota, and the translocation of these
organisms into blood circulation might induce mixed-organism biofilms, which warrants the …

Predation contributes to the structure and diversity of microbial communities. Predatory
myxobacteria are ubiquitous to a variety of microbial habitats and capably consume a broad …

Site-2-proteases are a class of intramembrane proteases involved in regulated
intramembrane proteolysis. Regulated intramembrane proteolysis is a highly conserved …

Pseudomonas syringae can rapidly deploy specialized functions to deal with abiotic and
biotic stresses. Host niches pose specific sets of environmental challenges driven, in part, by …

Spore-forming pathogens like Clostridioides difficile depend on germination to initiate
infection. During gemination, spores must degrade their cortex layer, which is a thick …

During decades‐long infections in the cystic fibrosis (CF) airway, Pseudomonas aeruginosa
undergoes selection. One bacterial genetic adaptation often observed in CF isolates is …
