Extensive coevolution has led to utterly intricate interactions between phages and their
bacterial hosts. While both the (short-term) intracellular molecular host-subversion …

The interactions between a virus and its host vary in space and time and are affected by the
presence of molecules that alter the physiology of either the host or the virus. Determining …

Cells from all kingdoms of life can enter growth arrest in unfavorable environmental
conditions. Key to this process are mechanisms enabling recovery from this state …

Type II restriction-modification (R–M) systems play a pivotal role in bacterial defense against
invading DNA, influencing the spread of pathogenic traits. These systems often involve …

Some sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), mainly belonging to the Desulfovibrionaceae family,
have evolved the capability to conserve energy through microbial extracellular electron …

Many antibiotics that are used in healthcare, farming, and aquaculture end up in
environments with different spatial structures that might promote heterogeneity in the …

Globally, nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) causes approximately 150 million foodborne
illnesses annually; many of which are linked to poultry products. Thus, improving food safety …

As the demand for bacteriophage (phage) therapy increases due to antibiotic resistance in
microbial pathogens, strategies and methods for increased efficiency, large-scale phage …

The influence of environmental factors on the interactions between phages and bacteria,
particularly single‐stranded DNA (ssDNA) phages, has been largely unexplored. In this …

The development of phage resistance by bacteria is a major barrier that impedes the
therapeutic use of phage. Phage training has been proposed as a novel tool that harnesses …
