The use of antimicrobial agents has been claimed to be the driving force for the emergence
and spread of microbial resistance. However, several studies have reported the presence of …

Understanding factors responsible for reemergence of diseases believed to have been
controlled and outbreaks of previously unknown infectious diseases is one of the most …

Marine bivalves are widespread in coastal environments and, due to their filter‐feeding
habit, they can accumulate large numbers of bacteria thus acting as passive carriers of …

Cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous bacterial signaling molecule that regulates a
variety of complex processes through a diverse set of c-di-GMP receptor proteins. We have …

Vibrio vulnificus expresses a multitude of cell-associated and secreted factors that
potentially contribute to pathogenicity, although the specific roles of most of these factors …

Signaling pathways allow bacteria to adapt to changing environments. For pathogenic
bacteria, signaling pathways allow for timely expression of virulence factors and the …

The current international awareness of the importance of combating infectious diseases can
provide the opportunity for a multidisciplinary approach that joins medicine with many other …

The genus Vibrio includes more than 30 species, at least 12 of which are pathogenic to
