resources for the sustainable production of chemicals. Cyanobacteria are ideal cellular …

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

Bacteria have evolved a variety of defence mechanisms to protect against mobile genetic
elements, including restriction-modification systems and CRISPR–Cas. In recent years …

For those born with cystic fibrosis (CF), hyper-concentrated mucus with a dysfunctional
structure significantly impacts CF airways, providing a perfect environment for bacterial …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are getting increasingly serious as antimicrobial

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and their CRISPR-
associated proteins (Cas) are an adaptive immune system involved in specific defenses …

Mucins are important glycoproteins that form a protective layer throughout the
gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. There is scientific evidence of increase in phage …

Tenacibaculosis, caused by Tenacibaculum species, is a significant disease in aquaculture,
leading to high mortality and economic losses. Antibiotic treatment raises concerns about …

Pathogenic bacteria are attracted toward mucosa, as it is their way of entry into the body.
However, we know surprisingly little about the phage-bacterium interactions in the mucosal …
