Endophytic bacteria, which interact closely with their host, are an essential part of the plant
microbiome. These interactions enhance plant tolerance to environmental changes as well …

Since their discovery in the early 20th century, antibiotics have been used as the primary
weapon against bacterial infections. Due to their prophylactic effect, they are also used as …

Staphylococcus aureus generates and releases extracellular vesicles (EVs) that package
cytosolic, cell-wall associated, and membrane proteins, as well as glycopolymers and …

The members of the Burkholderia genus are characterized by high versatility and
adaptability to various ecological niches. With the availability of the genome sequences of …

Recently, a new class of prokaryotic compartments, collectively called encapsulins or protein
nanocompartments, has been discovered. The shell proteins of these structures self …

Introduction: The development of new antimicrobials has become an urgent priority because
of a global challenge emerging from the rise of antimicrobial resistant pathogens. Areas …

The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a protein secretion apparatus widely
distributed in Gram-negative bacterial species. Many bacterial pathogens employ T6SS to …

Pathogenic bacteria interact with cells of their host via many factors. The surface
components, ie, adhesins, lipoproteins, LPS and glycoconjugates, are particularly important …

Pathogenic bacteria secrete a variety of proteins that manipulate host cell function by
targeting components of the plasma membrane, cytosol, or organelles. In the last decade …

Gram-negative bacteria harness multiple protein secretion systems and secrete a large
proportion of the proteome. Proteins can be exported to periplasmic space, integrated into …
