Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication mechanism between bacteria that allows specific
processes to be controlled, such as biofilm formation, virulence factor expression, production …

Bacteria can be adapted to adverse and detrimental conditions that induce general and
specific responses to DNA damage as well as acid, heat, cold, starvation, oxidative …

Bacteria inhabit all known ecological niches and establish interactions with organisms from
all kingdoms of life. These interactions are mediated by a wide variety of mechanisms and …

Bacteria use diverse mechanisms to kill, manipulate, and compete with other cells. The
recently discovered type VI secretion system (T6SS) is widespread in bacterial pathogens …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a widespread protein secretion apparatus used by
Gram-negative bacteria to deliver toxic effector proteins into adjacent bacterial or host cells …

Burkholderia thailandensis uses acyl-homoserine lactone-mediated quorum sensing
systems to regulate hundreds of genes. Here we show that cell-cell contact-dependent type …

The contact-dependent type VI secretion system (T6SS) in diverse microbes plays crucial
roles in both inter-bacterial and bacteria-host interactions. As numerous microorganisms …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a mechanism evolved by Gram-negative bacteria to
negotiate interactions with eukaryotic and prokaryotic competitors. T6SSs are encoded by a …

In many countries, infectious diseases are a considerable threat to aquaculture. The
pathogenicity of micro‐organisms that infect aquaculture systems is closely related to the …

Vibrio alginolyticus is a leading cause of vibriosis, presenting opportunistic infections to
humans associated with raw seafood contamination. At present, phage therapy that acts as …
