Infections caused by antibiotic‐resistant bacteria are a major public health threat. The
emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment or clinical …

Chitinases are crucial for the survival of bacterial and fungal pathogens both during host
infection and outside the host in the environment. Chitinases facilitate adhesion onto host …

How enteric pathogens adapt their metabolism to a dynamic gut environment is not yet fully
understood. To investigate how Salmonella enterica Typhimurium (S. Tm) colonizes the gut …

The molecular understanding of host-pathogen interactions in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract
of superspreader hosts is incomplete. In a mouse model of chronic, asymptomatic …

It has been widely appreciated that numerous bacterial species express chitinases for the
purpose of degrading environmental chitin. However, chitinases and chitin-binding proteins …

Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen that is one of the main causes of gastroenteric disease
in humans and animals. As a natural organic substance, sodium humate (HNa) possesses …

As a facultative intracellular pathogen, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of
the leading causes of food-borne diseases in humans. With the ingestion of fecal …

The increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella enterica serovar
Typhimurium (S. Tm), known for causing invasive enteric infections, presents a significant …

The intestinal lining is protected by a mucous barrier composed predominantly of complex
carbohydrates. Gut microbes employ diverse glycoside hydrolases (GHs) to liberate …

Chitinases are ubiquitous enzymes involved in biomass degradation and chitin turnover in
nature. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), an opportunistic human pathogen, expresses ChiC …
