Bacterial‐derived micro‐/nanomedicine has garnered considerable attention in anticancer
therapy, owing to the unique natural features of bacteria, including specific targeting ability …

Humanity keeps paying a high toll to bacterial pathogens. It has been estimated that 33
bacterial pathogens caused the death of 7.700. 000 people in 2019 (GBD 2019 …

Supercoiled flagellar filaments function as mechanical propellers within the bacterial
flagellum complex, playing a crucial role in motility. Flagellin, the building block of the …

Chemotactic bacteria not only navigate chemical gradients, but also shape their
environments by consuming and secreting attractants. Investigating how these processes …

Vibrio harveyi is a normal flora in natural marine habitats and a significant opportunistic
pathogen in marine animals. This bacterium can cause a series of lesions after infecting …

Chemotaxis allows microorganisms to direct movement in response to chemical stimuli.
Bacteria use this behaviour to develop spatial associations with animals and plants, and …

Klebsiella aerogenes is an understudied and clinically important pathogen. We therefore
investigate its population structure by genome analysis aligned with metadata. We …

Inhibiting pathogen chemotaxis is a promising strategy for reducing disease pressure.
However, this strategy is currently in the proof-of-concept stage. Here, Phytophthora sojae …

As bacterial symbionts transition from a motile free-living state to a sessile biofilm state, they
must coordinate behavior changes suitable to each lifestyle. Cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) …
