The commensal microbiota has been implicated in the regulation of a diverse array of
physiological processes, both within the gastrointestinal tract and at distant tissue sites …

The emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is a major public health issue,
which requires global action of an intersectoral nature. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens …

The bacterial cytoplasmic membrane is composed of roughly equal proportions of lipids and
proteins. The main lipid components are phospholipids, which vary in acyl chain length …

Commensal bacteria and other microorganisms that reside in the human body are closely
associated with the development and treatment of cancers. Recently, tumor microbiome …

At the end of a lytic bacteriophage replication cycle in Gram-positive bacteria, peptidoglycan-
degrading endolysins that cause explosive cell lysis of the host can also attack non-infected …

In bacteremia the majority of bacterial species are killed by oxidation on the surface of
erythrocytes and digested by local phagocytes in the liver and the spleen. Sepsis-causing …

In this paper, we describe a mechanism for the transfer of nutrients from symbiotic microbes
(bacteria and fungi) to host plant roots that we term the 'rhizophagy cycle.'In the rhizophagy …

Recurrent urinary tract infection (rUTI) is a major medical problem, especially in the elderly
and infirm, but the nature of the reservoir of organisms responsible for survival and …

Results There were 22 operational taxonomic units significantly different between the two
groups. 16S metagenomic sequencing revealed a significant reduction in α diversity (Chao1 …

Summary β-lactam antibiotics inhibit bacterial cell wall assembly and, under classical
microbiological culture conditions that are generally hypotonic, induce explosive cell death …
