Toxin-Antitoxin (TA) systems are abundant in prokaryotes and play an important role in
various biological processes such as plasmid maintenance, phage inhibition, stress …

Ubiquinone is an important component of the electron transfer chains in proteobacteria and
eukaryotes. The biosynthesis of ubiquinone requires multiple steps, most of which are …

Bacteriophages, the viruses infecting bacteria, hold great potential for the treatment of
multidrug-resistant bacterial infections and other applications due to their unparalleled …

Coenzyme Q (ubiquinone or CoQ) is a conserved polyprenylated lipid essential for
mitochondrial respiration. CoQ is composed of a redox-active benzoquinone ring and a long …

Background: Bacterial persistence to antibiotics relates to the phenotypic ability to survive
lethal concentrations of otherwise bactericidal antibiotics. The quantitative nature of the time …

The zoonotic pathogen Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica can cause several diseases in
humans, including sepsis and bacteremia. Although the pathogenesis is not fully …

Bacteria withstand antibiotic onslaughts by employing a variety of strategies, one of which is
persistence. Persistence occurs in a bacterial population where a subpopulation of cells …

Bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems consist of two or more adjacent genes, encoding a
toxin and an antitoxin. TA systems are implicated in evolutionary and physiological functions …

The increasing antibiotic resistance poses a significant global health challenge, threatening
our ability to combat infectious diseases. The phenomenon of collateral sensitivity, whereby …

Recent studies suggest that Wohlfahrtiimonas chitiniclastica may be the cause of several
diseases in humans including sepsis and bacteremia making the bacterium as a previously …
