Bacteria, Volume 3, Issue 3

For years, the Bacillus genus has encompassed a heterogeneous group of individuals whose main common trait was their ability to sporulate in the presence of oxygen. This criterion has been revised, resulting in the reclassification of several species...

The Lactobacillales (LB) stand apart among bacterial orders, using manganese (Mn) instead of iron to support their growth and swiftly ferment complex foods while acidifying their environment. The present work investigates whether a shift in the use o...

Oral health remains one of the most taken for granted parts of human body health, even though poor oral health has now been linked to various diseases, such as cancers, diabetes, autoimmune complications, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular di...

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health challenge, with approximately 10 million new cases and 1.4 million deaths reported in 2020. TB disproportionately affects low- and middle-income c...

This paper explores the intriguing parallels between bacterial behavior and human actions, specifically the tendency of bacteria to adhere to surfaces, construct bacterial “houses” known as a biofilm matrix, nurture growth and reproductio...

Antimicrobial resistance is a significant public health issue. The unprecedented spread of antimicrobial-resistant organisms has been identified by the World Health Organization as one of the leading healthcare threats. Projections for annual worldwi...

Background: Several Acinetobacter species live in different ecosystems, such as soil, freshwater, wastewater, and solid wastes, which has attracted considerable research interests in public health and agriculture. Methods: We assessed the distributio...

It is imperative to say that we are immersed in a sea of microorganisms due to their ubiquitous presence on the planet, from soil to water and air. Human bodies harbor a vast array of microorganisms from both the inside and out called the human micro...

The relationship between plants and microorganisms is of paramount importance in maintaining the delicate balance of life on Earth, as evidenced by their interconnectedness in the intricate tapestry of nature [...]

Biofilms are accumulations of microorganisms in an extracellular polymeric substance matrix which are composed of polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Many bacteria can switch between a planktonic form and a biofilm form. The plankto...
