Pseudomonas cannabina pv. alisalensis (Pcal) causes bacterial blight on cabbage. In a previous study, we screened for reduced virulence using Tn5 transposon mutants and identified a LysR-type transcriptional regulator (LTTR) as a potential virulence...

The style is the female reproductive channel in flowers, receiving pollen and transmitting male gametes through elongating pollen tubes to the ovules during fertilization. In maize/corn, the styles are known as silks. Fertilization-stage silks contai...

Antibiotic-resistance (ABR) poses a critical public health challenge within the broader antimicrobial resistance crisis. This review evaluates the potential of polyelectrolytes (PEs) and polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) for controlled antibiotic deli...

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial bacteria that play a crucial role in sustainable agriculture by enhancing plant growth through various mechanisms. This review examines the contributions of PGPR in improving nutrient availab...

Health care providers are an integral part of the era of mobile phones. During various activities linked to health care services, they come in contact with their cell phones regularly. These cell phones act as a perfect substrate for nosocomial patho...

Background: Bacterial infections constitute a large portion of infectious disorders. The location of culture-positive specimens and profiles of antibiotic resistance for common pathogens have been the focal points of subsequent investigations. Method...

Fungal infections significantly threaten public health, and many strains are resistant to antifungal drugs. Marine Actinobacteria have been identified as the generators of powerful bioactive compounds with antifungal activity and can be used to addre...

Plant pathogenic Pseudomonas species cause a variety of diseases in plants. Each Pseudomonas species employs different virulence factors and strategies for successful infection. Moreover, even the same bacterial pathogens can differentially utilize v...

Streptococcus mutans is primarily found in biofilms on tooth surfaces and is associated with the development of dental caries. S. mutans synthesizes water-insoluble glucan (WIG) using sucrose as a substrate, inducing the formation of three-dimensiona...

Platelets are well known for their role in hemostasis. Additionally, platelets play a crucial role in immune and inflammatory responses. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) can mediate bacterial interactions during infection, triggering platelets to initiate...

Ceramic and vitreous materials can be functionalized to exhibit biocidal activity. This research evaluates the biocidal properties of silver-modified vitreous microspheres designed to be included in water endpoints and siphons to prevent nosocomial d...

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), also known as Hughes syndrome, is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by recurrent thrombosis and pregnancy complications, accompanied by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs). These antibodies t...

Bioremediation, the degradation of environmental pollutants by living organisms, has immense potential to lead to a greener planet. Bioinformatics analysis can contribute to the identification of novel microorganisms, which biodegrade contaminants, o...

In recent years, the study of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) has garnered considerable attention due to their potential in combating antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics provides valuable information on microbial stress r...

Maize silks (style) receive wind-transmitted pollen. Thereafter, male gametes travel through the silks to reach ovules. Pollinated silks contain a microbiome, members of which are predicted to promote host reproduction and abiotic/biotic stress toler...

The need for sustainable farming practices has brought attention to biofertilizers to improve soil quality and boost crop yield while minimizing environmental impacts. This study explores the potential integration of biofertilizers within push–...
