Extracellular vesicles, encompassing eukaryotic exosomes and bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), play multifaceted roles in mediating host–pathogen interactions. These nanoscale structures act as critical mediators of intercellular commun...

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the main trends and progress in the biostimulation approach, which represents a crucial component of the broader multi-factor bioremediation process. A comprehensive search was carried out in the Sco...

Toxin–antitoxin (TA) modules represent sophisticated regulatory networks that have evolved from simple plasmid maintenance factors into multifunctional genetic modules orchestrating bacterial stress responses, pathogenesis, and ecological adapt...

Escherichia coli LS5218 is an attractive host for producing polyhydroxybutyrate. The strain, however, strongly requires heterologous gene expressions like phaC for efficient production. For enhancing the production, the whole gene expressions relatin...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms like tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesia. The WHO estimates that 10 million people currently have PD, with its prevalence expected to double to 20 million b...

This report investigates the interaction between the metabolites of the highly virulent bacteria Salmonella enterica and RTGill-W1 cells, a cell line derived from rainbow trout gills. As a facultative intracellular pathogen, Salmonella enterica infec...

Background: Past studies have documented the antimicrobial effects of dimethyl sulfoxide (D.M.SO). However, the side effects and toxicity profiles of DMSO in vivo have been a significant deterrent for its wide-ranging clinical use. Dimethyl sulfone (...

Common bacterial blight (CBB) is a significant disease caused by the seed-borne pathogen Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap), which devastates global bean production. This study evaluated the effects of Bacillus subtilis (Bst26), Lactobacillus...

Background: Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) remains relevant to public health and agri-food chains. The context in Brazil, as a major food producer and exporter, reinforces the need for genomic surveillance. Objective: We aimed to characterize B...

Introduction: Colonization by Staphylococcus aureus—including methicillin-resistant strains (MRSA)—represents a growing public health concern, particularly in community and rural settings. In Portugal, limited data are available regarding...
