Most bacterial pathogens have the remarkable ability to flourish in the external environment
and in specialized host niches. This ability requires their metabolism, physiology, and …

In the present review, we describe and compare the molecular mechanisms that are
involved in the regulation of biofilm formation by P seudomonas putida, P seudomonas …

Flagella-driven motility is an important trait for bacterial colonization and virulence. Flagella
rotate and propel bacteria in liquid or semi-liquid media to ensure such bacterial fitness …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a weapon of bacterial warfare and host cell
subversion. The Gram-negative pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa has three T6SSs …

Microbes commonly live in dense surface-attached communities where cells layer on top of
one another such that only those at the edges have unimpeded access to limiting nutrients …

Beyond their role in horizontal gene transfer, conjugative plasmids commonly encode
homologues of bacterial regulators. Known plasmid regulator homologues have highly …

The signal transduction system of microorganisms helps them adapt to changes in their
complex living environment. Two-component system (TCS) is a representative signal …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative opportunistic human pathogen and a threat
for immunocompromised and cystic fibrosis patients. It is responsible for acute and chronic …

Background Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 is a plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium
(PGPR) isolated from the sugar-beet rhizosphere. This bacterium has been extensively …

Bacterial biofilm formation involves signaling and regulatory pathways that control the
transition from motile to sessile lifestyle, production of extracellular polymeric matrix, and …
