Unlike conventional antimicrobials, the study of bacterial resistance to silver nanoparticles
(AgNPs) remains in its infancy and the mechanism (s) through which it evolves are limited …

Escherichia coli is primarily known as a commensal colonising the gastrointestinal tract of
infants very early in life but some strains being responsible for diarrhoea, which can be …

Plastics are discarded and accumulated in the environment at an alarming rate. However,
their resistance to biodegradation allows them to persist in the environment for prolonged …

Medicinal plants are an important source for the therapeutic remedies of various diseases
including urinary tract infections. This prompted us to perform research in this area. We …

Abstract The Pseudomonas syringae Complex is one of the model phytopathogenic bacteria
for exploring plant-microbe interactions, causing devastating plant diseases and economic …

Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) transduces extracellular stimuli into intracellular responses,
coordinating a plethora of important biological processes. Low levels of c-di-GMP are often …

Summary c‐di‐GMP is a bacterial second messenger that is enzymatically synthesized and
degraded in response to environmental signals. Cellular processes are affected when c‐di …

The long-term response of microbial communities to the microgravity environment of space
is not yet fully understood. Of special interest is the possibility that members of these …

The host immune system offers a hostile environment with antimicrobials and reactive
oxygen species (ROS) that are detrimental to bacterial pathogens, forcing them to adapt and …

Minicell, a small spherical form of bacterium produced by abnormal fission, possesses
cytoplasmic constituents similar to those of the parental cell, except for genomic DNA. E. coli …
