Invasive strains of non-typhoidal salmonellae have emerged as a prominent cause of
bloodstream infection in African adults and children, with an associated case fatality of 20 …

Our understanding of bacterial pathogenesis is dominated by the cell biology of the host–
pathogen interaction. However, the majority of metabolites that are used in prokaryotic and …

Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) causes acute gut inflammation
by using its virulence factors to invade the intestinal epithelium and survive in mucosal …

Background Pseudomonas fluorescens are common soil bacteria that can improve plant
health through nutrient cycling, pathogen antagonism and induction of plant defenses. The …

We have determined the complete genome sequences of a host-promiscuous Salmonella
enterica serovar Enteritidis PT4 isolate P125109 and a chicken-restricted Salmonella …

Isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (Typhi), a human-restricted bacterial pathogen
that causes typhoid, show limited genetic variation. We generated whole-genome …

Lactobacillus reuteri is a heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium that naturally inhabits the
gut of humans and other animals. The probiotic effects of L. reuteri have been proposed to …

Pathogenic species in the Yersinia genus have historically been targets for research aimed
at understanding how bacteria evolve into mammalian pathogens. The advent of large-scale …

Recent developments in sequencing technologies have given the opportunity to sequence
many bacterial genomes with limited cost and labor, compared to previous techniques …

Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are multisubunit cell‐envelope‐spanning structures,
ancestrally related to bacterial conjugation machines, which transfer proteins and …
