All bacteria produce secreted vesicles that carry out a variety of important biological
functions. These extracellular vesicles can improve adaptation and survival by relieving …

The global increase in multi-drug-resistant bacteria is severely impacting our ability to
effectively treat common infections. For Gram-negative bacteria, their intrinsic and acquired …

The Gram-negative outer membrane is an important barrier that provides protection against
toxic compounds, which include antibiotics and host innate immune molecules such as …

To win the battle against resistant, pathogenic bacteria, novel classes of anti-infectives and
targets are urgently needed. Bacterial uptake, distribution, metabolic and efflux pathways of …

There has been an increasing interest in phytochemicals with antimicrobial properties in
food safety management. However, the mechanisms of action of phytochemicals remain …

This study aimed to investigate the synergistic effects of benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and
resveratrol (RS) on Listeria monocytogenes and their application in chicken meat …

Mechano-bactericidal surfaces deliver lethal effects to contacting bacteria. Until now, cell
death has been attributed to the mechanical stress imparted to the bacterial cell envelope by …

The speed at which bacteria develop antimicrobial resistance far outpace drug discovery
and development efforts resulting in untreatable infections. The World Health Organisation …

Gastrointestinal infection changes microbiome composition and gene expression. In this
study, we demonstrate that enteric infection also promotes rapid genetic adaptation in a gut …

The simplicity and effectiveness of calorie restriction (CR) in lifespan and healthspan
extension have fascinated generations searching for the Fountain of Youth. CR reduces …
