Bacteria thrive in environments rich in fluid flow, such as the gastrointestinal tract,
bloodstream, aquatic systems, and the urinary tract. Despite the importance of flow, how flow …

The rapid emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens require the
development of antibacterial agents that are robustly effective while inducing no toxicity or …

Deazaguanine DNA modifications are widespread in phages, particularly in those with
pathogenic hosts. Pseudomonas phage iggy substitutes∼ 16.5% of its genomic 2 …

Natural transformation is a mechanism that enables competent bacteria to acquire naked,
exogenous DNA from the environment. It is a key process that facilitates the dissemination of …

Leaf spot of ginger caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is considered as a
phytopathological constraint in the cultivation of ginger that has led to the economic loss of …

The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a bacterial nanomachine that delivers toxic effectors
to kill competitors or subvert some of their key functions. Here, we use transposon directed …

Background Bacterial pneumonia and related lung injury are among the most frequent
causes of mortality in intensive care units, but also inflict serious and prolonged respiratory …

Objectives The various sequence types (STs) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa)
high-risk clones (HiRiCs) have been sporadically reported in China, but the systematic …

Previously, we documented that Stenotrophomonas maltophilia encodes a type IV secretion
system (T4SS) that allows the organism to kill, in contact-dependent fashion, heterologous …

Background The prevalence of clinical multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa
