Living bacteria therapies have been proposed as an alternative approach to treating a broad
array of cancers. In this study, we developed a genetically encoded microbial encapsulation …

These guidelines are a consensus work of a considerable number of members of the
immunology and flow cytometry community. They provide the theory and key practical …

From a technical point of view a flow cytometer is a light detection device capable of
detecting photons of different wavelengths over a high dynamic range. In order to achieve a …

Bactericidal antibiotics alter microbial metabolism as part of their lethality and can damage
mitochondria in mammalian cells. In addition, antibiotic susceptibility is sensitive to …

Phagocytosis is a fundamental cellular process that is pivotal for immunity as it coordinates
microbial killing, innate immune activation and antigen presentation. An essential step in this …

Although the natural mode of bacterial growth in nature is as biofilm, almost all antimicrobial
and immunological tests are routinely developed using planktonic inoculums. Bacterial …

The virulence of a KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae sequence type 258 (ST258) strain
representing those circulating in Greece was assessed in a mouse septicemia model. The …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is nowadays a global health concern as bacterial pathogens
are increasingly develo** resistance to antibiotics. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) …

Influenza is a common respiratory virus that infects between 5 and 20% of the US population
and results in 30,000 deaths annually. A primary cause of influenza-associated death is …

Precise enumeration of living intracellular bacteria is the key step to estimate the invasion
potential of pathogens and host immune responses to understand the mechanism and …
