severely ill and immunocompromised patients. Ubiquitously disseminated in the …

Acinetobacter baumannii is undoubtedly one of the most successful pathogens responsible
for hospital-acquired nosocomial infections in the modern healthcare system. Due to the …

Bacterial conjugation is the fundamental process of unidirectional transfer of DNAs, often
plasmid DNAs, from a donor cell to a recipient cell. It is the primary means by which …

One essential prokaryotic cell function is the transport of proteins from the cytoplasm into
other compartments of the cell, the environment, and/or other bacteria or eukaryotic cells—a …

Biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using plants has become a promising
substitute to the conventional chemical synthesis method. In this study, we report low-cost …

Bacteria have evolved a remarkable array of sophisticated nanomachines to export various
virulence factors across the bacterial cell envelope. In recent years, considerable progress …

The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a protein nanomachine that is widespread in Gram-
negative bacteria and is used to translocate effector proteins directly into neighbouring cells …

The mammalian gut harbors a vast community of microorganisms—termed the microbiota—
whose composition and dynamics are considered to be critical drivers of host health. These …

Bacteria utilise specialised protein secretion systems to interact with host organisms,
competitor bacteria, and the environment. The Type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a versatile …

A central goal of HIV-1 vaccine research is the elicitation of antibodies capable of
neutralizing diverse primary isolates of HIV-1. Here we show that focusing the immune …
