Pseudomonas fluorescens is not generally considered a bacterial pathogen in humans;
however, multiple culture-based and culture-independent studies have identified it at low …

Matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF
MS) is an excellent tool for bacterial identification. It allows high throughput, sensitive and …

Plant stress studies are more and more based on gene expression. The analysis of gene
expression requires sensitive, precise, and reproducible measurements for specific mRNA …

Bacteria in biofilms often undergo active dispersal events and revert to a free-swimming,
planktonic state to complete the biofilm life cycle. The signaling molecule nitric oxide (NO) …

Etiological agents of acute, persistent, or relapsing clinical infections are often refractory to
antibiotics due to multidrug resistance and/or antibiotic tolerance. Pseudomonas aeruginosa …

Plasmids are important drivers of bacterial evolution, but it is challenging to understand how
plasmids persist over the long term because plasmid carriage is costly. Classical models …

Carbapenems are important agents for the therapy of infections due to multidrug-resistant
Pseudomonas aeruginosa; the development of carbapenem resistance hampers effective …

Background Real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) has greatly improved the ease
and sensitivity of quantitative gene expression studies. However, accurate measurement of …

During infection, Pseudomonas aeruginosa employs bacterial communication (quorum
sensing [QS]) to coordinate the expression of tissue-damaging factors. QS-controlled gene …

Whole‐genome analysis of gene expression in Geobacter sulfurreducens revealed 474
genes with transcript levels that were significantly different during growth with an electrode …
