Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) act as post-transcriptional regulators controlling bacterial
adaptation to environmental changes. Our current understanding of the mechanisms …

Bacterial gene expression is under the control of a large set of molecules acting at multiple
levels. In addition to the transcription factors (TFs) already known to be involved in global …

Biofilms provide an ecological advantage against many environmental stressors, such as pH
and temperature, making it the most common life‐cycle stage for many bacteria. These …

During infection, bacterial pathogens successfully sense, respond and adapt to a myriad of
harsh environments presented by the mammalian host. This exquisite level of adaptation …

The tight and coordinated regulation of virulence gene expression is crucial to ensure the
survival and persistence of bacterial pathogens in different contexts within their hosts …

Whereas obligate human and animal bacterial pathogens may be able to depend upon the
warmth and relative stability of their chosen replication niche, environmental bacteria such …

Cellular sensing of bacterial RNA is increasingly recognized as a determinant of host-
pathogen interactions. The intracellular pathogen Listeria monocytogenes induces high …

In contrast to obligate intracellular pathogens that can remain in relatively stable host-
associated environments, the soil-living bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes has to …

Infectious diseases caused by bacterial pathogens still constitute one of the major human
health threats (1). Within the host body, pathogenic bacteria face a wide variety of hostile …

The virulon of Staphyloccocus aureus is controlled by intricate connections between
transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulators including proteins and small non-coding …
