Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widely present in bacterial genomes. They consist of stable
toxins and unstable antitoxins that are classified into distinct groups based on their structure …

The alarming rise in hard-to-treat bacterial infections is of great concern to human health.
Thus, the identification of molecular mechanisms that enable the survival and growth of …

Mechano-bactericidal surfaces deliver lethal effects to contacting bacteria. Until now, cell
death has been attributed to the mechanical stress imparted to the bacterial cell envelope by …

Aims Metal nanoparticles are promising materials for the management of infectious diseases
as known to have various antimicrobial activities in pathogenic micro‐organisms. Among …

The inflammasome is a pivotal component of the innate immune system, acting as a
multiprotein complex that plays an essential role in detecting and responding to microbial …

The host factor for RNA phage Qβ replicase (Hfq) is a crucial post-transcriptional regulator in
many bacterial pathogens, facilitating the interaction between small non-coding RNAs …

Bacillary dysentery caused by Shigella spp. is a significant concern for human health. Small
non-coding RNA (sRNA) plays a crucial role in regulating antibiotic resistance and virulence …

Background: Bacterial persistence to antibiotics relates to the phenotypic ability to survive
lethal concentrations of otherwise bactericidal antibiotics. The quantitative nature of the time …

Although, a large proportion of pathogenic bacteria gets eliminated from hosts after antibiotic
treatment, a fraction of population confronts against such effects and undergoes growth …

Emergence of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a potent antibacterial agent for clinical
application has raised attention towards its mode of action and needs detailed …
