Strictly lytic phages have been consensually preferred for phage therapy purposes. In contrast, temperate phages have been avoided due to an inherent capacity to mediate transfer of genes between bacteria by specialized transduction - an ev...

Documenting the immense diversity of single-celled, eukaryotic organisms (protists) has been a formidable challenge for ecologists. These species were originally defined by morphological criteria, but shortcomings of the morphospecies conce...

The Eagle effect describes a phenomenon in which bacteria or fungi exposed to concentrations of antibiotic higher than an optimal bactericidal concentration (OBC) have paradoxically improved levels of survival than at the OBC due to a decre...
Bacterial Excretion of Cytoplasmic Proteins (ECP): Occurrence, Mechanism, and Function [0.03%]

The excretion of cytoplasmic and signal-peptide-less proteins (ECP) by microorganisms and eukaryotes remains a fascinating topic. In principle, it appears to be a waste of energy. However, it turns out that - extracellularly - some cytoplas...

SAMHD1 is a host triphosphohydrolase that degrades intracellular deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) to a lower level that restricts viral DNA synthesis, and thus prevents replication of diverse viruses in nondividing cells. Recent progre...

Antibiotic resistance is an increasingly global problem that requires different approaches to be undertaken. This article argues that games could be used to complement existing antibiotic-resistance awareness campaigns as they have several ...

Viruses of bacteria (bacteriophages or phages) are highly evolved nanomachines that recognize bacterial cell walls, deliver genetic information, and kill or transform their targets with unparalleled specificity. For a long time, the use of ...
