Stimulatory Effect on Mice by Bacterial Exopolysaccharide, Colanic Acid
AbstractObjective: As capsule and biofilm matrix polysaccharide, colanic acid protects bacteria from environmental factors. Its synthesis is...
-
Inhibiting fatty acid synthesis overcomes colistin resistance
Treating multidrug-resistant infections has increasingly relied on last-resort antibiotics, including polymyxins, for example colistin. As polymyxins...

Collective protection against the type VI secretion system in bacteria
Bacteria commonly face attacks from other strains using the type VI secretion system (T6SS), which acts like a molecular speargun to stab and...

Transcriptional changes involved in inhibition of biofilm formation by ε-polylysine in Salmonella Typhimurium
The pathogenicity of Salmonella Typhimurium, a foodborne pathogen, is mainly attributed to its ability to form biofilm on food contact surfaces....
