Scientists have identified a new mechanism of bacterial pathogenesis. The results of the research project, partly funded by the Academy of Finland, have been published in the journal Proceedings of ...
EcOpgD is a β-1,2-glucanase involved in the adjustment of the chain length of osmo-regulated periplasmic glucans (OPGs). A reaction mechanism with an unprecedentedly long proton transfer pathway has ...
A pathogen is a term that refers to a microorganism that causes disease in an organism. Pathogenicity is the ability of the pathogen to produce disease. Pathogenicity is expressed by microbes using ...
Disease microbiology is a vast field of research, especially encompassing the recent and rapid advancements of omics science ...
Gram-negative bacteria cause a variety of infectious diseases in plants and animals alike. Outbreaks of Salmonella and E. coli infections often make headlines due to their severity, and people have to ...
Bacteria are constantly moving by help of motility organs called flagella or pili to colonize new niches. Also, bacteria can exchange information, like “speaking to each other”, and thus acquire new ...
