Bacterial glycosylation represents a sophisticated mechanism by which pathogens modify both host and bacterial proteins, thereby subverting immune responses and modulating cellular processes. Central ...

The field of host-microbiome interactions has increasingly recognized the complex relationship between oral bacteria and gut microbiota, particularly ...

The fascinating world of bacteria that live as symbionts or parasites in animal hosts often remains a mystery to researchers. A research team has made a breakthrough that provides insights into this ...

Bacteria uses multiple defense mechanisms to survive in the host body. Shigella bacteria, that causes colitis, disable multiple host defense pathways using three specialized effector proteins, as ...

Future Microbiol. 2010;5(2):267-288. The development and use of informatics tools and databases for glycobiology and glycomics research has increased considerably in recent years. However, the general ...

Bacteriophages, or phages, viruses that selectively target and infect bacteria, have drawn growing attention for their potential use in a host of biotechnological processes to benefit humankind, from ...

Viruses in human-made environments cause public health concerns, but they are generally less studied than bacteria. A recent study led by environmental scientists provided the first evidence of ...
