This review summarizes data regarding B. thuringiensis toxins responsible for most of the pathogenic properties this microorganism may exert in non-gastrointestinal infections in mammals.

Genomic evidence reveals shared and exclusive genes potentially involved in colonization and survival during alcoholic fermentation.

We demonstrate that structural or regulatory mutations of V. parahaemolyticus type III secretion systems cause downstream effects on other virulence systems, which uncovers an interconnected relationship between these systems.

Phytoplasmas are insect-transmissible plant pathogenic bacteria and we identified a phytoplasmal adhesin-like membrane protein, P38, which interacts with the hosts in a ‘Mollicutes adhesin motif’ dependent manner.

Coordinated expression of NasS and NasT proteins are important for their ability to regulate expression of the assimilatory nitrate reductase operon.

In this study, the transcriptional induction of different stress response genes of Escherichia coli in response to sodium chloride or lactic acid stress was analyzed.

This study investigates the genes involved in microbial selenium reduction.

Our results indicate the efficiency of rep-PCR fingerprinting and more realistic insight to the validity of rep-PCR as a method for rapid and precise detection and differentiation of the Botryosphaeriaceae species.

Certain bacteria may have inherent resistance to pro-drug antibiotics.

The Listeria monocytogenes transposon Tn6188 provides increased tolerance to various different disinfectants widely used in food production.

This study aims to investigate the effect of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME)-mediated sonodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (SACT) on Staphylococcus aureus.

The plant growth-promoting bacterium Pseudomonas sp. UW4 has seven rRNA operons in its genome, and the promoters of these operons displayed different strengths when the bacterium was grown under various conditions.

A perspective on possible adaptive strategies by Porphyromonas gingivalis to generate the fittest strains for survival in the host environment.
