Anti-virulence agents are non-bacteriostatic and non-bactericidal emerging therapeutic options which hamper the production of virulence factors in pathogenic flora.

A phylogenomic analysis of the
Background The genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis harbors four copies of a cluster of genes termed mce operons. Despite extensive research that has demonstrated the importance of these operons on infection outcome, their physiological function remains ...

A Novel Lineage of Endosymbiotic Actinomycetales: Genome Reduction and Acquisition of New Functions in Bifidobacteriaceae Associated With Termite Gut Flagellates. [PDF]
Cellulolytic flagellates are essential for the symbiotic digestion of lignocellulose in the gut of lower termites. Most species are associated with host‐specific consortia of bacterial symbionts from various phyla.

F420H2-dependent degradation of aflatoxin and other furanocoumarins is widespread throughout the actinomycetales. [PDF]
Two classes of F(420)-dependent reductases (FDR-A and FDR-B) that can reduce aflatoxins and thereby degrade them have previously been isolated from Mycobacterium smegmatis. One class, the FDR-A enzymes, has up to 100 times more activity than the other. F(

Gut microbiota may affect Alzheimer's disease through synaptic function mediated by CAMs pathway: A study combining Mendelian randomization and bioinformatics. [PDF]
Background The association between gut microbes and Alzheimer's disease (AD) has not been entirely elucidated. Objective We aimed to demonstrate the association between gut microbes and AD and to further investigate the pathogenesis of microbes with a ...

The intrahepatic bacterial metataxonomic signature of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
Dysbiosis of the gut-liver axis increases the risk of bacterial and metabolite influx into the liver, which may contribute to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we compared the microbiomes in HCC tumors and adjacent tissues.
