PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Free-living amoebae are thought to represent an environmental niche in which amoeba-resistant bacteria may evolve towards pathogenicity. To get more insights into factors playing a role for adaptation to intracellular life, we characterized the ...

Amoeba Formulation of Non-Bloch Band Theory in Arbitrary Dimensions [PDF]
Physical Review X, 2022 The non-Hermitian skin effect dramatically reshapes the energy bands of non-Hermitian systems, meaning that the usual Bloch band theory is fundamentally inadequate as their characterization.

Improving Condensed-Phase Water Dynamics with Explicit Nuclear Quantum Effects: The Polarizable Q-AMOEBA Force Field. [PDF]
Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2022 We introduce a new parametrization of the AMOEBA polarizable force field for water denoted Q-AMOEBA, for use in simulations that explicitly account for nuclear quantum effects (NQEs). This study is made possible thanks to the recently introduced adaptive

Automation of AMOEBA polarizable force field for small molecules: Poltype 2
Journal of Computational Chemistry, 2022 A next‐generation protocol (Poltype 2) has been developed which automatically generates AMOEBA polarizable force field parameters for small molecules. Both features and computational efficiency have been drastically improved.

Adaptation to an Amoeba Host Leads to Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates with Attenuated Virulence
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2022 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes both acute infections in plants and animals, including humans, and chronic infections in immunocompromised and cystic fibrosis patients.

Adaptation to an amoeba host drives selection of virulence-associated traits in Vibrio cholerae
The ISME Journal, 2021 Predation by heterotrophic protists drives the emergence of adaptive traits in bacteria, and often these traits lead to altered interactions with hosts and persistence in the environment.

The Ecology and Evolution of Amoeba-Bacterium Interactions
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 Amoebae are protists that have complicated relationships with bacteria, covering the whole spectrum of symbiosis. Amoeba-bacterium interactions contribute to the study of predation, symbiosis, pathogenesis, and human health. Given the complexity of their

Clinical Characteristic of Bloody Diarrhea in Under- Five Pediatric Inpatients
Archives of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, 2022 Background: Diarrhea is the most common cause of death in under-five children. Bloody diarrhea comprises around 10% of all cases of diarrhea and may lead to severe complications until death.

The ‘Amoeboid Predator-Fungal Animal Virulence’ Hypothesis
Journal of Fungi, 2019 The observation that some aspects of amoeba-fungal interactions resemble animal phagocytic cell-fungal interactions, together with the finding that amoeba passage can enhance the virulence of some pathogenic fungi, has stimulated interest in the amoeba ...

Testate Amoeba Functional Traits and Their Use in Paleoecology
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past hydrological changes in paleoecological investigations from peatland ...
