Biophysical investigation of bacterial aggregation [PDF]
, 2008 In nature, bacteria usually exist as aggregates, in order to withstand changes in environmental conditions. Bacterial aggregation is of great significance in the field of biotechnology, environmental studies and medicine.

Bacterial communities of the oviduct of turkeys
Scientific Reports, 2022 AbstractBacterial communities in the reproductive tract of avian species play an important role in keeping birds healthy and encouraging growth. Infection can occur during egg formation with pathogens that can be transmitted to the embryo. In this study, we investigated the bacterial composition in the turkey reproductive tract using a taxa ...

Profiling of Oral Bacterial Communities [PDF]
Journal of Dental Research, 2020 The profiling of bacterial communities by the sequencing of housekeeping genes such as that encoding the small subunit ribosomal RNA has revealed the extensive diversity of bacterial life on earth. Standard protocols have been developed and are widely used for this application, but individual habitats may require modification of methods.

The Type VI Secretion System: A Dynamic System for Bacterial Communication? [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2017 Numerous studies in Gram-negative bacteria have focused on the Type VISecretion Systems (T6SSs), Quorum Sensing (QS), and social behavior, such as in biofilms.

Journal of Biosciences, 2002 For a long time, the ability to communicate has been considered as an exclusive property of multicellular "higher" organisms. However, research over the past few decades has raised serious doubts about this point of view. Complex behaviours such as chemotaxis, quorum sensing and biofilm formation show that bacteria can communicate with the environment,

Microbial communication, cooperation and cheating: quorum sensing drives the evolution of cooperation in bacteria [PDF]
, 2009 An increasing body of empirical evidence suggests that cooperation among clone-mates is common in bacteria. Bacterial cooperation may take the form of the excretion of ‘‘public goods’’: exoproducts such as virulence factors, exoenzymes or components of ...

Computer-assisted modeling of Quorum sensing in bacterial population exposed to antibiotics
Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2022 A mathematical model for bacterial growth and control by antibiotics treatment, including Quorum sensing as a special kind of communication, is introduced.

From Insect Communication to Bacterial Communication [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2014 One of the driving forces in the early stages of the ISCE and the Journal of Chemical Ecologywas the aim to unravel the chemistry and biology of insect communication. Since then, a remarkable number of insect pheromones have been identified, probably for about 1,000 species, and the mysteries of their formation and perception elucidated, in some cases ...

Community-acquired bacterial meningitis [PDF]
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2016 Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges and subarachnoid space that can also involve the brain cortex and parenchyma. It can be acquired spontaneously in the community - community-acquired bacterial meningitis - or in the hospital as a complication of invasive procedures or head trauma (nosocomial bacterial meningitis).
