Soil pH and temperature regulate assembly processes of abundant and rare bacterial communities in agricultural ecosystems.

Environmental Microbiology, 2020
The factors determining stochastic and deterministic processes that drive microbial community structure, specifically the balance of abundant and rare bacterial taxa, remain underexplored.

Computation in bacterial communities

Physical Biology, 2020
Bacteria across many scales are involved in a dynamic process of information exchange to coordinate activity and community structure within large and diverse populations. The molecular components bacteria use to communicate have been discovered and characterized, and recent efforts have begun to understand the potential for bacterial signal exchange to

Intercepting bacterial communications

Nature Reviews Immunology, 2020
The host aryl hydrocarbon receptor can detect various quorum-sensing molecules produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which may allow host immune cells to tune their response according to the bacterial density.

Deconvoluting Interspecies Bacterial Communication

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2012
The universal bacterial signal molecule autoinducer-2 (AI-2) is derived from 4,5-dihydroxy-2,3-pentanedione (DPD). DPD exists in a complex equilibrium between multiple forms, and NMR spectroscopy has now been used to establish that the extent of the structural diversity displayed by DPD over a broad pH range is even greater than previously posited.

Antibiotic resistance in bacterial communities

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2023
Bacteria are single-celled organisms, but the survival of microbial communities relies on complex dynamics at the molecular, cellular, and ecosystem scales. Antibiotic resistance, in particular, is not just a property of individual bacteria or even single-strain populations, but depends heavily on the community context.

Colonization characteristics of bacterial communities on plastic debris, influenced by environmental factors and polymer types in the Haihe Estuary of Bohai Bay, China.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2019
The colonization characteristics of bacterial communities on microplastics or plastic debris (PD) have generated great concern in recent years. However, the influence of environmental factors and polymer types on the formation of bacterial communities on

Electrochemical communication in biofilm of bacterial community

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2020
AbstractElectrochemical communication during biofilm formation has recently been identified. Bacteria within biofilm‐adopt different strategies for electrochemical communication such as direct contact via membrane‐bound molecules, diffusive electron transfer via soluble redox‐active molecules, and ion channel‐mediated long‐range electrochemical ...

Community acquired bacterial pneumonia

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2010
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common and potentially life-threatening illness that continues to be a major medical problem. Among infectious diseases, CAP is the leading cause of death in the world and is associated with a substantial economic burden to health are systems around the globe.Recently identified clinical and biochemical tools ...

Community-acquired bacterial pneumonias

Seminars in Respiratory Infections, 2000
Community-acquired bacterial pneumonias are among the most common of infectious diseases. The diagnosis of the etiological agent is becoming more challenging and more critical as new organisms are recognized as pathogens, and as well established agents become increasingly resistant to antimicrobial agents.

Bacterial communities in floral nectar

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2011
Summary Floral nectar is regarded as the most important reward available to animal‐pollinated plants to attract pollinators. Despite the vast amount of publications on nectar properties, the role of nectar as a natural bacterial habitat is yet unexplored.
