Characterization of the adherence of Clostridium difficile spores: The integrity of the outermost layer affects adherence properties of spores of the epidemic strain R20291 to components of the intestinal mucosa. [PDF]
Clostridium difficile is the causative agent of the most frequently reported nosocomial diarrhea worldwide. The high incidence of recurrent infection is the main clinical challenge of C. difficile infections (CDI). Formation of C. difficile spores of the

Toxicity study of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein expressed on Bacillus subtilis spores [PDF]
Background The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is the primary antigen used in most COVID-19 vaccines. To improve protection, especially at mucosal surfaces, a robust and safe delivery system capable of inducing both systemic and mucosal immunity is needed ...

Oral vaccination of fish against vibriosis using spore-display technology
Oral vaccines are highly demanded by the aquaculture sector, to allow mass delivery of antigens without using the expensive and labor-intensive injectable vaccines. These later require individual handling of fish, provoking stress-related mortalities.One

Research Progress on Formation, Germination and Control Methods of Bacterial Spores
Bacterial spores are extremely resistant to various processing techniques attributable to its special structure and physiological processes, and often lead to the spoilage of thermally sterilized food. Therefore, it is of great significance to inactivate
