Ankyrin-mediated self-protection during cell invasion by the bacterial predator Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus [PDF]

, 2015
Predatory Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus are natural antimicrobial organisms, killing other bacteria by whole-cell invasion. Self-protection against prey-metabolizing enzymes is important for the evolution of predation.

Current status and future perspectives of multi‐modal bacteria‐based cancer therapies

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
Bacteria exhibit inherent tumour‐targeting capabilities, particularly thriving in hypoxic tumour microenvironments (TMEs) and activating potent anti‐tumour immune responses through pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and immunomodulation.

Monoclonal antibodies to meningococcal factor H binding protein with overlapping epitopes and discordant functional activity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Meningococcal factor H binding protein (fHbp) is a promising vaccine candidate. Anti-fHbp antibodies can bind to meningococci and elicit complement-mediated bactericidal activity directly.

Tracing the evolutionary pathway: on the origin of mitochondria and eukaryogenesis

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 19, Page 5026-5041, October 2025.
This study examines the stepwise transition from archaeal–bacterial associations to the emergence of eukaryotic cells. Metabolic cooperation and endosymbiosis fostered ecological and genetic integration, with extensive gene transfer reshaping host biology.

Comparative Evaluation of qnrA, qnrB, and qnrS Genes in Enterobacteriaceae Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Cases, in Swine Units and a Hospital from Western Romania

Antibiotics, 2020
Excessive use of antimicrobials and inadequate infection control practices has turned antimicrobial resistance (AMR) into a global, public health peril. We studied the expression of qnrA, qnrB, and qnrS plasmid in ciprofloxacin (CIP)-resistant strains of

Antibody-Mediated Bacteriolysis: Enhanced Killing of Cyclacillin-Treated Bacteria

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1976
SummaryIncubation of Escherichia coli with sublethal concentrations of the semisynthetic penicillins cyclacillin and ampicil-lin substantially increased the susceptibility of the bacteria to subsequent lysis by serum antibody or specifically immunized murine spleen cells in the presence of guinea pig complement.

The Neglected Role of GSDMD C‐Terminal in Counteracting Type I Interferon Signaling

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 33, September 4, 2025.
The C‐terminal domain of Gasdermin D (GSDMD‐CT) shows functions beyond pyroptosis. GSDMD‐CT negatively regulates IFN‐I signaling during viral infection by triggering autophagic degradation of RIG‐I and TBK1. GSDMD‐CT interacts with retinoic acid‐inducible gene‐I (RIG‐I) and tank‐binding kinase 1 (TBK1), leading to TRIM28‐mediated ubiquitination and ...
