Differences in microbiota between two multilocus lineages of the sugarcane Aphid (Melanaphis sacchari) in the continental United States [PDF]
The sugarcane aphid (SCA), Melanaphis Sacchari (Zehntner) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), has been considered an invasive pest of sugarcane in the continental United States since 1977. Then, in 2013, SCA abruptly became a serious pest of U.S.

The human gut bacterial genotoxin colibactin alkylates DNA
Bacterial warhead targets DNA The bacterial toxin colibactin causes double-stranded DNA breaks and is associated with the occurrence of bacterially induced colorectal cancer in humans. However, isolation of colibactin is difficult, and its mode of action

DNA vaccines for bacterial infections
DNA vaccines are an exciting development in vaccine technology which may have a special role in preventing viral infections and as ‘theracines’ for cancer. Their use in preventing bacterial infections has, by comparison, been less well documented.
