Expression of the LEA‐K peptide in E. coli BL21 (DE3) improved bacterial viability under acidic stress (pH4), suggesting a protective function. RNA‐sequencing of LEA‐K‐expressing vs. non‐expressing cells revealed 283 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In silico docking linked LEA‐K to two‐component systems (TCS) proteins (Rcs, BtsS/R, and EnvZ/OmpR)

Francisella and tularemia in western Asia, Iran: a systematic review
Tularemia or rabbit fever is a transmissible disease from animals, rodents, and insects to human populations that is caused by Francisella tularensis. Epidemiological studies showed that tularemia is endemic throughout most different regions of the world.

Identification of small RNAs in Francisella tularensis [PDF]
Background: Regulation of bacterial gene expression by small RNAs (sRNAs) have proved to be important for many biological processes. Francisella tularensis is a highly pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium that causes the disease tularaemia in humans and ...

Glycosylation of DsbA in Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis [PDF]
ABSTRACTInFrancisella tularensissubsp.tularensis, DsbA has been shown to be an essential virulence factor and has been observed to migrate to multiple protein spots on two-dimensional electrophoresis gels. In this work, we show that the protein is modified with a 1,156-Da glycan moiety inO-linkage.

ABSTRACT Introduction Black flies (Simuliidae) are globally distributed blood‐feeding arthropods and vectors of viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens to many animal species, including humans. We investigated the occurrence of selected vector‐borne pathogens in black flies in South Moravia, Czech Republic, and evaluated their possible role in the ...

ABSTRACT Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are frequently used as health supplements. They enhance digestion, regulate immunity, improve gut microbiota, and prevent and manage diseases. Autophagy has a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of tumors, cardiovascular diseases, and pathogenic infections.
