A re-entrant phase transition in the survival of secondary infections on networks [PDF]

, 2018
We study the dynamics of secondary infections on networks, in which only the individuals currently carrying a certain primary infection are susceptible to the secondary infection. In the limit of large sparse networks, the model is mapped to a branching process spreading in a random time-sensitive environment, determined by the dynamics of the ...

Genomic Insights Into a Strong Biofilm‐Forming Enterococcus faecalis MTR_EFS01 Strain Isolated From a Shrimp in Bangladesh

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study characterizes a multidrug‐resistant and strong biofilm‐forming Enterococcus faecalis strain obtained from a shrimp sample in Bangladesh. ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis is known for its ability to form strong biofilms and its role as an opportunistic pathogen. In this study, we screened and characterized a multidrug‐resistant (MDR) and strong

TnSmu1 is a functional integrative and conjugative element in Streptococcus mutans that when expressed causes growth arrest of host bacteria

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 652-669, December 2022., 2022
TnSmu1 is an integrative and conjugative element (ICE) (a type of mobile element that is transferred from cell to cell via conjugation) found in the genome of the oral pathogen Streptococcus mutans. We found that TnSmu1 is a functional ICE, capable of transfer to recipient cells that lack a copy of TnSmu1.
