Why Is MS a More Frequent Complication of EBV Infection in Females?
ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a T helper (Th) cell‐mediated disease that targets central nervous system (CNS) white matter. This disease affects three times more females than males. For many years, the etiology of MS was not well understood and the exact nature of the autoimmune reaction was speculative.

Phages Mediate Bacterial Self-Recognition
Summary: Cells are social, and self-recognition is a conserved aspect of group behavior where cells assist kin and antagonize non-kin. However, the role of phage in self-recognition is unexplored.

ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by gram‐negative bacteria have gained increased scientific interest over the last years due to a growing understanding of their roles in pathogenesis and biotechnological potential. However, isolating such nanoparticles is technically challenging. Here, we evaluated a rapid and reproducible protocol for EV

Lytic Activity of Isolated Phage from Milk Against Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Escherichia coli
Background and purpose: Escherichia coli (E.coli) is the most common cause of urinary tract infection. The treatment strategy has been hampered by the emergence of broad-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing E.coli and its resistance to most antibiotics ...

Controlled overproduction of proteins by lactic acid bacteria [PDF]
Lactic acid bacteria are widely used in industrial food fermentations, contributing to flavour, texture and preservation of the fermented products. Here we describe recent advances in the development of controlled gene expression systems, which allow the
