Microbial Richness of Marine Biofilms Revealed by Sequencing Full-Length 16S rRNA Genes

, 2022
Marine biofilms are a collective of microbes that can grow on many different surfaces immersed in marine environments. Estimating the microbial richness and specificity of a marine biofilm community is a challenging task due to the high complexity in ...

Variability of the Microbiota in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: A Scoping Review

OTO Open
Objective Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is characterized by a persistent inflammation of the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa that could be potentially linked to a dysregulation between the microbiota and the immune system.

Convergent Within-Host Adaptation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa through the Transcriptional Regulatory Network

mSystems, 2023
Bacteria adapt to their host by mutating specific genes and by reprogramming their gene expression. Different strains of a bacterial species often mutate the same genes during infection, demonstrating convergent genetic adaptation.
