Alternatives to the stochastic "noise vector" approach [PDF]
Several important observables, like the quark condensate and the Taylor coefficients of the expansion of the QCD pressure with respect to the chemical potential, are based on the trace of the inverse Dirac operator and of its powers.

Objectives: While aztreonam-avibactam is a potent β-lactam-β-lactamase-inhibitor combination, reduced in vitro activity against some Enterobacterales isolates has been reported. In this study, globally collected clinical isolates of Enterobacterales with

Cell wall precursors are required to organize the chlamydial division septum. [PDF]
Members of the Chlamydiales order are major bacterial pathogens that divide at mid-cell, without a sequence homologue of the FtsZ cytokinetic tubulin and without a classical peptidoglycan cell wall.

A Specialized Peptidoglycan Synthase Promotes
Bacterial cell division has been studied extensively under laboratory conditions. Despite being a key event in the bacterial cell cycle, cell division has not been explored in vivo in bacterial pathogens interacting with their hosts.

Targeting the nonmevalonate pathway in Burkholderia cenocepacia increases susceptibility to certain β-lactam antibiotics [PDF]
The nonmevalonate pathway is the sole pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis in Burkholderia cenocepacia and is possibly a novel target for the development of antibacterial chemotherapy.

Oropharyngeal colonization by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae among healthy children attending day care centers [PDF]
Haemophilus influenzae colonizes the upper respiratory tract and can spread causing otitis and sinusitis. This work aimed to study the oropharyngeal carriage rate in healthy

Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential constituent of the bacterial cell wall. During cell division, PG synthesis localizes at midcell under the control of a multiprotein complex, the divisome, allowing the safe formation of two new cell poles and separation

DipM, a new factor required for peptidoglycan remodelling during cell division in Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
In bacteria, cytokinesis is dependent on lytic enzymes that facilitate remodelling of the cell wall during constriction. In this work, we identify a thus far uncharacterized periplasmic protein, DipM, that is required for cell division and polarity in ...
