The bacterial cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan, and its biosynthesis is an established target for antibiotics. Peptidoglycan is assembled from a glycopeptide precursor, Lipid II, that is polymerized by peptidoglycan glycosyltransferases into glycan strands that are subsequently cross-linked to form the mature cell wall.

Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in Biomedical Research and Clinical Translation
Bacterial membrane vesicle biomedical applications. ABSTRACT Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles (bEVs) are lipid (single‐ or double‐bilayer) nanostructures secreted by virtually all bacteria that play fundamental roles in intercellular communication and have emerged as powerful, multifunctional tools in biomedicine. Their intrinsic ability to encapsulate

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments
ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...

Protein O‐glycosylation in the Bacteroidota phylum
Species of the Bacteroidota phylum exhibit a unique O‐glycosylation system. It modifies noncytoplasmic proteins on a specific amino acid motif with a shared glycan core but a species‐specific outer glycan. A locus of multiple glycosyltransferases responsible for the synthesis of the outer glycan has been identified.

Expanding Horizons in Phage Therapy: Addressing Antibiotic Resistance in Aquaculture
ABSTRACT Aquaculture has emerged as a cornerstone of global food security, yet its rapid intensification has precipitated widespread bacterial disease outbreaks and escalating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This review critically examines the limitations of conventional antibiotic use in aquaculture, highlighting regulatory inconsistencies ...

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation
This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

We discovered that Salmonella uses structured, recurrent variation in epigenetically regulated promoter regions to fine‐tune gene expression, revealing a novel evolutionary strategy for surface adaptation. ABSTRACT Bacterial adaptation to dynamic and hostile environments often relies on the ability to modify surface structures, which are subjected to ...

Listeria monocytogenes—Can We Reduce or Eliminate It From Food Commodities?
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen responsible for listeriosis. Traditional control methods include heat treatment, high‐pressure processing, irradiation, and acidification, all aimed at reducing bacterial load in foods. Emerging strategies include gene expression, CRISPR‐Cas9, bacteriophage, competitive exclusion via beneficial microbes ...
