Dysbiosis in the Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis

The Journal of Dermatology, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 388-398, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by epidermal barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation. Recent research highlights cutaneous dysbiosis as a critical factor in its pathogenesis. In this review, we summarize the interplay between the skin microbiota and host immunity, contrasting the homeostatic ...

Reduced Binding of the Endolysin LysTP712 to Lactococcus lactis ΔftsH Contributes to Phage Resistance [PDF]

, 2016
Absence of the membrane protease FtsH in Lactococcus lactis hinders release of the bacteriophage TP712. In this work we have analyzed the mechanism responsible for the non-lytic phenotype of L. lactis ΔftsH after phage infection.

Comprehensive analysis of peptidoglycan hydrolases in Caulobacter crescentus

, 2016
The peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus is a large macromolecule enclosing most bacterial cells. During progression of the cell cycle, it needs to be continuously remodelled to enable elongation of the cell body and, finally, cell division.

Reduced peptidoglycan synthesis capacity impairs growth of E. coli at high salt concentration

mBio
Gram-negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer between the cytoplasmic and outer membranes protecting the cell from osmotic challenges. Hydrolases of this structure are needed to cleave bonds to allow the newly synthesized peptidoglycan strands ...

The Composition of the Cell Envelope Affects Conjugation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

, 2016
Conjugation in bacteria is the contact-dependent transfer of DNA from one cell to another via donor-encoded conjugation machinery. It is a major type of horizontal gene transfer between bacteria.

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of peptidoglycan hydrolases of Lactobacillus sakei

Journal of Advanced Research, 2016
Lactobacillus sakei, a lactic acid bacterium naturally found in fresh meat and sea products, is considered to be one of the most important bacterial species involved in meat fermentation and bio-preservation. Several enzymes of Lb. sakei species contributing to microbial safeguarding and organoleptic properties of fermented-meat were studied.
