Lipopolysaccharide-Deficient Brucella Variants Arise Spontaneously during Infection [PDF]
Lipopolysaccharide-deficient mutants of smooth Brucella species (rough mutants) have been shown to arise spontaneously in culture. However, in situ analysis of Brucella infected macrophages using antibody directed against O-polysaccharide suggested a ...

ABSTRACT The importance of early diagnosis of inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) is well known, as it allows early intervention to prevent or reduce complications and improve prognosis, since many of these disorders are treatable. However, diagnosis can still be delayed, and many patients remain undiagnosed. Reducing diagnosis delays is a primary goal

ABSTRACT Low temperature triggers Ca2+ signalling and reprogramming of gene expression and metabolism in plants. However, how the Ca2+ signal is transduced to the downstream metabolic pathways remains unknown. The involvement of a cold‐induced calmodulin‐like protein, MfCML50, from Medicago falcata in regulation of cold tolerance was examined in the ...

PslE is essential for the ability of S. aureus‐derived extracellular vesicles to enhance P. aeruginosa pathogenicity. ABSTRACT Coinfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is frequently observed. Our previous study demonstrated that S. aureus‐derived extracellular vesicles (SaEVs) promote P.
