Mechanisms governing bacterial capsular polysaccharide attachment and chain length

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are high‐molecular weight glycopolymers that form a capsule layer on the surface of many bacterial species. This layer serves as a crucial barrier between bacteria and their environment, protecting them from host immune responses and environmental stressors while facilitating adaptation to host niches.

A century of assessment: A systematic review of biothreat risk assessments

open access: yesRisk Analysis, EarlyView.
Abstract Throughout the past century, assessments of the risks and benefits posed by high‐consequence biological agents have guided US decision‐making on weapons research, countermeasure development, and security policy. However, the dispersed nature of these biothreat risk assessments has presented various difficulties, such as duplicative effort ...

Fighting Antibiotic Resistance: Insights Into Human Barriers and New Opportunities

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 6, June 2025.
Antibiotic resistance is a public health issue leading to the emergence of multi‐resistant bacteria. Human‐dependent factors are now driving the increase of resistance, notably through antibiotic misuse in human and animal health and environmental pollution.

Chromosomal DNA deletion confers phage resistance to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Bacteria develop a broad range of phage resistance mechanisms, such as prevention of phage adsorption and CRISPR/Cas system, to survive phage predation.

Precision Phage Cocktail Targeting Surface Appendages for Biocontrol of Salmonella in Cold-Stored Foods

open access: yesAntibiotics
Salmonella enterica is a major food-borne pathogen causing food poisoning. The use of bacteriophages as alternative biocontrol agents has gained renewed interest due to the rising issue of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

In-Vitro Adhesion and Invasion Properties of Salmonella Typhimurium Competing with Bacteriophage in Epithelial Cells and Chicken Macrophages

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2015
This study was designed to assess the role of bacteriophage P22 in the adhesion, invasion, intracellular survival of, and cellular immune response to Salmonella Typhimurium in intestinal epithelial INT-407 and chicken macrophage-like HD11 cells.

Fusion Phage as a Bioselective Nanomaterial : Evolution of the Concept [PDF]

open access: yesDans European Nano Systems Worshop - ENS 2006, Paris : France (2006), 2007
Multibillion-clone landscape phage display libraries were prepared by the fusion of the phage major coat protein pVIII with foreign random peptides. Phage particles and their proteins specific for cancer and bacterial cells were selected from the landscape libraries and exploited as molecular recognition interfaces in detection, gene- and drug-delivery

Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles: From Physics to Clinical

open access: yesMedComm – Biomaterials and Applications, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
A review of an introduction to the mechanisms of formation of OMVs, their action on bacteria and relationship to disease, vaccines, biomonitoring, drug delivery and regenerative medicine in the clinic. ABSTRACT Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are nanoscale vesicular structures naturally produced by Gram‐negative bacteria during growth.
