A competence-regulated toxin-antitoxin system in Haemophilus influenzae.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Natural competence allows bacteria to respond to environmental and nutritional cues by taking up free DNA from their surroundings, thus gaining both nutrients and genetic information.

Identification of a VapBC toxin–antitoxin system in a thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus HB27 [PDF]
, 2017 There are 12 putative toxin–antitoxin (TA) loci in the Thermus thermophilus HB27 genome, including four VapBC and three HicBA families. Expression of these seven putative toxin genes in Escherichia coli demonstrated that one putative VapC toxin TTC0125 ...

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.bymBDZ accelerates early regrowth of persister‐derived E. coli and potentiates antibiotic killing. Its activity requires the MdtL–DcrB axis and is associated with envelope‐linked transport changes that increase intracellular small‐molecule exposure during recovery, thereby enhancing clearance in early treatment windows. ABSTRACT Persister cells survive

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Cirrhosis favours infections that can lead to liver decompensation and death. Some of these infections can be prevented by vaccination. This study aimed to evaluate the immune response after HBV, pneumococcal, diphtheria, and tetanus vaccination in cirrhotic patients.

A differential effect of E. coli toxin-antitoxin systems on cell death in liquid media and biofilm formation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules are gene pairs specifying for a toxin and its antitoxin and are found on the chromosomes of many bacteria including pathogens. Here we report how each of five such TA systems in E. coli affect bacterial cell death differently

Viable but Nonculturable State, a Survival Strategy for Salmonella in Aquatic Environments
Water and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 183-202, May 2026.Transition of Salmonella from a culturable state to a viable but nonculturable state under various environmental stresses and current methods for detecting viable Salmonella in environmental samples. ABSTRACT In the relentless battle for survival, Salmonella has evolved mechanisms to withstand harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures, fluctuating ...

Safety and Pharmacokinetics of a Four Monoclonal Antibody Combination Against Botulinum C and D Neurotoxins. [PDF]
, 2019 Botulism is caused by botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), the most poisonous substance known. BoNTs are also classified as Tier 1 biothreat agents due to their high potency and lethality.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 14, 10 April 2026.Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Keeping the wolves at bay: antitoxins of prokaryotic type II toxin-antitoxin systems
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2016 In their initial stages of discovery, prokaryotic toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were confined to bacterial plasmids where they function to mediate the maintenance and stability of usually low- to medium-copy number plasmids through the post-segregational ...
