Hepatitis B Virus, Pneumococcal, Diphtheria, and Tetanus Vaccination Responses in Compensated Cirrhosis

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 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 ...

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 ...

parD toxin–antitoxin system of plasmid R1 – basic contributions, biotechnological applications and relationships with closely‐related toxin–antitoxin systems [PDF]

The FEBS Journal, 2010
Toxin–antitoxin systems, as found in bacterial plasmids and their host chromosomes, play a role in the maintenance of genetic information, as well as in the response to stress. We describe the basic biology of the parD/kiskid toxin–antitoxin system of Escherichia coli plasmid R1, with an emphasis on regulation, toxin activity, potential applications in

Recent advances in noncanonical inhibition mechanisms of anti‐CRISPR proteins

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 133-147, April 2026.
Abstract The CRISPR‐Cas system constitutes an adaptive immune mechanism in prokaryotes that defends against mobile genetic elements. Within the perpetual co‐evolutionary arms race between bacteria and their viral predators, bacteriophages encode anti‐CRISPR (Acr) proteins that use sophisticated molecular strategies to sabotage CRISPR‐Cas function ...

Inhibition of Targeted Bacterial Growth Using MazF‐Expressing Phagemids: A Novel Therapeutic Approach Based on Endoribonuclease Toxin Molecules

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 206-213, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The extensive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, which are intended to halt bacterial growth or eliminate them, has unintentionally given rise to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is a critical threat to global health. In the pursuit of alternative solutions, researchers have focused on type II toxin–antitoxin systems prevalent within ...

Bistability in type I toxin-antitoxin systems may lead to stress-induced persister formation

npj Systems Biology and Applications
Antibiotic persistence, characterized by a dormant subpopulation of bacterial cells that causes chronic and recurrent infections, remains poorly understood despite being recognized nearly a century ago. Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems, which include a toxin
