Comparative genomic analysis of Acinetobacter spp. plasmids originating from clinical settings and environmental habitats [PDF]
, 2018 Bacteria belonging to the genus Acinetobacter have become of clinical importance over the last decade due to the development of a multi-resistant phenotype and their ability to survive under multiple environmental conditions.

MicroorganismsBacterial ubiquitous Toxin-Antitoxin (TA) systems are considered to be important survival mechanisms during stress conditions. In regular environmental conditions, the antitoxin blocks the toxin, whereas during imbalanced conditions, the antitoxin ...

Geometric Properties of Isostables and Basins of Attraction of Monotone Systems [PDF]
, 2017 In this paper, we study geometric properties of basins of attraction of monotone systems. Our results are based on a combination of monotone systems theory and spectral operator theory.

Caracterização da interação HipAB na Shewanella oneidensis MR1 [PDF]
, 2013 Mestrado em BioquímicaBacterial resistance is a major issue in research related to environmental and public health, due to the ineffectiveness of antibiotics, resulting from a subpopulation of bacterial cells entering a dormant state.

Novel type II toxin-antitoxin systems with VapD-like proteins
mBioType II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widespread in prokaryotes. They consist of neighboring genes encoding two small proteins: a toxin that inhibits a critical cellular process and an antitoxin that binds to and neutralizes the toxin.

The Role of Scientific Discovery in the Establishment of the First Biological Weapons Programmes [PDF]
, 2005 YesThis report addresses the scientific and technological discoveries in the biological sciences that enabled the early interest in biological warfare to move from hurling infected corpses into enemy cities in ancient times, through use of small cultures

Type II Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Escherichia coli
Infection and Drug ResistanceThe toxin-antitoxin (TA) system is widespread in prokaryotes and archaea, comprising toxins and antitoxins that counterbalance each other. Based on the nature and mode of action of antitoxins, they are classified into eight groups (type I to VIII). Both the toxins and the antitoxins are proteins in type II TA systems, and the antitoxin gene is usually ...
