Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a prominent opportunistic pathogen whose virulence is closely linked to its Type III Secretion System (T3SS), a specialized apparatus that injects effector proteins into host cells. T3SS chaperones are essential for stabilizing, delivering, and regulating T3SS expression.

The bacterial Type III toxin-antitoxin system, ToxIN, is a dynamic protein-RNA complex with stability-dependent antiviral abortive infection activity. [PDF]
Bacteria have evolved numerous defense systems to protect themselves from viral (bacteriophage) infection. The ToxIN system of Pectobacterium atrosepticum is a Type III toxin-antitoxin complex and "altruistic suicide" anti-phage system, which kills phage-

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

Identification and characterisation of toxin-antitoxin systems (TA) in Burkholderia pseudomallei [PDF]
The aim of this study was to identify and characterise type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems in Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of the human disease melioidosis. 8 putative TA systems were identified within the genome of B. pseudomallei

Viable but Nonculturable State, a Survival Strategy for Salmonella in Aquatic Environments
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 ...
