Modelling Climate‐Resilient Habitats for Conservation and Restoration of Isoberlinia doka Craib and Stapf and Isoberlinia tomentosa (Harms) Craib and Stapf in Benin

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Despite having similar climatic niches, woody plant species can exhibit contrasting responses to climate change. Using MaxEnt and spatial prioritization, we evaluated Isoberlinia doka and I. tomentosa under future climate scenarios (2041–2060). Despite high niche overlap (D = 0.635; I = 0.788), I. doka experienced severe habitat contraction, whereas I.

Pilus phase variation switches gonococcal adherence to invasion by caveolin-1-dependent host cell signaling.

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Many pathogenic bacteria cause local infections but occasionally invade into the blood stream, often with fatal outcome. Very little is known about the mechanism underlying the switch from local to invasive infection. In the case of Neisseria gonorrhoeae,

yqhG Contributes to Oxidative Stress Resistance and Virulence of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli and Identification of Other Genes Altering Expression of Type 1 Fimbriae

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections and the vast majority of UTIs are caused by extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains referred to as uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC).

Protective Effects of Lactobacillus‐Derived Probiotics and Postbiotics on Renal and Reproductive Function in Escherichia coli–Infected Rats

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
A Lactobacillus‐derived probiotic and postbiotic mixture alleviates E. coli–induced renal and reproductive dysfunction by modulating oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis, leading to improved tissue integrity and sperm quality. ABSTRACT Background Escherichia coli infections of the genitourinary tract are a major cause of renal and ...

Lachnospiraceae in the Food–Gut Axis: A Critical Review of Dietary Modulation, Immune Regulation, and Translational Barriers

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The interplay between diet, gut microbiota, and host immunity is central to food science. The Lachnospiraceae family ferments dietary fibers to produce short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), notably butyrate and propionate, with immunomodulatory potential. This critical review distinguishes established findings from hypotheses.

The Major Outer Membrane Protein MopB Is Required for Twitching Movement and Affects Biofilm Formation and Virulence in Two Xylella fastidiosa strains

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2017
MopB is a major outer membrane protein (OMP) in Xylella fastidiosa, a bacterial plant pathogen that causes losses on many economically important crops. Based on in silico analysis, the uncharacterized MopB protein of X.

Beyond Bactericidal: Plasma Surface Engineering to Defeat Food Matrix‐Conditioning Layers

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The persistence of foodborne pathogens on industrial food contact surfaces continues to challenge global food safety despite advances in sanitation technologies. A central limitation of current antimicrobial strategies lies in their validation under simplified laboratory conditions that overlook the physicochemically driven formation of food ...

Genomic Characterization of Aeromonas dhakensis Isolated From a Fatal Dolphin Case

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Comparative genomic analysis of an Aeromonas dhakensis isolate recovered from a fatal dolphin case revealed close relatedness to previously described strains and a broadly comparable virulence‐associated gene profile, including rtxA, with no isolate‐specific virulence‐associated annotations identified.

Type IV Pili Can Mediate Bacterial Motility within Epithelial Cells

mBio, 2019
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among bacterial pathogens capable of twitching motility, a form of surface-associated movement dependent on type IV pili (T4P). Previously, we showed that T4P and twitching were required for P.
