ChemBioChem, Volume 23, Issue 23, December 5, 2022., 2022 Housing sulfur: Certain fungi produce diketopiperazine compounds with a transannular sulfur bridge. These so‐called epipolythiodioxopiperzines are toxic by non‐specifically interacting with intracellular proteins and contribute to fungal pathogenicity. Producer strains serve as bio‐pesticides but also question safety of food fermentation.

pH‐Responsive AIE Photosensitizers for Enhanced Antibacterial Therapy
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This study develops DHTPA, a NIR fluorescent, pH‐responsive AIE photosensitizer that enhances photodynamic therapy for bacterial infections by promoting ROS generation in acidic environments, demonstrating effective antibacterial activity and accelerated wound healing in vitro and in vivo.

Analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence in Dictyostelium discoideum Strains [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Dictyostelium discoideum is an ideal organism to test the pathogenicity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, since its eukaryote nature allows for comparisons to be made to human health. Additionally, D. discoideum naturally feeds on bacteria and has a simplistic genome which improves result interpretation. P.

Strategic use of virulence pattern to develop genetic markers for resistance to common bunt (Tilletia caries) in wheat [PDF]
, 2018 When assesssing races of common bunt for virulens pattern within a region, it is important to take into account that collected spores may represent a diverse population of different virulence races.

Identification of the long polar fimbriae gene variants in the locus of enterocyte effacement-negative Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli strains isolated from humans and cattle in Argentina [PDF]
, 2010 The long polar fimbriae (Lpf) is one of few adhesive factors of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and it is associated with colonization of the intestine. Studies have demonstrated the presence of lpf genes in several pathogenic E.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study explores social immunity in gregarious locusts using a groundbreaking animal–robot–pathogen interaction model. By comparing locust responses to biomimetic agents mimicking healthy and infected individuals, significant behavioral changes are revealed.

Characterizing virulence differences in a parasitoid wasp through comparative transcriptomic and proteomic [PDF]
arXivBackground: Two strains of the endoparasitoid Cotesia typhae present a differential parasitism success on the host, Sesamia nonagrioides. One is virulent on both permissive and resistant host populations, and the other only on the permissive host. This interaction provides a very interesting frame for studying virulence factors.
