Inactivation of staphylococcal virulence factors using a light-activated antimicrobial agent [PDF]
, 2009 Background: One of the limitations of antibiotic therapy is that even after successful killing of the infecting microorganism, virulence factors may still be present and cause significant damage to the host.

Bound to succeed: Transcription factor binding site prediction and its contribution to understanding virulence and environmental adaptation in bacterial plant pathogens [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Bacterial plant pathogens rely on a battalion of transcription factors to fine-tune their response to changing environmental conditions and marshal the genetic resources required for successful pathogenesis. Prediction of transcription factor binding sites represents an important tool for elucidating regulatory networks, and has been conducted in ...

Low‐Irradiance Antimicrobial Blue Light‐Bathing Therapy for Wound Infection Control
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Antimicrobial blue light has been shown as an appealing non‐pharmacological antimicrobial alternative. However, its clinical applications have been hindered by high irradiance‐associated photothermal risks. In this work, a low‐irradiance blue light‐bathing concept and a wearable photonic wound patch are established to address this challenge in terms of

Computational Motility Tracking of Calcium Dynamics in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Toxoplasma gondii is the causative agent responsible for toxoplasmosis and serves as one of the most common parasites in the world. For a successful lytic cycle, T. gondii must traverse biological barriers in order to invade host cells, and as such, motility is critical for its virulence. Calcium signaling, governed by fluctuations in cytosolic calcium
