Yersinia pestis Lineages in Mongolia
PLoS ONE, 2012 Whole genome sequencing allowed the development of a number of high resolution sequence based typing tools for Yersinia (Y.) pestis. The application of these methods on isolates from most known foci worldwide and in particular from China and the Former Soviet Union has dramatically improved our understanding of the population structure of this species.

Methionine transport in Yersinia pestis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1975 Yersinia pestis TJW, an avirulent wild-type strain, requires phenylalanine and methionine for growth. It was of interest to examine and define the methionine transport system because of this requirement. The methionine system showed saturation kinetics with a Km for transport of approximately 9 times 10(-7) M.

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 4, Page 547-559, April 2026.ABSTRACT Waterborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose mounting public health threats across sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly in rapidly urbanising regions dependent on untreated or poorly treated surface waters. This study applied shotgun metagenomic sequencing to characterise microbial communities, virulence factors and antibiotic ...

Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 10, 9 March 2026.Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.Chromosome segregation in Streptococcus pneumoniae depends on RocS, a bitopic protein whose membrane‐anchoring mechanisms were unclear. Using NMR and AFM, this study reveals that the widely conserved RocS anchor binds to membranes via a conserved kink‐helix motif which inserts into lipid nanodomains.

Bacteriophage Therapy: Current Strategies and Future Perspectives
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.This manuscript systematically reviews the expanding scope of phage applications. It moves beyond traditional antibacterial use to explore their role in precision therapies against drug‐resistant infections, their synergy with antibiotics, and advanced biomaterial‐assisted delivery systems.
